Fwiw, the "Awkward" remark is not intended as a slight. It's to imply there are interesting influences. When electric instruments were becoming a pop commodity there were elements of industrial America in the presentation. Machine-looking, tech-vibe aspects mixed with sleek new curves. It was an interesting era, and that bass carries some if it. Perhaps my descriptive word didn't bring it.
you can clearly see the input jack and there is nothing plugged into it, but how can that be you ask ?
Thanks for that! It's designed to be very ergonomic and to balance well. The upper horn goes to the 12th fret, the lower horn is shaped like that so playing seated is optimally comfortable, and the bass is designed to stand stably upright against an amp with a Dunlop Strap-Lok system strap attached.
starting to really those, not easy to find used since it’s a fairly new release(?)...”FanoBird” pickups? Dude at the booth said they used Thunderbuckers....whole lotta bass for under 2k new..Love that design!
I tend to have my own particular "vision" about projects, though I don't find the time to execute very often. But allowing influence to find its way into the result can be a small revelation. A combination of intention and letting go ends up expressing personality... not letting your guts help drive makes a thing sterile, no matter how elegant the math might be.
That’s Truth. It’s so easy to get caught up in my own drama and forget that the other person has their own unique situation.Many years ago, I read 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.* We can debate whether I learned anything from it; I'll lead the "not a damn thing" side.
#5 is the one that really sticks with me and I think that far too many people need to learn. Seek first to understand then to be understood.
Everywhere it seems, people are far to busy shouting the importance of their opinion and vilifying those that disagree. But, it is the habit that has served me best through the years across many things personal and professional. Understanding someone's motivations can inform so much from trying to make a relationship work (or indicating it should be abandoned) to negotiating contracts. It is the whole walk a mile in a man's shoes thing.
It appears that you have been practicing #5 for some time.
* As a review, I would suggest reading the chapter titles and the first page of each chapter. The rest of each chapter is filler to make it a book rather than a pamphlet.
I agree. But think it could be condensed even further to, "treat other people how you would want to be treated," since that thought underlies all the good points he made in the book. The rest, as you say is filler.Many years ago, I read 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.* We can debate whether I learned anything from it; I'll lead the "not a damn thing" side.

Thunderbird people are great! Thunderbird people who are dog people are all that and then some!
did you change your avatar cause the white 76 is on it’s way to CA?
WOW!
I feel I must remind you, Jeff. You can't take it with you... no Brinks trucks following hearses.
I'm not that type.
