I was thinking Elmer Fudd.

And you thought that because you thought something around here it would stay thought about that way? Hah!

Finished up another single source, bass only jam today...kinda poor mans Steve Reich

Some of your earlier stuff had me thinking about Steve Reich.

Did everyone go through the pics?

In case you hadn’t, the seller has committed a faux pas.

Nice bass otherwise.

Why does this keep happening? Don't they know..................?

Wouldn't that be a foot pas?

 

[Gaolee]

Wouldn't that be a foot pas?

Or maybe a faux ped.

Or maybe a faux ped.

Very Good!

I'm a piker. I only did three hours last night. We saved one song that I go all jazz improv on until really late, and my intonation on the upright was beginning to fade a little. Oh, well. The audience was drunk by then, and they were impressed. I was sober and wasn't.

I might be playing in a surf band pretty soon. The telebird could end up with a baritone neck. That would be pretty wild if it happens.

There's surf in Seattle ?

It’s an awesome collection, is what that is! I’d rather have a few great pieces than a bunch of ok pieces

Agree!

Thank you!

It ain't a big fancy collection, but I love 'em!

Dang, Mark! You clean up nice and Paris sure does suit you! Never want to hear you picking on that mug of yours again!

Yes. Sound waves. Not ocean waves. There's all kinds of stuff going on here.

It's Headquarters, you would know.

Absolute, totally, unabashed complete derail. But i was just listening to this, and thought of @Gaolee. Sound and color.

Lots of colors in that one. Lots of space to walk around in the colors, too.

Great Expression there! I have always liked His style

I've been in awe of Steve Reich since my teens, so it's no huge shock to me some of that has snuck in, especially with the methodology of putting some of those jams together...repeating the same parts but in different lengths and time signatures creates that cycling effect

Wilko is much cooler than that John Wilkinson bloke

This may have been asked already but as I was gigging last night, but bridge pickup unscrewed itself and wound up interfering with my e string in the next to last song. I frantically screwed it back down with my thumb and finished the set. Anybody else had this problem, or a solution? It's a 2013 NR Thunderbird, btw.

Had the same thing happen to me with my 2013. Think it came from resting my thumb on the neck pickup. Suddenly I would lose the E string and noticed it was that screw popping it's head. The pickup was now closer to the (unintuitive since one would expect the volume to go up..) to the bottom string So annoying I stopped taking it to gigs. I swapped pickups with ones that came with different hardware and problem gone.

I think a moustache is a required item when playing a 7ender, even a false one is better than nothing, it's no coincidence that 7enders are so popular with Mexicans and why they have their own factory now!!

That pretty much illustrates the point. Without a mustache... that guy's face looks like a baby's @ss!

No, actually it illustrates the point that he's not playing a 7ender.
