I like my coffee black (just like my metal)

Maybe get him something like this for his birthday.
Hamilton Beach Sure-crisp Air Fryer Toaster Oven Black - 31418 : Target

Thank you for the suggestion- I’ll double check his current inventory to make sure he hasn’t upgraded since my last visit-

One other thing I had gotten him was one of those SAD lights, given that we’re both subject to the winter blues-

That's not the danger...that comes from the moderator. Something happened long before me. Maybe an old timer can elucidate.

Update: what Irv said...

these days we just watch derby…

Thunderbird Thursday!!

What does the selector switch do?

 

[Matt Dean]

Dumb question of the day: I've been FSH player most of my life. I've also been doing most of my own adjustments on my guitars and on FSO, its pretty straight forward. However, I want to adjust the string height on my new (to me) Mike Lull NRT4 with an old school Gibson style two piece bridge and there are only two allen wrench capable bolts - one on each side. I think that all I should have to do is turn the bolt. Each bolt appears to be locked into place by a nut. Do I loosen the nut and then turn the bolt?

Thanks, Matt

Acronyms are my bane, even after a stint in the military-

Pray tell what is ‘FSH’ and ‘FSO’?

The accents on that Bird compliment each other in a very nice way! Bet it plays and sounds as good as it looks.

Some Lull experts will be chiming in shortly. From what I saw it is a Sweet looking Bass!

Matt, believe it or not, 16 years in and I've never touched mine - my best advice is to call the shop!
