Let's put it in a blender and make fish smoothies !

He would be useless. Too many people. Which means his job/mission would be to visit and give/get affection.

He did used to love to be helpful and carry things around till he was about 13. When we would come in, if we had a bag of something we would give him one and he would love to carry it in the house or to where we were going. At times he would get a little carried away and just like wandering around carrying the bag. I've even got pic of him carrying a mop around. Not that he used it in any helpful way. He liked to go get the mail and carry that in as well.

Our 8 year old Aussie does the same thing. When I take the trash out I have to give her a scrap of paper to carry, when we come home from grocery shopping she has to help carry something in, and when we walk down the street to get the mail she gets to carry the junk mail home. An Aussie just isn’t happy unless they have a job to do.

I laughed uncontrollably at that when it first came out - it's still so damn funny, Akroyd was perfect and the lid almost flying off at first, can you imagine raw bass flying out!

Yikes! I never saw SNL back when it was 'good'. Band worked 6 nights/week. Over by the time I got home. Didn't have a VCR.

I'd prolly confuse the crap outta most guitarists on "Takin' Care". I sing it in A. C's too high for me. If they kicked it off in C, it'd be one helluva long intro 'cos I ain't about to bust my old vocal cords.

It came up on a list for an upcoming jam and I asked if we could play another BTO song. There are other hits:
Let it Roll down the Highway, You ain't seen nothing yet, Hold back the Water, 4 Wheel Drive, Blue Collar.

Blue Collar was the first song from BTO that I heard on Seattle radio - I think it's easily their best tune and probably mostly unknown, which is a shame. The guitar and bass are masterful.

I do have the svt-210av, I did have two but I had to toss one into a trade deal...

I don't know what it is but I have never had any larger than a 10" speaker, I should try a 15"

The Mesa 115 is the darling of the Subway line. Light and compact. Designed by the same guy, Andy Fields, who designed your head. There are a lot of Genz Benz owners using the lightweight Subway cabs.

That was the first thing I thought of when reading your comment. Had to post it. Those were the days. SLN was crazy funny. Pushed everybody's buttons and it was fantastic.

Up to that point no one had ever put a fish into a blender on TV, the early days of that show where genius.

I got the Bird earlier this year and it sat for awhile before I took it on as a project, getting the pickup wasn't easy and I doubt there will be any more unless I buy a Lull bass with them installed in it.

Wait, Lull doesn’t make the PUPs, can't you/we go direct to the source?

They don't offer them separately anymore, I discussed it with Spencer and it's his decision not to, which is a change from when Mike was alive. Were I faced with a choice today I'd certainly give Lollars a try, and I like what I got from the Seymour Duncan custom shop very much as well.

IIRC, somebody made the PUPs for Lull, I doubt they made them themselves....

That's correct, TV Jones and Seymour Duncan have made them, SD came in after TV Jones couldn't keep up with demand when Mike was selling them separately.

Leo would have had a blast with some of today’s software….not that he need it or something…,

I’m thinking they are a proprietary custom build.
