This is gonna seem weird, but I use my phone as a phone. I don't need-or need to pay for-a handheld computer.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
Gonna check out the Epiphone Tbird on a trade Saturday. Anyone know what size tool (I assume it's a hex wrench) for the truss rod? Want to make sure everything works properly.
If it's real clean, with a conscientious owner, they would have one on hand
Is your garage ever not so miraculously neat?

Yeah, you would think, but I don't think this guy really plays bass, probably wouldn't know how to adjust it. That's why I wanted to have one on hand.
Anybody?
I thought @GonePlaid phone was more like this.
I'll just get off your lawn now.
We don’t even have a working pc at home these days. We use IPads and iPhones. They do everything a pc does, and easier.
Thanks for posting that, the vintage white (bisque or yellow to me) is the same color as my "white" Embassy, let's me visualize what it would look like if I swapped pickguards with my black Embassy.
To that end, Dave L, is everything a simple swap from one Embassy to the other, (I'm not experienced with a soldering iron)?
No, that's my landline.
Regarding my bass solo, they want me to do the lead on Rocky Mountain Way, with my wah-wah and the Electro-harmonix Octaver, (thanks for the recommend GonePlaid) they think I can get close to the talk box vibe.
Yeah. I can 'see' that.

Take a set with 4 mm, 4.5 mm and 5 mm. It can very, depending on who, when and where it was made. Likely 4mm.
I saw you more as a cans with string kinda guy.
I'm gonna disagree here. I do a lot of video editing for my race team on my PC. I also do a lot of graphic design for things like paint schemes, autograph cards, t shirts and such for the racecar on my PC. I also run a vinyl cutter from my PC, for, you guessed it, vinyl decals for said racecar.
But, most importantly, I can't play World of Warcraft on my phone or my tablet.
One of the nice things about going only IOS is that work stays at work and pleasure stays at home. Once I leave the office, I’m done. I seriously have no clue about World of Warcraft other than a friend and former co-worker’s son was an original developer of it and still works on the team. He’s been doing it for years. Apparently it’s really cool?I'm gonna disagree here. I do a lot of video editing for my race team on my PC.

Took my Alpine White Jack Casady down today to play, always feeling guilty about demoting it to #2 after I bought my '19 Gibby 'Bird from Sweetwater last year, and I gotta say...while the Jackbass is nice, there's no need to question which bass to play as my #1....Thunderbird hands down.
Trying to move my mom to that. I get 'tech support' calls periodically (I am not a computer expert of any kind). And the calls start with things like:
M - my computer isn't working
P - what is wrong with it?
M - the Microsoft isn't working
P - what do you see on the screen?
M - it wants a password
P - what password?
M - the password
P - read me the full text of the box on the screen
M - oh I'll have to turn the computer on then
