What's for dinner in Seattle when I don't want to cook on a warm evening?

Johnny Utah IPA, a nice plate of salami, pickled rhubarb, sauerkraut, nuts, grapes and bread.

Main course was Caprese.....:drool:

The black one that I had and later sold did that for it's new owner. I will say that when I put the blue one together I doweled the two outside mounting holes using TiteBond and then installed one of Scott's tail pieces with ease.

Eh. Anyway there was a band in Miami who won a contest sponsored by Rolling Stone Magazine- for the Worst Bar Band in America. A local outfit put together to take on the challenge, "Scraping Teeth", won. And they worked very hard at it!
I was sitting in Churchill's Hideaway with my girlfriend one night, sipping a pint, and we caught a set. We caught it alright, like a handful of forks to the face, lol! Good God, it was awful. We sat there as long as we could, my poor girl was writhing and nearly in tears when I finally agreed to go...
A bass line bad enough to elicit discomfort, even despair- now that's an endeavor I'd have to give a nod to! :laugh::crying::cautious:

Ok I'm playing... But what an opportunity for a performance-art project. :D

I could be mistaken Marshall, but I’m thinking the BaCH bass is the one I had where I started to detect the slightest lift (less than the thickness of a credit card) so I installed oversize screws. I never actually took the tail off, I just removed tension and replaced one screw at a time. It was either that bass or one of my other hard tail basses, but I think it was that one. In any case the screws that are in it are at least as robust as the originals and maybe even more so.

As a rule of thumb I always do a paper slip test on all my hard tails when I do any maintenance on the bass (fret board conditioning, cleaning, truss adjustment, string changes…). If I can slip a piece of paper under the claw (under tension) it gets tightened down (not under tension) and checked again the next day. If it comes back, I typically up the screw size. Never had a pull out.

Good to know George. You may have mentioned that to me. But of course I don’t remember that.

Have I said how muck I love the Bach?

Never more than daily, but who’s counting. :D
It is a seriously nice bass, I’m just glad it went to a home where it will be properly cared for and appreciated. :thumbsup:

There's something cool about "an orange cat named Hank" that just jumps out. I think there's a funny country song in there somewhere. Country Punk, maybe? Can that be a thing?

She had an orange cat named Hank
You can take it to the bank
Darn cat he really stank
That's her orange cat named Hank

She's a lady who's so fine
I'm so happy that she's mine
It's love all the time
Except her orange cat named Hank

You know I'm happy and I'm happy quite a lot
But when I'm overjoyed, I pick up that little snot

She had an orange cat named Hank
You can take it to the bank
Darn cat he really stank
That's her orange cat named Hank.
