Surprisingly we didn’t get the the 124 Spyder, or if we did it was in small numbers and for a short period. I think they mustn’t have bothered with RHD. There are some here though, I’d guess more of the Alfa Spyder though that is still rare.
Nice. Looks really good in the pics from what I can see.
Yeah 94! That's it. That's the ticket!
Birthday hugs from a Tbird brother!
Good ideaI like where your head’s at.
Happy Birthday, btw.
Thanks everyone - have to keep reminding myself "If you're not getting older..."
There's an engineering fail! You would think it would be a dual action system so temperature alone wouldn't set it off.

Dec. 2012 = 2013 model?
Afaik, (model year) 2013 was the first year for the CP, and seems to be the only year with the same pickup spacing as the VP, very similar to the original T-birds.
edit: for some reason, when I try to post the website as a link, TB breaks it- so take out the space? and it works.....
I think she tells the story in Standing in the Shadows of Motown. She was pregnant at the time.
I rarely ask questions in the GP. If the gang here or in the other clubs I hang out in can’t answer, I can ask Jimmy M for Ampeg related stuff or Tom Bowlus for general stuff and get a thoughtful response. There are other good people as well. But I also use the ignore feature.I ask a question (very rarely) in the GP if I can't avoid it. Some are great, others see it as a place to show off what they think they know as they look for someone to be a target for their arrogance and gotcha answers. It's one of the many things I love about this club. I don't worry about asking what might be a foolish or (you should know that to others) question here because everyone is treated with respect and there is a sincere desire to be helpful. Everyone was more than tolerant and always tried to be helpful when I could not get my '06 to sound good to my ears. I would have been burned at the stake for sport elsewhere in the GP. The people are without a cut above. I do wish Willy would get some shoes, but this isn't a perfect world.
I’d call or email Lull customer service for advice.So I took my new-to-me Lull PT5 to its first gig, and as soon as I plugged it in, I noticed a lot of high-frequency buzz. It was not affected by touching the metal parts of the bass, or by reorienting the bass. It was coming from both pickups, so turning both pickups all the way down was quiet. In contrast, my backup bass (active Nordy) was totally silent in all settings through the same amp.
I didn't notice the buzz at home because it was much softer, but I guess with my amp cranked up (no PA support for a hard rock band) it was kind of shocking how loud the buzz was. Sadly, it meant I couldn't use my new Lull...
Any ideas what this might be coming from, and how to fix it? The bass is passive with a VVT control setup.

anyway you can try it with the same setup and volume levels at home? sounds like either you were picking up RF (cell phone, AM, data etc.) interference or (more likely) your setup was causing your amp to oscillate…..what kind of rig were you using? sometimes (believe it or not) you can tune an amp oscillation with the brand (quality) and length of the instrument cord…..were you going trough any pedals?…So I took my new-to-me Lull PT5 to its first gig, and as soon as I plugged it in, I noticed a lot of high-frequency buzz.
