That's where I learned about the plug issue. Looked there before I started troubleshooting on my end and found that. Started there and lo and behold....

Don't you guys eat Vegemite?...
Works good for road paving patches too.Don't you guys eat Vegemite?...
Thanks. Can’t wait to have the body painted (Butterscotch Blonde) and the pickguard completed (Gloss Black) so I can put it all together and start playing it. It has all the potential to be my goto Tbird if all comes out alright.
Thx Chuck. I need to do an up to date group photo shoot, that black BaCH NR II on the right has been replaced with a Daphne Blue BaCH IV (scheduled for a pup change).sweet collection George…
That’s just the color of the raw wood in the pic (actually it’s more orange than shown). The pickguard in the pic is just a paper template, the final will be gloss black with a unique Fender/Gibson inspired logo that Irv is going to try to pull off for me.
If Pat Wilkins agrees, the bass body will end up Butterscotch Blonde in a couple of months. It has beautiful grain, so I’d hate to hide it but I am concerned that mahogany will throw an orange hue on the butterscotch finish if allowed to show through. If so it’ll just be butterscotch with maybe a white undercoat. The goal is to stick with an iconic Fender color on this bird, so a three tone Fender 1970’s era sunburst is always an option as is Sea Foam or Surf Green. Antigua burst is iconic Fender but I just don’t feel the love for that color. Mary Kay trans white would be cool, but again that orange hue in mahogany might make the whole thing look more like an orange cream-cicle. And whatever I do it has to color coordinate with a vintage tint Fender maple/maple neck. I’ll be looking for Pats guidance on this one.

I actually like that better than that shaging nuttella poopie, that ***** shaging nasty, sweet chocolate diarrhea…
give me peanut butter anytime
what did I type that got ***** out?
My firebird was a blast from accelerating from 0-100 MPH. Then it was frightening!
Car designs have come a long way since then. My 1965 Mustang was also a blast from 0-100mph and a white knuckle floater at anything above that. I’d guess top speed of that Mustang was probably only about 120mph (had the 289 HiPo engine, around 270hp in a very light car). Won many a light to light race in that car. Many of the 350cuin cars I went up against could give it a good run for the money, some faster, many slower, but pretty much anything less than a 350 was no problem at all to beat in light to light racing (yes, the stupid things we did on Friday nights in the late 1970’s).
By comparison, my 1997 Porsche 911 gets to 100mph much much faster and then just hunkers down in a full squat as it climbs well over 120mph, zero float, perfectly planted. Top speed is over 170mph in the 911 IIRC, never had it near that, just about 130mph, and it behaved perfectly.
You want pee your pants car ride, try 110 in a K car convertible on the Bee Line Highway. Inverted ground effects.
I don’t think I’ve seen you play a basic Epi IV before.
And he lived to tell about it. Turbo?
I wouldn’t either. I’m too much the purist. Potatoes and a little salt.
Stupid is as stupid does. Don’t recall if NA or not.
Hey @Miles_ONeal. A TB’er had his MESA stolen in Austin. He had good things to say about a store there. Do you know it? Anyway, be on the lookout for the amp. Hope he gets it back. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/mesa-subway-d-800-stolen-replacement-bought.1647204/
