I play a clear one from time to time..I think it makes me look fat ..

Bad marriage advice:

Wife - Does this dress make me look fat?
Husband - No, I think it is the fat doing that.

I'll still take my tropical storms/'canes.

Don't get quakes, twisters or fire storms as such in UK, but sometimes the wind is strong enough to blow the bin down the street.
All you guys n gals stay safe.

It would be more accurate to get measurements from the center of the 12th fret. The saddle position will vary depending on intonation. I can measure my VP tonight if you’d like.

Thanks. I'll take all the data I can get, but I know I have to work around the existing Jazz PUP routings, just wanted to know which direction to favor if any.

No, that is a later model. VF, not VFR. I will dig up a pic.

Stay safe, all you who live in California. It's not just a California problem overall. Right now, California is getting hit hardest. But, Oregon, Washington, BC and Alaska all have fires off and on. For the time being, all the best to all of you in the path. May the rains come sooner rather than later.

It’s dry this week, but last week required flippers!

I’m going to do some experimenting with (a single) pickup position on the bird I’m lightening /rebuilding.

My last(ing) memory of Edinburgh is more than two months of subzero temperatures, avalanches, black refrozen slush, and one morning leaving home in the dark to trudge an hour through snow to get to work and thinking 'it's warm today' -- it was -5°C. We did one winter without touching the heating (except for xmas/boxing day) because we weren't going to pay a king's ransom for the gas. Amazing what you can put up with when you have two hot water bottles and a pile of duvets.

We got in a taxi and went to the airport, less than a day later we were in Bangkok, then a few hours after that, Sydney, hot and humid at 0700 in the morning rush. The Mod knew he wasn't in Kansas anymore.

My fretless conversion is almost done, just some final leveling tomorrow.

I am going to take this opportunity to get rid of the hideous sunburst finish.

Whoa! What hideous sunburst finish are you talking about?

Yeah. Me too...

Well, since there is popular demand...

Be afraid in the watermelon patch! It is where aliens come from!

-5°C Pffft.

I spent 4 years in Petawawa (just a 45 minute drive from Ottawa (get a map or Google maps)). It was routinely -40C/F (the same in both scales) overnight. If you didn't plug in your block heater at night, your car wasn't going anywhere in the morning.

Average British winter.

 

[mr zee]

Come to think of it the average British summer is only about 25c unless you live on the south coast and then it can hit 30, sweltering.
