They mention a 3way toggle and my Epi EB3 had a 3way rotary but my'68 Gibson EB3 had a 4way rotary. No explanation and I never did figure it out. Only used the Mudbucker anyway but I did experiment w/ it

Getting ready for a little road trip, Rumourz has 4 shows in 5 days. We start in NYC at the Red Lion Wednesday night then a day off to sight see in the big apple. Next stop Geneva NY at FLX, then Ithaca NY at the Range and wrapping up at Funk and Waffles Rochester NY. Looking forward to meeting Jeff (JJR58) and delivering his Classic Pro Thunderbird! The gray ghost (I know not very original ) my 2014 Honda Odyssey all loaded up and my case is packed .

Ha! Only problem is my self imposed rule that every sound has to come from the T Bird :/

Basses for the road. '66 Thunderbird, '69 and '74 Precision in gig bags ( not a fan of gig bags but only the P basses are going to NYC.) and lastly Jeff's Epi Classic Pro all boxed up. We are staging much our gear in a secret location in the Finger Lakes and traveling light to NYC. I despise gig bags but we need the room in the vehicle so gig bags it is for the Precisions .
Where was that in the Finger Lakes? (Kidding-I don't do snow! Not even for another NR'Bird.) Have a great road trip!BTW, 29(?)14 Odyssey? You really are a God!
You could double-slap the strings w/ the shoe

No big deal. Luckily, I never make misteaks. Are there any videos of your band? Wanna see/hear the '66.

Any new vids?
Not for us this time out, the person that shot so many of ours doesn't shoot nearly as much anymore - he (Useless Bay Productions) did all of ours for free. It does look like we'll get together in the summer to shoot one of me with 3 of my Thunderbirds as a sound comparison.
Summer following first year I worked at a factory Monday thru Friday in maintenance, working on the equipment and machines. Saturday and Sunday I worked at a zoo, I was on a 40 foot (12.2 metric units of length) jungle gym all day, basically babysitting people.

Having seen how so many of those come out of the box, walking away completely is the best course of action.
