Our Bond Girl show tonight at Winters' Tavern in Pacifica went well. We were first up at 8pm and the place was packed. We got good levels w/o a sound check - just spy-rocked from the downbeat. With so many people filling the Tavern, we were loud - but in a good way. Had my Ashdown 550 Spyder Gain & Master at 12:00 and it once again gave me a really phat chocolatey tone with just enough hair to be expressive. And my '66 J never lets me down - it has been my BG bass from the start.
Everyone was engaged and there was a good vibe in the air. Outside it was clear but cold and windy - we're getting another series of big storms next week. We played well and I think Skyfall was the favorite - you can always tell when an audience really likes a song because they start clapping as it's ending. (as compared to waiting until it's ended) Cherie is Bond Girl - all we need to do is support her dynamically. Sometimes it takes years to get all the right elements to be successful. With our new drummer Phil and Cheries re-energized re-entry into performing - we're a force to contend with and better than ever!
There was a 'live stream' but don't know if there'll be pics. If they turn up, I post something. One comment was that we "looked and sounded professional" ... being a serious amateur - I'll take that!

I'd leave it like that. Looks great and J pickup in that position sounds very good.

Used it on a recording straight away and found out why I usually go for my Custom Stingray bass. Because that Rick doesn't lay nicely in a mix, it's very woofy on the neck pickup and very snarly with the bridge pickup. It plays really well, but it's not a good bass for recording.

I am loving the pickups in the NR. Along with the Traynor amp, it is the sound I have been searching for. Others have been close (perfect is the enemy of good) including the Casady and the TBird CP, but I think this bass ends my buying of basses.*
* I'm probably wrong about that. But for now...
That looks very interesting. A very Geddy solution - a clean channel and a dirty channel. With HPF and LPF. That would be very useful...After all my blender and low pass filter experiments I found a pedal that would do it all:
https://www.broughtonaudio.com/product-page/filter-fx-loop
Very handy. The HPF in the effect loop (affects the signal before the effect) could come handy with the 12-string bass.
Of course it's out of stock. Oh well.
Maybe somebody will trade his/hers to a one hot overdrive pedal that is "the s*!t" at the moment...
If it doesn't perform correctly do you return it for warranty work?

Yeah, compared to a Burger King "Whopper" Mickey Dee's doesn't really make Burgers.Cool.
Not sure about the hamburgers though.
Everyone to their own 'bag'(see what I did there?), but I can't stand BK's overcooked, gamy tasting burgers. In fact, I've totally given up on chain outlet burgers-except Checker's.
EDIT: also known as "Rally's". Both have great seasoned fries.

Saw a Tbird on Facebook market place that was clearly a CP. Reasonable price, great condition, including the triangular case that will also fit a VP. I noticed he advertised it as Probucker 760 pickups. Showed him privately that they were TB+ but he told me I didn't know what I was talking about as the pickups were Gibson Probucker 760, not Epiphone Probucker 760. OK, one more idiot on Facebook.

Thanks Marshall - I spent many years between being in short-lived bands and performing live high & dry, frustrated not connecting - so I am finally realizing my 'dream' and it makes me very happy. The best part of it compared to the monk-like life as a studio-based (visual) artist is I get to be creative with other creative people. Maybe if I would have figured that out earlier in my life... nah, that's history - it's all good!
With a firm grip. My return from India retox mealLooks yummy - but how does one eat something shaped like that!

The only one I occasional eat is In & Out burgers. And only on road trips to SoCal needing to gas-up and get something predictable but decent to eat. Otherwise - I'll pass on the Big Mac attack...
