A meter is a bit longer than a yard, a liter is a tad more than a quart. This is slightly heavier than that, and around is generally closer than near. Well, depending on where you stand.
The left-handed MIM Jazz I had since 2004 or so. Spent many years in the back of my closet.
You are correct! 1.094 yards to a meter.
I installed a Seymour Duncan "Hawkbucker" (bucker) pu in my '64 T-bird II in'86 or '87. It's rocked from day1. (it was made with T-birds in mind) I know they do many types/varieties, but as far as a great pu company - they are for sure!
No doubt's about Duncan in general. I have 4 basses with Duncan preamps and an SPB3 slated for a fretless shaved P project, don't think I have any Duncan pickups in any basses currently, might have one in a guitar, though most of my Humbucker upgrades were dimarzio.
I just hadn't heard much talk of them in bird land since I have been here. Good to know they are a good option, probably more reasonably priced than lull lollar and.thunderbucker
A metre is a unit of measure, and a meter is a unit for measuring units of measure!
Glad we got that cleared up.
So then what's a tad?
A tad more than a smidgeon.

I used a Car2Go to get the Thunderbird back from the luthier. The case could not have fit more snugly in the Smart car. Back hatch to dashboard.

case pics? we want bass pics!
The hardshell case certainly is! What a nightmare to lug around. Gator ProGo for the win!
This isn’t the RNR. Just the “regular” back from a setup cleanup and a little fretwork.
I was getting excited for you... Jets are now cooling.
Hi just in for a number please!

Photo please ... then prepare thyself for the ritual with the wet lettuce and the tightly furled umbrella.
Do I get to use the fly swatter this time, or am I stuck with the egg beater again?
It amuses me to no end that when Canada went metric in the 70s, it was decided that a Canadian football field would be changed from 100 yards to 100 metres. The Canadian football league then also decided to continue to measure in yards, so the field is 110 yards long with a 55 yard line in the center.
Is it umbrella season already? I really like the pith helmet summer version.
