Thanks. They’re on Spotify. I learned of them when they appeared in my Mixes. I didn't know until your post that it’s a different bassist on the second album. She’s the same player that was in Go!Go!7188, isn’t she?
Hi Alx. And welcome fellow Silverburst player! They look great. What’s the other one? The Queen will no doubt be along and get a number to you shortly.
Vintage Sunburst, with a black pickguard, with a Golden Firebird on it (not on those picture, i will send beautiful pics later

How aggressive is your right hand technique? The Babicz apparently has some sharp edges.
Apparently the last letter being correct on a given word is pretty important, at least according to this study...The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?
I had the same results when switching from a 3 point to a Babicz on my 2014 Thunderbird.

Well Now. It's GREAT to be Back! Good things do Happen. Although I don't see catching up since November. Did I miss anything?
So I think I know the solution to the windmill issue. I don’t windmill and am not willing to cut myself to be sure. But I think the culprit may be the height adjustment screws; particularly the G screw. When the extra shim plate is installed under the bridge, the top of the height adjustment screw is exposed on some basses set for low action. The screw can be sharp. Remove the shim, raise the height setting (clockwise) and the screw edge is concealed below the top of the thread channel. This will increase the break angle, which some on here like @GBassNorth may prefer. The shim allows for more flexibility in string height adjustment, depending on the neck angle. It is not needed on most installations. I don’t find any other edges on the Babicz to be any sharper than those on a three point.

Well, that's very conveeeenient (as church lady would say) at a time when lots of people can't be bothered to spell/order their written communication correctly thanks to texting, lack of education and a general breakdown of norms in our society. Even more reason (for me) to adhere to correct usage of the medium. Especially getting the first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

What you get up to in the privacy of your own home is your business. But don't post any pictures of it here or will get banned and possibly arrested.
Or did I misread that because the letters are out of order?

At least to this author / reader. 8^)
But it feels like bait and switch.
"We has a cardinal red Thunderbird!"
(Drools, runs to see it) "Where?"
"Right here!"
"LIESSSS!!!!!!! We've been tricked, my Preciousssss..."
