Time to take out the Defibrillator!
Indeed, it seems so, and nows the time.

Correct!
But if I'm already mentally ill, then fixing that would make me normal.... and that's not a Thunderbird Club kinda fix....
Time to take out the Defibrillator!
Nobody feels intimidated by a defibrillator. Until you have a paddle on each temple.
Car battery and jumper cables seem a lot more intimidating.... we should figure out a way to combine the two for the next initiation!

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!

I have a better one than the regular electro-convulsive-therapy: Dip him in water while administering the shock treatment - Just one caveat though; remember to wear thick rubber gloves when using the defib. or you might experience a slight tingling sensation yourself...

That's exactly what I mentioned a few pages back - One paddle on each temple and you're ready to do electro-convulsive-therapy (ECT)
Why not just waterboard and ECT at the same time?
Ok, things are escalating to a very dangerous level. Michael is the only one qualified that can administer the procedure.

Practically the same...
Sounds more menacing than 'dipping in water'
Thanks all (@kat888 @JIO @GBassNorth) here is the bass I have been posting about:
Thanks all for your help. Sounds really good. The pickups are the $79.00 ebay ones from Korea. They are not Lollar's (what I have in my T-Bird) but the first go around bodes very well. The pickup placement gives it more of a P-Bass-on-Angel-Dust vibe.... Very in your face.
This is a stock 2011 Fender BlackTop Precision. I swapped in a Jazz neck (MIM) w/ Hipshot tuners. The pick ups dropped right in. No routing etc. I used some olld dense foam packing material to make spacers under the pickups. The rings are glued on. I cut the heads off some screws and glued them on for effect. I had to shave about 2mm of material from the pickguard so the neck pick up would fit. I used a utility knife and a file to get the job done.
This is what the fit Looked liked:
Total Cost: $705.00- $170 (sold the Precision neck on TB)= $535.00

Just got one of these:
Nice and portable for the initiation, and should be good for resetting the "ticker" a couple of times!
At this point in time Vince, the anesthetics should be kicking in, you won't feel a thing.
Perfect!!Just got one of these:

Everyone needs to reset the ticker, that's the secret to eternal youth!

I like that neck pup positioning.
Funny, I feel like I can fight a sabre tooth tiger... either the anesthetics already wore off, or you gave me the wrong stuff... My guess is the former.
You need something stronger i see.
