How about some Rickenbacker love with some of my fave Canadians.



I have to say that I really am a huge fan of Fred Turner, he's got a great voice and is quite the bassist - still going too!
Props to Randy Bachmann too!

Coincidence? I was waiting for the guitarist to set up last night, plugged in my 4003 copy, and started playing the riff to Not Fragile. It just popped into my head.
 
I cover mine...leaves this hot layer (about 2' thick) on top.....trippy diving in through that and on to the cooler water
I'll be going into Puget Sound next month for a dive. It has been hot here, for here, and it will stay that way for at least another month or two. Puget Sound is cold and stays cold, but I wonder if there will be a warm layer near the surface. I hadn't thought of it, but now I'll be looking to see if that's a phenomenon in open water.

And I already consider it hot, as I'm not the biggest fan of heat.
And I keep imagining your reports of even higher temps :eek::dead:
 
I only made it out go the coast when living there, kick myself for not having gone east…
Make the trip next year if the GTG is up here. It's absolutely worthwhile going east over the mountains. Central Washington is different from northeast Washington which is different from southeast Washington. Going down through central and eastern Oregon is more of the same, but still worthwhile. I'm pretty sure you could spend your life exploring Washington and never run out of discoveries. The same is also true of other states. Good thing we aren't stuck in just one state or even country.
 
Any drummers in the house?

Hmmm... I don't think I'll be doing that to my cymbals until they crack. Which I sure hope they don't do. A friend who is a dedicated drummer had old copper kettle drums as planters in his back yard. I'm not sure where you find kettle drums that don't cost a fortune, working or not, to do that with, but they sure made beautiful planters.
 
Yeah, I just figured that, there are many places on this planet that get hotter than the Sonoran Desert .....

And the idea that Boeing wouldn't have included test results for every conceivable scenario "world wide" seemed a bit odd to me.
Ah. yes, I agree. It surprises me, too.

I only saw them once, pretty early on, before "Not Fragile" at Seattle Center if I recall.
 
The IV doesn't seem like such a great deal when you can find CPs and VPs in good condition for around that same price.
Maybe so. But getting those kind of deals on a CP or VP are the exception anymore rather than the rule. Although there have been some great deals for them recently. Anyway, the basic Epi IV is the best new sub $500 bass on the market right now.
