There's no S/N, so it's probably been repaired. But there it is. He said it was in Japan somewhere. I sure hope he's onto it.

True Temperament frets are curved in a calculated way so each note is in tune with each other across the fretboard. True Temperament's squiggly frets overcome the intonation limitations of normal straight fret guitars.
It is Ken. He hasn’t checked into TB in months. I PM’ed him in case he does.
Again, if anyone knows how to reach him, please let him know.

Watching him gave me sympathetic whiplash.
I still sound lousy on guitar even when I’m in tune…
The NRL Women’s comp (NRLW) kicked off last weekend. They used an all female band in the promo ads. The band is called The Buoys. 
I’m guessing that pun doesn’t fly for you folk over in the US…

It was about that time, I think, but am not sure. Yeah, they were the first to being (some) electrified instruments into Bluegrass, add some rock, jazz, etc to the mix, at least on a national level. Hated by many, loved by those to really dug it and were amazed. Kind of like Hendrix in that people were thinking "What is this and who does this kind of thing" when they first heard them in the early 70s.
Yeah, I bet he hates seeing that now. in the late 80s/90s he was trying to look like MTV. We all have our regrets.

I remember wearing cargo pants & motorcycle-style jacket with a lot of zippers...
I remember in the late 60s early 70s for some unknown reason, wearing a bandana tied above one knee over my big bell, bell bottom paints.
Glad I can’t find any of the 70’s photos of my Fro. No more cultural appropriation for meThat was normal then. But did you have the hair?
A friend of mine is walking around in a neighboring country, Argentina.
I asked to look for Hipshot tuners in guitar center stores, he couldn't find them; wasn't even my intention to order this pickup, but since it's cheaper there, bring it to me!!!!
Ever since I got that pickup, I've been looking for an inexpensive bass to make mods, I finally found an Squier PB, probably 1994 (above photo taken by the seller, preparing shipment).
It's on the way; unassembled, because the local public post office does not accept boxes larger than 3.28ft (1m).
Estimated delivery: August 3rd.
I bet it arrives until friday; someone said "patience is a virtue".
