Wondering if @hairypete1138 has snuck out to play his VP yet. I know I woulda. Then again, I don’t work for a living :/
Why is it under wraps? Is it the significant other that doesn't know yet?

Thought he said he had to wait until after work...wasn’t that right?
It's 19.55 in Blighty, work should be over for the day. Rock on.

Just started heating up the shop for what some might consider work. Don’t seem like work. Just goofin around on fun projects. Got a bunch of cabs to get done, but the weather ain’t been my friend, even with heaters in the shop, too much cold air drifting around can make things dicey.
Hey guys, has anyone here swapped out TB plus pickups with EMGs? If you did were they drop in? Looking at the EMG TB series like the TBDC, TBP, and/ or TBJ.
Thanks in advance

Years blowing by doesn't mean retirement is coming. Just saying. I'm there with Mark - retirement will mean a box. Or, maybe a launch into the ocean by trebuchet. That seems more fitting and doesn't take up otherwise useful land. No cannon. I'm not Hunter Thompson.
No steady reggae gig this summer, bagged out of the Newport hotel weekends. Just too much of a grind, I always go home too tired, hungry and broke- we don't get paid till a day or so later. Bandleader was disappointed, but you gotta have heart for what you do. So I'm looking for a steady gig now. Kinda hope I run into something more in the rock n roll vein...

That's the way it goes. If it's a grind, and it's a poorly paying grind, why do it?
Squirrel suit and a Cessna, shooting some hole in a rock. Hell, maybe I'll make it!?
Then what am I gonna do...
I'm no expert on any of this, but why EMG's? out of curiosity.
For what I play they tend to give me the growl I like. Currently one of my main players is a Spectorbird with EMGs and a custom preamp. Was thinking of doing a mod to an Epi-bird so they sound similar.
Ok, got it. Thunderbuckers are a good choice as well. But passive.
Which Epi do you have?

I love Sebadoh. I think you’ll hear some of that in the Wild White stuff on Saturday. But I thought you can’t be in a band.
