I've never been a Dead fan, but I've always really liked Phil Lesh's tone.

I became a Dead fan in part because of his tone and playing.

The double bass in your avatar makes you look much fatter.

Right??

 

[fasterpussycat]

Hard to Like that. You all ok at your house?

We're about as inner city as you can get. We get choking smoke but there's no real fire danger. @RedVee is in much more exposed on that score.

 

[fasterpussycat]

Is your Cat Tail the standard version, or did you get any mods?

Mine has a second distortion circuit, which is never used as it sounds gnarlier without.

That's the first bass I've seen at NAMM ('seen' via pics here on tb) that I liked.

I am moving slow today. Orgone put on the usual amazing show. Being the ugliest, oldest merch girl ever worked out ok, too. Strange things sometimes happen. I got flashed. I am not sure why she decided to flash the merch table, but it sure made me laugh. She was completely enthusiastic about it. I assume she was practicing before she tried it on the band.

yep, I’ve been fine except for smoke induced asthma and ashes and burnt leaves falling. I’m just far enough away, the bush and fields close to me luckily stayed unburnt except for little bits here and there.
One day I found ‘crow feathers’ in the backyard. Turned out to be gum leaves burnt totally black that had drifted in on the wind.

that was your payment

That makes as much sense as any other explanation.

The "Fender style" straight neck with string-guide along with it being a bolt-on was a cost-saving move. The intention was cost-saving to make but also repair-minded for gigging musicians, as in; if the hs or neck broke - a new neck is installed and the guitar would quickly be playable again. Although the "Gibson style" set-back hs is a superior design, a neck-thru is more costly (time & money) to make & repair.

7ender's 70's brutal advert campaign really played off Gibson's angled neck/headstock with this poster. There was a whole series based on fairy tales.

Gig tonite was weird. First set was like playing for zombies. Third and fourth set we were on fire. People are like a switch sometimes. Off/On.

Alcohol consumption may have something to do with that! (social lubricate)

He's left-handed. I feel fine with this advert. Of course I'm not the intended viewer.

Mark Gooday (Ashdown/Trace Elliott)as cool as ever...never seems to age...

the T-Bird is a steal (with case) at around 1200 bills.... great neck and VERY versatile...apparently Rudy Szarzo and Glenn Hughes picked one up..

MM pickups on a Thunderbird. I did that years ago for a Tbird I built for BEAD tuning .

IDK where in FL you are, but that seems kinda typical. Someone's gotta 'break the ice' and it seems no one wants to be first on the dance floor. A guitarist I worked with would quip that the audience looked like the cast of Coma or an oil painting.

The chain as strap is an interesting touch.

Was just asking about the fire, chit the answer above...

Athsma... my wife has that, hope that air clears up ok.

Spaced Coast, from Sebastian up to Cocoa Beach. The weekend crowd here usually shows up half drunk. Saw a guy walk into a pole, another did a no-hands faceplant and a third was uneating dinner in the parking lot. "Do you guys play slur, slur, slur". "Sorry, we don't do that one (with hunched shoulders). As usual we had a few laughs, I have my crisp hundred (standard per person round here) and my beautiful GF got to dance. We also got 80 bux in tips and that went right to the sound-person.

Pretty fun description of the local population... like a little cropped out scene from a Hieronymus Bosch painting.
