Any new photos of the Vette project?

Yeah, that's it. Willy style.

Edit: @Miles_ONeal Weird minds think a like.

Just finishing this one up. Pine body, nitro relic finish, Dunable T-Bird pickup, CTS pots, NOS PIO cap, switchcraft jack, Gotoh Resolite tuners. Still need to do a couple setup things, but it sounds killer and weighs UNDER 8lbs .

Looks great! More importantly, how are you feeling?

Wiped out currently. But I’m laying down and just took a pain killer, so I’ll be ok.

Then I’ll get back at it if I can. If not, then I’ll be lazy and rest.

It looks great, fine work there! Keep the other pickup options in mind, what value pots did you use?
Hope you're feeling better

I used the Ashdown ABM today with the NR. I left it mostly flat for the run through. Sounded good but the old Pressure Wounds from last week seemed to be lacking something. I had some SIT Power Wounds and slapped them on and they sounded better. Got to do a little EQing, but not much. Really sounded fine but did a little just to see what improvements could be had. Really nice sounding. Sounded good enough I mainly EQed out of curiosity not necessity. Great tone and way more power than I need. I didn't think I was any more loud than normal, but my wife said she could hear me well during the run through and the service. A fluke or it projects really well. Was really hoping it would make me sound and play like Chuck. Head must be somewhat faulty. Mine, not the amp.

Here’s one that I did in Burgundy Mist Nitro.
Not enough play time to relic.
Cheers.

Have fun with it. Do it in minor.

I guess our deal is off now.... But that's fantastic if was so simple. Most of the time is seems things aren't that easy to fix. Great news. Other than the no deal part.

Gotta get lucky once in a while.

How is it?

I know y'all have been waiting on pins and needles for these, so here we go. Recorded live at the Marco Polo Hotel in Miami Beach in 1982/83(?). Video is meh-it's what the camcorder 'captured'; audio is 'OK', again what the camcorder 'heard'. They're kinda long-we were keeping the dancers on the floor, which is what we were paid to do.
First up: "Just the Way You Are"-Scott, lead vocal; George-trumpet, string synth, harmonies; Ken-drums; Me-67NR, alto sax, harmonies

Next up: "Celebration"(note changes)[Scott to guitar; George to keys],4 part harmony

And: "Johnny B. Goode"-me on lead vocal(can't sing or play it this fast anymore)

Love every bit of this.
You guys were so on it!

Stay tuned. Haven't tried it yet. This is one of a handful of Trillium beers a friend gave me.

Nothing new, bean working on and driving the jeep mostly, once it’s as reliable as the ford and the vette, I go to get the rambler to the same level.

Then maybe paint on the chevette…
