Amazing how many cannot or will not follow instructions...

"We don't need no stinkin'............." Never mind.

I joke about it a lot 'cos I like the tone without it, but I think I may have a shot pot. I don't care about getting it looked into since I'm happy with the bass as is. "If it ain't broke...."

It seems to me that when it was new(to me)they both worked OK. And I may have had the neck pot replaced. I'm 'blessed' with CRAFT.*

Real men don't need instructions.

Instructions are just some guys opinion of what you might try if you get stuck.

Any of that asbestos?

Let me get a screwdriver and dislodge some of it and get back to you.

 

[dagrev]

'preciate the offer, but 'cept for the PG-and I have the original-I'm leaving it stock 'til I sell it or "buy the farm". In which case my heirs will do something stupid with it.

Your heirs phone number would be again…? Not rushing you or anything.

Are you really Red Green?

Are you really Red Green?

You do know that Red Green was a documentary, right?

 

[Gaolee]

Bet it's not a problem on a VP.

Don't those already have clovers though? But, I'm sure you are right about that.

 

[Gaolee]

Did y'all tip her extra?

It wasn't my wedding, but we carried all of her gear for her. Of course, I always carried all of her gear for her. She's about half my size. It was an amazing performance though, what with getting stung and playing right through it. I'm looking forward to coming up from this COVID thing and being able to see the members of that band. We don't play as a band these days, but have remained pretty close friends anyway.

It's more of an issue with guitars, but as you roll off the volume, a pot by itself cuts the treble from the pickup as well. The caps on the volume pot let the treble through.

I just learned something. I love the educational aspects of the Thunderbird Club.
