Porch wiring harnesses...for lighting?

Can we dork out on lighting, I'd love that!

One, I didn't know California ballots were all Spanish now.
Two, you might want to get out just in case the Inquisition Party throws an Inquisition Party. Sounds like it could get serious.
Three, I know some people who live in San Ramon. He's an architect consultant and his hobby is making wiring harness for older Porches.

California publishes voting and driving booklets in about 50 languages. Fortunately, this one is the real deal from Spain.

I know enough about lighting to be dangerous! Most of my house has Lutron lighting control.

Love Lutron!

I was working for an Electrical contractor when we did our reno, so I went for it.

I should have more than I do, just Caseta on my porch lights front and back.....

I’ve never tried driving Porches, but I would think they would be incredibly slow, unless they were part of a mobile home in transit on the highway.

That cab is another one of my "work in progress" projects.
It's currently stripped down to the wood, waiting for me to order some DuraTex for it. And some grill cloth.

It does sound good with the Peavey though

That is such an awesome rig Kara.
I’ve heard that combo and it just kills.

Backside lovin'

Clearly you (or someone) have been!

also, ahem!

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.

I was thinking plywood, metal, whatever’s handy. That’s what I’ve done before.

Did you say Allen Collins???

Indeed. But I’m a purist. While I own a copy of Southern by the Grace of God, I have not followed the post-crash version of Skynyrd. Other people are free to enjoy it as they will.

rehearsal spot we used had that exact same rig…..TB+ with RS66 sounded truly thunderous (can’t think of a better word) through that….

just another day in NoCal….

I had a chuckle reading that. Brightened my day. Thanks Geoff.

Yeah, we had glue eaters in school. Never understood them.

Did you try it? Much better than the Big Chief paper.

We try on the best coast. I’ve enjoyed my meetings with George and Kara. And meeting those who made it to the GTG last summer.

The upcoming GTG will be even better with about a dozen of us. One coming from NY, one from Vancouver, one from Arizona, two from Seattle, and probably seven or eight of us from CA. There’s still time for anyone else to join the fun, 08/04 to 08/06 in Hollister, CA (Chucky’s stomping grounds). Just say the word and we’ll fill you in on the particulars.

This is a special “motorcycle gang” as we’ve been referred to by some in the GP.

Take Dave for example. He didn’t start hanging here regularly until some months before the GTG last year. He showed and fit right in. He even brought beer. A few months ago, he saw a rare Studio TBird become available near him. He offered to check it out if anyone wanted him to. I jumped at his offer, it checked out, he made a stellar deal and took it home for me. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Irv did the same for Will with a bass that became available in Vancouver.
I’m not sure of the particulars about how it got across the border and down to Seattle. I’m sure it was all on the up and up.

And Veronica is bringing Will’s VP to the GTG for Dave who is buying it.

As soon as I broke my ankle, George reached out to see if I needed to ride up to the GTG with him and Andy, who he’s picking up at the SB airport. We’ll see how I’m doing in two weeks and decide.

This motorcycle gang is truly special.

Edit: And one from Texas!!! Sorry Miles. It has been a very long day.

No problem!

Call before you return. 50% of the time I’ve had Amazon returns they instructed me to just keep it and they’d send me a new item.

They said initiate the return online. The strings are $52.95 so I guess they were above their threshold?
