Right! They also did a Mockingbird body for a while.
Warmoth stuff is nice. I find the steel bars in the neck a little heavy, but they're super stable.

...you mean... (it's a movie promo... so ok right?... ) You have to pronounce it "pooosey"

Interesting, I’ve tried two 2015 birds and they both seemed to operate this way. It’s not a real issue, you just need to be aware of the interaction between the volume and tone knobs when you start adjusting things.
Here’s a test you can run…
Pick a pickup, turn its volume to max and turn the other pickup off.
Now turn the tone knob.
You’ll probably hear very little tone change and no volume change.
It’s as if the volume knob is bypassing the tone knob.
Now turn the tone knob on full bright and turn the pickup volume knob to 7.
Note the volume level.
With that pickup volume set at 7 turn the tone knob down to zero.
You’ll probably hear a significant drop in volume.
It’s as if the tone knob is overriding the volume knob.
I’d be very interested in your results, maybe you’ve got one that’s wired different or has different pots in it.
It’s Gibson, so who knows.
Wait. Is there another way to pronounce "Galore"?

Wise move. It would have made you do this.
It's all a preference, but I always liked my beer to taste like beer, Bourbon to taste like Bourbon, etc. I didn't need fruit in my beer or liquid candy in my Bourbon. I never wanted it to taste like something else I liked. I'm the same with ice creams. I like coffee, but don't want my ice cream to taste like it. Weird, I know.
Yep, totally agreed!

so easy to work with, I placed my order on the phone with a very knowledgeable and competent sales dude (Spike?) and he told me that they custom build to order and it took about 4 months….sure enough it came in when they said it would…..my first Warmoth build and can’t say enough how impressed I am with the service, quality and pricing from this outfit…..this is after all an all custom build and coming in at way under 2k (Made in USA) is very commendable for what I’m getting……wish I would have pulled the trigger before….

Stanley Sheldon special?
That, and I remember your stories. Way before I even played bass, I remember seeing pictures of him with his threatless. I thought that big chunk of maple Fred board just looked SOOOO cool cool........dammit alexa. fret board, fretless....
I built a Warmoth Mockingbird. I’ll have to look for the finished pictures..but for now…
Geoff is like and encyclopedia, both informative and interesting. I would love to go to an Aussie car show with him.
That is going to be one mean fretless.
I just found out about this place, I'm going to plan a group SXS ride there, it's by Zion National Park.
Had a fun gig last night with the band.
Windy but no rain (thankfully).
Happy midsummer to everyone!

I think that will fit in my wife's car...better gas mileage than the truck. We'll see if she hands me the keys. See you in a couple hours.

May sound strange but I do enjoy a drive through the desert, never been to southern Utah, that looks fascinating!
