'wing' windows - the thing I miss most on cars today.

Teah. 'Specially if ya didn't have AC(it didn't). Also kinda liked what my dad called the pneumonia hole-side vents(53 Studebaker, also on my 2 Freightliners)and the cowl vent on my 63 Volvo pv544.

If you live in Brooklyn, you’re legally obligated to be sarcastic

Yeah, but since everyone is, how can you tell?

There's a special breed in BK unlike any other kind.

Nope. 62(my first car was one o' those-convertible, 327)

you are correct sir, and the owner told me, just couldn’t remember when posting...it just seemed newer....his uncle bought it brand new.

Mine does not have that issue. Then again, the pickups are about as low as they will go. It still has its unique beastly quality. Either I got lucky or have prehistoric ears. Or both, which is probably closer to truth.

I'd be very interested in hearing what strings you use, what the clearance is between your neck pup and the strings, and if you have a small magnet you can use for a test - what the orientation of each pup is (are the neck poles on the neck pup the same polarity as the neck poles on the bridge pup.
Those three things would tell me a ton!
I'll even buy you a pitcher of beer next time I see you!

@MCF this applies to you too - free beer!!!

But who'd drink it.

Stand back. I think it's going to pee on something.

 

[dagrev]

Over the shoulder boulder holder. (ex-girlfriend used to always say that...)

My dad used to say that, and it was a Flopper stopper.

Exactly. Look for the fire hydrant and move away.

 

[Gaolee]

Were you required to swap instruments part way through each set?

I dunno. The gig fell through before we got the details. Apparently there were poles involved. I don't know if we were going to interact with the poles in any way or not.

Been a tough couple of days. I paddled 13 km yesterday and again today. (13km=8mi for those stuck on measures that don't take advantage of engineering notation). Garmin says it involved burning more than 900 calories each time. So, yeah, asleep at the switch. Literally - I needed a nap yesterday and today.

So wait. You paddled eight miles? How long did it take? 3-4 hours? And only expended 900 calories? I’m thinking there are lot more efficient forms of exercise. One in particular, never even leave the house...

About 2 1/2 hours

But then you get asked questions about why one arm is so much stronger than the other.

Those Traynor 1510s are excellent cabs. Lots of bottom end, punchy mids. They rattle the fixtures and shake the basement floor. I love mine.

Speaking of Traynor, there’s a Bassmaster 800 for sale locally for $300. Just not sure if I want a 25lb amp when I could get an 8lb amp that can push the same kind of power.

my '66 122s had um' (and an aftermarket A/C that I had removed when I bought it in '76 (a doctors car) The only car I wish I still had. (in mint condition!)

Sometimes it’s really really good to be the bassist

 

[JIO]

My dad used to say that, and it was a Flopper stopper.

Both very cockney (sing-song rhyming)

 

[Engle]

I don’t get scooping mids. I was taught in ‘72 that upside down smiley face was the place to start when tweeking EQ.

It can work. It depends on what tone you’re going for and the mix you’re in, but yeah, I usually avoid scooping.

Well, bass players are usually found next to the drummer facing the other musicians.., backs...

The 544 cowl vent was well used. Which ‘53 Studi? My Dad had a ‘54 Flight Hawk. Amazing and beautiful car. Until he ran it into a light pole in a bar parking lot. Yeah. Mom was pissed. We still talk about it today. That was such a beautiful car.
