One of our guitarists had one(it died-couldn't be repaired). He used for a lot things including the organ part on "Whiter Shade of Pale", "Time is Tight", some blues things; often when other guitarist soloed.

E...good turnout, Christmas party...keyboardist says "bet you ten bucks we don't play 30% of the stuff on the song list....he was right...good times
Nice! Pretty fat sound coming from the VP!
What's the E?
Yikes! I've been doing diagrams for presentations at work, and we are encouraged to use Copilot, so I tried it....with a similar level of success.
Looks like a Pex piping and Sharkbite fitting installation to me. Pex is pretty freeze friendly, unlike copper it will expand vs burst when freezing. Pex has some advantages and disadvantages over copper. Generally speaking, if you live in a winter freeze area and have exposed or easy access piping in the basement or crawl space you might want to use Pex, or if you have water lines inside an exterior wall.
It’s cheaper to install, very easy to fix or replace and protects against uninsulated space and pipe freeze concerns. I wouldn’t use it in difficult areas to access (inside of interior walls or under floors or concrete slab) because the life expectancy is about half that of copper. The jury is still out on the effects of micro plastics on human health, so if your concerned about that then you should stick to copper.
I do find the elbow terminating at a floor joist puzzling. Not a normal or recommended penetration point at all, and not a standard method of bracing. Looks like someone was being paid by the hour to install pipe. It does offer a great dead leg situation for debris and crud to build up in, not a good piping technique.

It works better for guitar than bass as the low frequencies tend to overdrive the circuit. I couple it with an equalizer which makes using it for bass manageable. Determining which of the 9 settings works best depends on the bass, amp & room. BG has flirted with Green Onions in rehearsals and it works good (bass) for that.
ask John, he knows...
I haven’t put a meter on my bicentennial bird yet so I don’t know what the measured PU output is, but the audible output on mine is massive.
I play most of my passive Tbirds at a neck volume around 8 with bridge and tone knobs set at 5 or less, the ‘79 bird has to be dialed all the way down to a 2 or less on the both volumes and 5 or less on tone to achieve the same level of sound from the amp. If I max the ‘79 volume it’s mind blowing (and eventually speaker blowing as well). I will also note that the Bi is super expressive, soft touch and low volume can sound sweet as sugar but dig in even when set at low volume and it’s a raging beast.
Look at those flying fingers! Great playing Glen.
I am at this point reduced to asking exactly what benefit we expect to see from replacing dumb people with even dumber non-people.
Faster mistakes, apparently, is the goal.

I'm just a bag of meat with a little electricity running thru me......
I have the B9 and for me there's only one or two useable settings. It also creates too much noise on the pedalboard even when it's not on.
That's a huge topic. As a tool made available to me, I am open to trying it out.
Technical diagrams? It just generates gobbledy-gook.
It does speed up searching through the company SharePoint for specific info.
I have also used it to summarize a brochures into a few paragraphs. I always need to edit the result, but it does save time.
It doesnt make sense because it's not a photo.
gotta double check everything...
Good point. This whole CGI and AI thing is getting out of hand. At first glance it’s difficult to tell what’s real and what isn’t. As the technology becomes even more sophisticated it’ll likely be impossible to tell what’s real and what’s fake.
