Happy Birthday from the Wet Coast! Have a good one!

Thank you my brother.
Look forward to seeing you at next years GTG Irv.

Speaking of Midnight Oil and Thunderbirds.

Always loved these guys.

Would love to have a go on that bass with them 3 pickups... Bet it sounds killer!

It does. Be jealous of all the GTG folks that got to play it

Whao!!!!! And F yeah!

Just make sure to go to the website and sign up for Part A. Don’t worry about the others so long as you have other coverage for now. Part A is crucial. Saved me thousands when I broke my ankle and Anthem refused to pay for one of my days in the hospital.

Yes, I know, and I will.

Thank you Andy!

Happy B-day Jeff - noted on my calendar so next year I'll know! Do something fun today.

@GBassNorth (George) has inspired me to do this.
It’s with my tech, taking a bit longer due to his mom passing away.

Many thanks Sir Geo.

Off to a country western garage band jam with a few friends at noon. Haven’t played with a band in over a year, should be fun. We’re all hacks, but there’ll be plenty to drink, so we should be sounding pretty good (to our ears) after a few shots. Heaven help the neighbors!

Burn it up!

OK, since alcohol is going to be involved maybe I should just say have a great time and be careful!

Awesome! I got contacted yesterday about a Sabbath/Ozzy tribute here. Don't know if it will pan out, but if if it does, I might build a P like that.

For me it works great, both Geezer and Daisley played stripped natural 60s Precisions, kill two birds with one stone.

You should wire it like George wired his - really great tone control.

Speaking of Midnight Oil and Thunderbirds.
The late Bones Hillman killing it with reverse Tbird and a pick.

One of the few bands of the late 80s and 90s worth listening to. Scream in Blue Live is just amazing.

 

[RedVee]

Uh oh, cats outta the bag.
You guys are the best.
Kind of a milestone today for me.
Let’s just hope not a kidney stone.

Yes, happy birthday Jeff

Im going V/V/V, with a master tone control via a concentric pot, keeping it as simple as possible.

Trying to recall who it is who's really into Pelham Blue - is it @MCF ? This may not be a Thunderbird but it's def very cool indeed

Interesting - I checked my basses to compare that quarter at the 12th fret and only two touch the string. I never felt the action on any of them was too high, but now I'll need to see if I can lower them w/o buzzing.
