Y'all need to do a pic together.
That's what Google translate gave me as well. If Chuck wasn't such a nice person I would think he was telling Dave to just "stick it!"An AI told me the Spanish phrase "metelo en todos los agujeros hasta que te guste uno" translates to English as "put it in all the holes until you like one." Please note that this phrase may have different contextual meanings depending on the situation in which it is used.
But you don't have a green one!
One of my absolute dreams is to be able to get into a muscle car.
Not easy in France...
I really like it too, I think she has a crazy tone, and the Tbird in cream finish !!!!
She also has a very nice collection of TbirdsI also really liked Jared Followill of Kings of Leon, back when he still played Thunderbird (now he'd given it up for a Jazz Bass
).Today is another day for me, I just unpacked this :
I sold the Orange Terror Bass because I didn't connect with the Tbirds sound; it really lacked clarity as if there were a persistent veil... and she was too powerful for my home( Into 4 ohms, it must be terrorfull.)
That's why I bought this modest Venture V3, It already pairs much better with my SVT410HE than the Orange.
Yes, I was going to ask about that. I don't think I've seen one. Might have in a documentary at some point.
If I ever make it that way, that--and your place are on the must see list!
Those heads look interesting. I likely need t not play one as I would want one.One of my absolute dreams is to be able to get into a muscle car.

Reverse mortgage?
All this car talk has me thinking about applying some Bore Oil to to my fretboard... 
Q-tip is the way you guys do that? A little dab on/wait/wipe off action? I can't imagine it's a very particular process.

Tried Elixier NPS on this bass last night. As previously mentioned, never tried these and got a great deal, so seemed like a good time. I have to admit they sound as good as any string I've had on that bass. GHS Pressurewounds were on it for years, and for a reason.
Not as bright as typical NPS (like Boomers or SITs), but should stay this bright for a long time, unlike NPS strings. But not dull either. A touch of treble will easily give them a little more top end if wanted. They didn't feel weird under the fingers at all--just different--but not in a bad way. The way people mostly hate and some love them I assumed I would not care for them but was liking what I was hearing with one or both pickups. Good lows, not dark or muddy, very nice and full mids, slightly subdubed highs. Sounded great with either the Ampeg tube head or Ashdown.

I have never used that (on fret boards anyway). Any oil I use I wipe on lightly till it looks conditioned. When I first get something that is really dry, I will put it on more heavily but still never really leave much on it very long. I put some on, let soak in, and add more if needed. Just what I tend to do. I've even used baby oil a few times with just fine results and no problems. And it's cheap--and doesn't stink.All this car talk has me thinking about applying some Bore Oil to to my fretboard...

I haven’t tried bore oil; just Music Nomad’s F1 and the Fender branded stuff. I recall reading sometime ago that bore oil works, especially when you want to darken a board. Just haven’t got around to trying it.All this car talk has me thinking about applying some Bore Oil to to my fretboard...

Let us know what you think. But yeah, a little dab should do it.

I have been using the music nomad fretboard oil. Lately I have had some new to me older basses and they appeared rather dry. I mostly apply somewhat heavily and let it soak in for hours. The most recent acquisition is a 1978 Fender P-Bass neck with rosewood board. I applied the oil heavily and let it sit for a few hours, then without wiping, applied more as it soaked in. Then left it sit for a week. By the next weekend it had mostly all absorbed and I just wiped each space between the frets clean. After stringing it up, some more oil came up, and I just wiped it again. Now the dry reddish board is a rich dark brown and looks great.
I think baby oil is pretty much mineral oil. Makes sense.
I've had a few issues with wireless dropping out or not connecting, never wah wah sounds. It's usually because antennas from two different systems are too close together.
One guitarist uses wireless from his guitar to pedal board. He’s about 4’ away. Maybe it’s his fault.
That is very close to, if not the same, color as the ‘67 Charger my brother had. His looked like this one.
Yep. That’s the stuff Ive been using for years.
I like their care products. I also use the Fring fret polish. My current method is to start with fret erasers, then do a final polish with the Music Nomad’s stuff. Works great and the clean look lasts a pretty long time
