This is usually the case. There are people in the Mesa Club from the UK and Europe who have been waiting forever because of shipping issues to get amps and cabs.
I haven’t been in a band in years. I’m hoping to be able to when I retire. Our mountain community where the other house is actually has a pretty active guitar society that I’m hoping to join and and find people to play with.
For @GBassNorth.
George,
On the ‘15, pickup height is 4 mm in the front and 5 mm in the rear at the middle of the pickup with the base of the ruler straddling the pole pieces. I still have the shim plate under the Babicz. No one who played it at the GTG mentioned noticing a chorus effect.
MCF.

I can help with the “put your name on it” partThe magic is in the detailing. I wouldn't want to replicate a sig bass, but make a better sounding one for less in a finish/colour of your choice. A (your name here) signature bass.Hey.., that's good... could replace "your guitar should dress like a star"
I agree with you Marshall, but the reality is many touring acts use tracks and it’s only us old musician dudes that sit there and say wait a minute… who’s playing that part?
That’s how I learned to hold a hockey stick.
I don’t know about the bad juju, but I get into multiple playing situations knowing that they won’t all work out.
And I take sub gigs.
Sometimes I’m scheduled for every night of the week, but it’s rare that everything actually happens.
In a round about way, you are claiming that lefties playing right should be better players...
@BklynKen agree?
My own experience trying lefty, it was much more challenging than I expected. In part because I assumed that everything I learned right would transfer easily. It didn't. I think if I had the patience to stick with it longer, I would have made progress, but it would be like learning to play from square one all over again. The only advantage would be already knowing some songs.
I have thought that for a teacher, there would be an advantage to playing lefty. In demonstrating to a student, it would be like looking in a mirror, which is a view we are accustomed to. My teacher opined that the advantage to learning to play lefty would be empathy - having a recent memory of how difficult playing can be when it is new.
You've pretty well covered my thinking (and brief experience trying).
Earlier trip, same feelings. <3
My expression is like... "how do I play "Live and Let Die" with this f-ing cast on my arm?"
Why do we never see pics of Chuck on that purplish bike?
Well, Mark Twain mentioned 3 ways to get rid of bad luck in Tom Sawyer (or was it Huckleberry Finn?);
- a ritual involving a spunkwater stump (the water standing in an old oak tree stump);
- a ritual involving a dead black cat, a graveyard, and midnight; and
- a ritual involving half a bean with your blood on it.
Personally, I've always wanted to try the one with the spunkwater stump...
What's stopping you?
Dealer agreements is why it took 13 months for me to get my NR.
Sorry to hear that. I feel for you. I was hoping to put something together with a drummer and build from there, but he is not taking care of his health and that keeps any plans into the (possible) future.
Dislocated hip is a big deal. And difficult to do.
Apparently third time and it is a hip replacement. Sounds like surgeon screwed up or Fender parts
Pronounced Foo-Koo ? Gainesville Texas is not exactly the center of the Japanese food universe.
Been getting used to the rounds I put on my burst bird.
Not half bad at all.
Let’s see how long they last.
But what I really wanna try is Geos suggestion. The white nylon LaBellas.
I loved Chucks 2013 with the black ones.
The whites are brighter.
