It's fun to check out a mix in the car even 'though it means I have to burn a CD-R (no bluetooth or anything modern in my vehicle).
And it's a T-Bird you might be hearing in that snippet of a song.

Thx. It was a challenge, but worth it. LOL - I’ve finally come to the conclusion that sausage fingers and little tiny wires in tight control cavities just isn’t a fun mix.
Earth shaking with flats. I’m thinking with La Bella tapes it would be a tone monster. Trying to find a 5 string set of tapes in a 36-34 fanned fret scale is the challenge. Supposedly Fret Nation can piece a set together for me. We’ll see.
She has freckles on her but, she’s pretty!
Oh you whippersnappers and your beer. Some of us old people haz the gout and cannot consume the beer.
They seem to be back at it at Fret Nation 100%. My recent order went out the next day and since I chose free USPS, they’ll probably be here tomorrow or Saturday. I like supporting a SoCal business whenever I can.Thx. It was a challenge, but worth it.

Just amputate your toes. Problem solved.
And ankles. It’ll be fun, they said. You can play pirate, they said.

I dunno. When you are drinking real beer, feeling juvenile, and hanging out around a bonfire, watching animals explode is kinda fun.

I figured you must have a whole set of tweezers, needle nose pliers, and hemostats to pull that off. Color me impressed for two reasons - you can do that, and you know how to do that.Thx.

If you had seen the process you’d have laughed your arse off. I looked like a mad scientist in an operating room. Because of the exceptionally tight fit I had to put all the components in place first, then cut the wires to the right lengths and solder about 30 connections. I had tape protecting the body finish in case any solder splattered, wearing lighted magnifying headgear and using my smallest solder tip and armed with alligator clips and needle nose pliers I painstakingly worked through all the connections. At times I had to take an educated guess as to which wire went where (no schematic and a few of the wire tags fell off). Took a couple hours to complete, but it worked on the first run, so I’m happy.
When I recreated the wiring for my BC Rich Eagle, I mounted all the components on a piece of pickguard material, wired it and then transferred it to the bass.If you had seen the process you’d have laughed your arse off.
