You could add fins to it.

Not sure i'll ever own a car again, not as long as mass transit can get the job done.

 

[GonePlaid]

this 72 is looking like the next one...

Being awkward to play(for me), I have no use for them. I don't hate 'em, but I'll stick with my [mostly] Gibby/Epi products.

What little mass transit we have here is useless. I can see it in big cities but everything in FL is spread out. I can't get to any of my gigs on a bus. Plus all the crap I gotta take? No way.

as do I (no Epis) but Ps can be very cool....in fact, many basses seem be very cool...Grecos, Orvilles, Epis, Lulls..

Totally get that, some places you just have to have a car. I also don't miss driving, i used to love it. Now my patience has worn thin with it all. To many knuckle heads on the road. But if i had a Porsche................

How 'bout a set of these grafted on to yer AMC?

Interesting. I find nothing objectionable about the feel of Rotos.





I have been trying to work with a pick (on and off) for a few months. My biggest problem with using a pick is muting. I have trouble muting 3 strings and playing 1, particularly playing the A and D strings. Any pick aficionados want to share some hints?

When using a pick I mute with my palm, my palm rests right ahead of the bridge saddles, bridge covers are a no go for me because of this.

That is the technique I have been working at. I require many more hours of practice with it to end up at something workable.

Yeah, you take enough crap about your minivan.

 

[Gaolee]

I'm sure there'll be a flying frying pan or heavy duty rolling pin headed towards my head at some point.

Nah. Shoes. There's a good supply of those, so I gather.

Being a lover of Precision's................ i like.

A Precision is the only FSO I'm interested in. Hah! Got one. Problem solved!

Presupposes that only Kat would have reason to lob something at @JJR58 ...

Hey! Lets get it right! MinivanS

Uhhh, they're both breathing aren't they?

I like Fneders, including the oddballs.

 

[TBird1958]

I went and measured the 67 NR-50+1/2" HS to strap button(face down). I'll spare you all my fuzzy photo. Thank me later. This is why all of the aftermarket cases are useless to me-except the Coffin case I got from S.A. Yeah, it's HUGE but it protects my 'Bird*, which is all that really matters.

*insert 'AHEM' here

Can we talk about your shoes?

It's just me, but this is about as close to an F.S.O. as I could get - I don't think it sounds even remotely like one.
