I think I would have a difficult going in those urinals. Stage fright among other things.
Heading home today, but rushed out to take this for Marshall. @MCF
I even wore the Tshirt especially for PK.

They really are a great value bass. I love mine but was unsure how standard it is, as it was a refurbished instrument.Ok, now I'm officially asking for membership

What’s space got to do with her, got to do with her?
My hippie day buds’ wedding weekend was great, albeit exhausting. It was a small (25?) gathering of friends and family (many of whom I had not met) that was nearly as cool as a Thunderbird Club GTG, but with even more food and drink. I took a bass and amp, guitar, and djembe, but they never even left my room. Things were that good. Now the bride and groom are taking a couple of weeks to meander to Oregon where they’ll drop their van off for a camper conversion, then fly to Europe for 5 weeks. Post-retirement weddings and honeymoons hit different.
The coming week feels like a Greco week.

That's nice but I play tone fully open always so I tend to remove em where I can haha. So I'll need stacked pots like the pope needs his peepee. I might just go 3x volume and add a selector switch later or something like that.
One thing I thougt about was maybe use one stacked pot for volume neck/bridge and one volume for middle and then a 3 way selector switch. but that's like 3x volume with extra steps haha
Hey does anyone have a tbird (gothic) pickguard STL file willing to share ?

As promised a quick video of my recently acquired 1995-98 Epiphone Nonreverse Thunderbird, a 7ender in Gibson clothing. 
Does anyone have a way to contact Ray @/\/\3phist0 ?
I tried a dm, but it says he’s maxed on messages in his inbox.
He was able to get some specific potentiometers (Tocos), and he sent me a link to where he bought them. I was able to purchase some and I’d like some more, but I can’t seem to find the place that would only sell a few. The sales rep for the actual company is talking lots of 100.

No. I’ve been wondering. He hasn’t checked in since he moved to Palm Desert. He was pretty active in a couple other groups so there are others likely trying to to reach him too. I’m hoping he surfaces soon so we can try to get him to the Santa Cruz GTG in August.
For the EBCF users,
I installed the strings, wiped with alcohol and have played them for a few hours the last couple of days.
Any info on how long it takes for the slightly sticky feeling to subside?

I think it might be more an issue with how your fingers react to cobalt. I have had EBCF on my CP and Dano for 5 years-ish and they till aren't quite as smooth as the SIT Power Flat.
Hmm. I never noticed a 'sticky feeling'. Or maybe what they replaced was sticky and the EBCFs felt "normal"?
Supposed to start raining, so good day to tidy up the B-15. A light polish and some tightening of the tube sockets. Since the tubes were out, the pins got a dose of Deoxit.
