He’s trying to make his ‘70’s Jazz bass have ‘60’s Jazz bass spacing.

…oh, wait, wrong club.

He's turning it into a Jazz Bass?

I'd like to speak to the manager.

we left-handers have been ignored and disenfranchised our whole lives, and now you have the added ignominy of the slanderous use of your good name on top of that. I was constantly called Donald Duck when I kid, but you have it worse now. I'll sign any petition you create. Even contribute to a go fund me cause to right this wrong. Of course, if you ever have a bad day and someone calls you a Ken, you can have some fun with it I suppose.

K'nough the rapper. I like it.

K'nough the rapper. I like it.

Actually, my rap name would be Kenny G Money.

Does that mean I can play any notes I want regardless of the chart? Wait, I do that already, just unintentionally.

Fred has forever been my default name for strangers, characters, anyone I needed a guy name for. Women might be Mary or Jane, but never Maryjane.

In h.s., we used Fred Gugg and Modine Gunch. These days I generally use Bob and Gertrude.

 

[GonePlaid]

We do this!

I played enuff in restaurant/lounges to know the differences between good and bad service and whether it was the kitchen or the server. Good gets extra tip money and an 'attaboy'; bad gets a "we're local and we won't be back again-and we'll be glad to let others know."

Lil' Kenny G Money might give you more street cred. But including money is definitely a good move. And your schtick could be wearing a large item like a Thunderbird around your neck. Wait.....

 

[WillyW]

my rapper name is Dune..

as in Dune yer mom...

 

[Gaolee]

Yup. Heard it about the 70s in the 80's, the 80s in the 90s, on and on.

Young people these days....!

Greetings from the North,

Had a 68 at the time Harold & Maude came out. Being young and dumb I was tempted to do a conversion to haul gear. Glad I did not

Yep on the ghost though, mu Orville shows where the 3 point was plugged, and my '89 easily shows the walnut laminated strips up the neck and on the headstock as they have dried at a different rate than the mahogany.

It may not even be drying. Different species of wood have different differential shrinkage rates. As a musical instrument goes through humidity cycles, the different species of wood will eventually be slightly different sizes no matter whether they were exactly the same before or not. I think it looks great as that happens on a small level, like the walnut and mahogany laminates do over time.

Or they coulda just bought a P1800 ES.

 

[Rezdog]

LOL

I eventually went the Volvo route for hauling. I currently have an XC70 T5.

My 92 isn't so pristine that I couldn't do something like this to it....

It would be a magnificent conversion, especially if it was a more interesting color.

I found a Corvette semi-truck cab for Mike!
