Mike was kind enough to send me a tracing of his NR pickguard. I did a quick copy and cut out of paper to see how it looks on the Bach.

It looks pretty good, but it also looks like some idiot wrote stuff on it.Mike was kind enough to send me a tracing of his NR pickguard. I did a quick copy and cut out of paper to see how it looks on the Bach.

That must be true. Happy Birthday Marshall. Cheers!
Oh wow, didn't know......Uh, no. I think the bass slot is occupied. By a guy who toured the world with Government Mule. But I will work on getting into the scene. I am learning just how many players there are up here. It is pretty much under the radar. People live here to enjoy anonymity and privacy.
Almost done getting the new interface connected and putting my rack together. The PF50T, D800+ and Pod are all on separate inputs of the interface, so I don’t need to swap cords to change.

A happy belated Bday good sir
They're set neck, I had one and it was okay, not great. Build quality was fine, the pickups were a bit bland, the headstock was just stupid big, kinda like a VP but wider - and since the body is light it really did want to dive a bit. It had a notable dead spot at Fs on the E string which TBH I found odd and not fixable, I did put some Nickel covers I got from Mike Lull on the pickups after I skinned the black plastic off of them.
Loud and live with it a long time ago.
Mine weighs in at 11.79 pounds.
Was listening to some Big Head Todd. They have a recent song, THUNDERBIRD!
Also running daisy-chained combos. I've had a lot of amps, but this actually works really well for meRandom, bird-related thoughts on this week:
I usually just practice at home through one Rumble 200 but this week I daisy chained two like I usually play live. I forgot what a difference using two makes even here. Much more fun.
The Grecos and Thunderbucker VP are still vying for first place with the CP close behind. It’s a good thing I don’t have our Queen’s collection or I’d gridlock! (That’s how I console myself.)
We’re doing Tom Petty’s “Room at the Top” tomorrow at church. Fun song!
thanks for the track!Greetings from skitrails!

10 km done today. I need a nap...
I also have been working on my music (much more than skiing...) and did this a few days ago. It's not part of the album but sort of gives away the idea of what it's going to sound like (*ss-backwards style promoting, I know). 75% made from loops, looped and not looped stuff played by me.
The bass is the new fretless.

Had no idea any other human had heard of The Alarm lol, loved that band. U2 stole all the oxygen out of their room i'm afraid.....Short and sweet for us tonight @ Events Archive - Aurora Borealis - Shoreline, WA
