Too much sugar is definitely a thing for me, being blessed with type 2 diabeedus since 2012. If I knew I was gonna love this long (51 today) I would have kept up with the maintenance better!

You loving long time ?

Maple Syrup, please!

Coming right up!

Your truck? How did you do that?

A truck makes more sounds than you might think...or at least that’s what I’m finding out

My guess: Turn signals, door/tailgate closing, keys, locking horn, I can't pinpoint the alien noises though.

All of those things! The alien noises came from the horn

Nice! Can't wait to hear the SS RS66 compared to that in the same scenario.

Pretty curious myself!

Nice! Thanks for posting.
I'm listening on an iPad so not really a good practice, but the Roto nickels sounded brighter than I thought they would. Did you have your tone knob all the way up?
I'll try to play the clip through my bass cab later tonight.

I always have the tone knob all the way up! Just looked at my pre and in fact, high mids and treble were slightly boosted. Oops :/

Sure we'll all blather about more sh!te in a few hours. T'ra.

Thanks Mike, that will easily keep me amused for several hours.

Looks a lot like our youngest actually.

Removed the TRC on the new Bird to check the lie of the land. The truss rod nut is a 'bullet' type. What tool do I need for adjusting it?

Nice background paper!

Hmmm, the next question is 5/16" or 8mm?

if Gibson 5/16 if Epi 8 mm

 

[vandoorn]

if Gibson 5/16 if Epi 8 mm

I think...

I think...

The serial number and being 'Orville by Gibson' indicates it has Gibson parts, so assume it will be US sizing.

And 8mm is really very near in size to its nonmetric sister
