This is my Honda...

Excellent! Please tell us the bass, effects, etc.

The bass was the modded "Sinclair - Sklar" Jazz* with only the middle pickup on, hence the Ricish tone. The signal went through the Boss Line selector pedal that mixed low passed clean sound with the Digitech Tone Driver guitar overdrive, then through a SD compressor, Suncoast EQ and a cab sim (4x10").

Which has more top end, the 2021 NR or TB+?

2021 NR does - I'm comparing two set neck Birds, the Studio and the 2021.

The drummer is really good. Alan White would be flattered. And so is the bass player.

Thanks, I'll let him know. And he really is.
The bass was my passive stingray copy. Same kind of signal path except no overdrive and phaser added.

@GonePlaid
Panthers or Bruins?…

Well, by the time I saw this, Panthers-surprisingly.

I was always amazed by people at the DMV in California. I made an appointment and was in and out in 10 minutes the first time and 15 the second time. Meanwhile, there is a line of people without appointments around the outside of the building waiting to talk to someone, even though there are signs that say no waiting with an appointment; appointments available for today.

The mind boggles.

Entitled folk thinking it doesn't apply to them.

We go to the AAA Auto Club for most things, except for license renewals when they actually want to make sure you can see.

We can renew licenses at a machine at Publix(southeastern grocery chain for y'all leftcoasters).

This was my Honda, many, many mango seasons ago(stock pic). CB500-4. Loved it, but really hard to carry the TBird and amp on it(never tried).

Were they all named Karen?

When I was 11 my dad bought a brand new Honda Accord. It was probably the first car in the neighborhood where one didn't need to roll down the windows manually. Of course one of the neighbors said "those things won't work in the winter"...
Finland, late 80's.

Apparently terrifying to ride.

A 1000 cc V-twin with real torque, minimal suspension, a semi-rigid frame, and balsa wood brakes, all riding on early 1950s bias ply tube tires. What could possibly go wrong? The next bikes like that were Kawasaki 2-stroke widowmakers with notorious flexi-flyer frames about 20 years later.

I would still love to have a Vincent, if only to look at it and keep the oil drippings wiped up.

His Hells Angels book is different. Las Vegas is the Classic. I read Campaign Trail in college for a class. I barely remember it. But his Rolling Stone articles were classic. My favorite is the one when he covered Evil Knievel’s Snake River jump.

I read him in RS. And I read all about him in Doonesbury.

That’s what sissy bars are for!

 

[RedVee]

Needs more bass. And possibly cowbell.

ha! I ordered a cowbell and clamp for my wife’s drum set. I figured if she is learning to play classic rock… a cowbell is essential!

I've loved Neil since at least Harvest. Ya gotta love 'ol Neil.

For me, it was Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. It’s one of the albums I bought a second copy of because the first one wore out. I was already a Buffalo Springfield fan. Zuma was another one I wore out.

Sounds like she is quite the handful. We need to get you an “I married a drummer T-shirt.”

It sounds really good.

2021 NR does - I'm comparing two set neck Birds, the Studio and the 2021.

The ‘21 NR has more compared to the shorty which is the one I have with me right now. That’s not surprising given the neck pickup position on the shorty. I need to have the ‘21 and ‘13 together in the same place and AB them to make an accurate comparison. Which I haven’t really done. @BklynKen should come to the GTG and compare them!

 

[MCF]

See? See what Babicz bridges do to you?

Nah. It’s the adrenochrome.
