I have most of the parts to build a mild performance 1776 VW engine (air cooled) for my Ghia. I think I'm going to dive into that after the incoming Bach build.Same with us. I became a reluctant auto mechanic because of that. I got pretty good at it, pre YouTube. But now I don’t bother. I got the current Crosstrek in December. I haven’t even opened the hood (which has a nice dent, courtesy of a pine cone falling on it).
Yah, I have a local shop do the dirty-work these days. I am having the windscreen in the Element replaced in the next couple weeks and need to do rust-repair once they remove the cracked one, so I still do some stuff car-wise.Same with us.

I can do that boost trick with the bass selector/fx loop switch and the eq pedals.For tonight this will be the selection of gear:

Gibson (with Gibson re-isssue pickups) tuned Eb Standard.
‘74 Precision (with Lollars) tuned D Satandard.
Had to place a mini boost pedal in front of my compressor. When I switch to the P, I can quickly engage to boost to ensure the P will hit the compressor equally. Therefore I can switch basses without making any adjustments and have the volume be roughly the same.
Gonna be a fun night at the Hotel Utah!
Christian band?I can do that boost trick with the bass selector/fx loop switch and the eq pedals.
D Satandard - is that for black metal?
Looks rough.Current situation.
Well, of course.
That was not intentional, seriously, THAT was auto-correct. This band (Red Sun Ruins) is not as heavy as you might think. This band is blessed with good vocalists, with good vocal harmonies and strong songwriting. But yeah, we aim for heavy.I can do that boost trick with the bass selector/fx loop switch and the eq pedals.

It gets very close.Huh. I don’t know enough about this. You’re new Ashley doesn’t give you the same tone? I don’t have the time until I stop working to do a deep dive into learning the ins and outs. But I’m way happy with what I get from the preamps in the Carbine, the TT800, and the SVT.
Happy Father/Grandfather's day!!Father’s Day in Oz today.
