From what I understand, the “Captain” will meet with those who stop in, with an appointment. And he is reportedly a very nice and gracious guy.

Since the neck is in a high-raised state, it is set up with a high string height, and there is no sound clogging or fret rattling at present.
good to know...

If you all want me to. Last year I brought the ‘15, the ‘11 short scale and the ‘21 NR. I can bring the BaCH, my beloved LE Custom Shop Pelham Blue Epi, and anything else some someone may suggest. I have a lot of basses. Look at my profile.
That could be a killer project if that one speaker can get working again.
Any clue if those are CTS?
Not sure what Sunn used in that cab.

It makes a superior Manhattan, even better when you substitute Amoro for the Vermouth and add some orange bitters.
The NR gets the call for Sunday's last rehearsal before heading out to play next week.

Is the Amaro what makes it "black?"It makes a superior Manhattan, even better when you substitute Amoro for the Vermouth and add some orange bitters.

This was posted over in the Spector forum, but equally good info for those of you that might be considering dropping a set of EMG pickups in your bird or other bass…
My initial impulse is to say yes....in that condition, it's a good price for pretty much any version of that combo. The older '80s models especially, imo.
That being said, like all of the best Peaveys, they're quite heavy, because they're built like tanks.
If you need to move it a lot, I'd recommend:
I just grabbed that pic from the interwebs. But no, I don't have any and have never tasted it that I recall. Never was a Rye person. Good stuff you say?You're from KY and you have no Michter's.........
Whiskey
Tango

Lately my go-to bourbon is actually from Nevada. Smoke Wagon Uncut. Love it.
I was thinking the same thing, funny thing is, I’ve never considered myself an EMG guy. I’ve always been drawn to passive pickups and in some rare cases adding an active preamp. Out of my 15 Tbirds only two have preamps (Spector & FrankenGoth) all the rest are passive (aggressive). I might add a Nordstrand preamp to the pink Acaica bird to increase its tonal range, which is fairly limited right now. The Dingwall would probably benefit from a preamp as well to broaden its range.

Yes, that and the orange bitters, it's quite good!
It's a very good Rye for making a proper Manhattan
A lot of love for EMGs, while I probably prefer my passive basses having an active bass is certainly a good option for certain situations i.e. portable stages where you can easily get too boomy.
Same here on the EMG thing.
Always been a bit sterile sounding to me, i didn't hear that on that demo.
It's one thing i do like about those RipTides i took out of my Jbass.
They lack character, but, they work very well with whatever strings you use.
They seem to capture the true essence of them.
I tried 4 kinds before the SD Apollos went in there.
Ok, so that was a slight derail.

That's a special bass right there.
