Ok, now you're making me hungr... wait, you *didn't* say 'ravioli'? Dagnabbit. Still hungry, and now I'm wrong too.

Good point. One of these days there may be a swap out (soldering is a royal pain due to focal length issues).

Another use for the mod.

As seen in the film 'Tricky Dick and the Man In Black', available on Netflix.

Tricky Dick should have been handled by the Men in Black long before he escaped quarantine, but I could say that about others, too.

I remember that photo. Never heard the whole story. Thanks!

Yes, only a hint of divey-ness, which will go away with lightweight tuners.

I finally experienced noticeable THUNDERBIRD neck dive! I had on a shirt that was pretty slick, and if I let go of the neck, it started downward. Didn’t lunge, but consistently happened.
Still not a big deal for me, but I feel like a box got checked I didn’t know was there.

Bass? Check.
Amp? Check.
Pedals? Check.
Dehydration preventive? Check.

Already is! Just may not know it yet.

 

[Engle]

Been resisting doing the same with a 'superfluous' Thunderbucker bridge pup. At least one has to sound like a 'normal' output bass right?

Only if you need normal

Cobalt flats will not hook you, they will grate your finger tips!

Carry on.

Ventures out to Gen Pop, sees troll thread, thinks about leaving a deposit, decides not to dignify it with same.

Note to self and for future reference, a suitable response is: 'You are entirely correct. It's good that you hate them. Leaves more for the rest of us. Have a good one.'
