i’ve wondered whether that would work.
Not the most flattering of situations.
, I'll make matters worse, was also at all 6 shows in '77.
3rd-10th row center.
Yes, only the black Jazz in '78.
Not a fretless.
So you're in "Baby Snakes" too.
Say you saw Group 87 too. I believe Pat used a Jazz with that band too.
Sure thing! So I originally looked for a vintage 2 piece bridge that is standard on the VP. The only one I could find is a vintage style from Philadelphia Luthier Company. I ordered it, and found that the anchors were too big for the original holes in the body. I didn't want to drill out the holes any wider so looked for smaller anchors. I ended up ordering some from StewMac, which while they fit the holes, the screws/bolts did not fit the bridge itself. This is where I abandoned the vintage bridge altogether and looked for a different option. The 2 point hipshot supertone looked like it might work, so I ordered one of evilBay. It fit the anchors I had, but the included bolts didn't. I ended up using the larger flat head bolts from the anchor set. No modifications were needed beyond that. Just a bit of trial and error, and returning stuff. I don't love how the bolts look, and might try to hunt down a cleaner option, but it works so far. I also don't love the knobs on there currently, but they were the only Imperial threaded ones I had laying around.
Unfortunately not as fun as it looks. It's a she, cleaning herself after the litter box.
Can't wait for TT. A surprise awaits

Indeed, the Queen will likely have a certain something as well.
But you always have a "certain" somethingIndeed, the Queen will likely have a certain something as well.
Since we're on a Steely Dan kick, check out these two, first version of Third World Man with a different title and different lyrics and a more spare arrangement, the only thing I miss are the harmony vocals at the end of the song, Larry Carlton's sublime solo is less buried or is louder in the mix (same thing?
) in the first version.Chuck Rainey again on bass.

He was also one of the first if not the first to play those high up on the neck III - flat-VII double stops, not sure about my terminology.
Yes, I read that somewhere too, the first time I ever heard/noticed it was in 'Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin', when I was sixteen, I thought he had his action too low, no idea he had developed a new technique.

A new black dress and.........
Black will certainly be the color of the day.
I'm not sure if they did that many live stuff anyway. Bozzio was on the album only (the first one).
Patrick O'Hearn also played on a Tony Williams album "Play Or Die" in 1980 after which I think he joined The Missing Persons.
His bass on Zappa's "The Ocean Is The Ultimate Solution" is mind-blowing. Especially the upright bass stuff. It was the first time he played with Zappa actually.

And a new Bach?
I think Frank is picking it up at the Post Office today......
Some Blue might show up too.
Black and blue. Pretty normal day for me.
