That is Rik Fox. He was the bassist with Steeler in the 80's. He is recording some tunes with Ron Keel right now. He is a member of the Facebook group. Pretty sure he loaded EMG's in his Bird.
I always dig the pre gig set up.

Since it is Wednesday, the whitebird is coming with me to the first practice of my new project. Hoping it goes well.

I don’t have. A clue. But could be cool to try.
You guys are killing me. My flight attendant daughter, who is “stuck” at the TWA Hotel due to the FAA system crashing today, reminded me that I can get out to see you all pretty easily (when the FAA gets it’s s**t together) for free. Either one of you want to take in a game at Yankee Stadium? And I’ve got to see Ken at a show. Something to try and make happen this year.
I’m in tears every time I hear Neil sing this. I know some here aren’t fans. And that’s fine. But tell me this doesn’t resonate with you, even today.
Thanks V. Tell them you have a friend in SoCal looking for one to replace the neck pickup in a Bach II. I wonder if the Lollar spacer will work?
Not me. I don’t look good in Orange.
This has happened a couple times since Saturday. It’s like half the posts get cut even though they look okay before I hit the post button. Not sure if it’s TB or my internet provider which is a long range Wi-Fi system that the weather is messing with. It was pretty bad yesterday trying to get work done.…did you just get mugged mid sentence?
I was blown away hitting the McVie line for The Chain. I need a Tbird with a Lull neck pickup. One trick pony my a**. Like a Pbass on roids. Exquisite.
I last saw him at the Fox in Bakersfield. Maybe the best concert venue in California. Before the pandemic. I’ve asked my friend who owns World Records in Bako about booking him. Another first class venue (where I’ve seen Mavis Staples, Los Lobos, Sun Volt, and others) a couple blocks from the Fox. He has tried, but the math just doesn’t work. For anyone in Cali, seeing a show at either place is amazing. Well worth the drive.
If you’re offering to help, accepted! I’m thinking I want you to also help with a clear guard for the ‘13 NR. I swear the Bach will be it for this year and the focus will be on making everything else the way I want them. I know, famous last words…I think the Artec in the Bach has “squarer” corners - you’ll need a trim ring, or a new pickguard
Of course, the most important thing is that the Embassy now has purple silks instead of red.
EDIT: Spent a little more time f---ing* around with the Embassy-slightly past 10(oops!). Really liking the sound with the EBCFs and these are old ones. I might order another set of the SIT Power Flats(significantly cheaper), but damn these things sound and feel great. Looking forward to using it Saturday night on the gig. May shock the rest o' the group seeing as how I hadn't told them about this purchase.
