I could ask for some in that shape. Would reverse or NR taste better. I refuse to have them in Pelham Blue even though the rice was close to that the other day.

I can't remember... is that an AllParts J neck on a '70s P body?

One of three - sounds familiar... speaking of which, I recently revisited a Guitar Player (?) article about Overend Watts's white T-bird II and they said it was a '63. If so, one of only 3 from what I've read. His, my stollen one, and one other. I am aware that that 'one other' is owned by someone on the T-bird Facebook page. So if all that is true - mine is the only one not accounted for. It either is out there somewhere or suffered a broken hs and parted out. I'll probably never know.

That's the thing - my fingers are at the first fret, never anywhere close to the zero-fret. Not likely to slide that direction.

Young generally and to some extent equals dumb, if nothing else simply from a lack of experience. We've all been there and have many things we would do differently.* The problem is when young (30s and under), it seems grasping just how much life experience, let alone knowledge, you don't have is really a tough concept to grasp.
*And a number we would do again anyway!
I need a moment to gather myself......
Have mercy--that looks good. And you can actually work on the engine.Did you need a cigarette also?
Yes, yes I do....

You'll get to play that bass, loud, through my tube amp soon!
Being excited is an understatement.
Only elephants and trees have trunks he he
Since the car thing is happening here I thought I would post a pic of my Mondello Olds 361. Joe built this for me personally almost 24 years ago. It's not much by today's standards but without any fancy parts it's 420/450 on paper. #7 heads bracket ported by Joe with back cut 1 piece valves, block decked 100 thou , intake ported by me and cut 100 to fit block. .512 lift Engle cam. 425 / 4.125 pistons at 9.5 compression , 403 race prepped rods with ARP bolts. Race prepped 350 crank. 7qt oil pan , double roller timing chain , everything balanced and blueprinted in full. Took over a year to build. I miss Joe he was a awesome person. Currently finishing up the front end upgrade/rebuild. A lot of UMI suspension parts. Body mounts upgraded to poly. Pro tour sway bar , front frame stiffener , etc. as far as you can go before going coil overs.photo of engine has factory upper control arms. Those were swapped for UMI uppers due to positive camber issue after taller ball joints were installed. Ended up with .50 lower and .50 upper ball joints and UMI upper control arms
