Sunday morning racket...

So much cool stuff in that photo. But what's the fourth knob on the Fenderbird?

That bass was wired VVTT and had a micro switch to select either or both of the pickup - which were Seymour Duncan '51 P Bass types that I potted into NOS '76 Gibson covers.
 
My daughter’s orchestra was asked to track the string parts for Julia Michaels and JP Saxe on a tune that starts about 20:20 here:
WE Celebrate: Class Of 2020
She’s the blonde girl on double bass. We recorded the video with a phone and then recorded the audio with a condenser mic.
Only available in Canada. Eh?
 
I'm holding out for a Gold Bullion with gold hardware and a black pickguard as a Non Reverse match to my Gibby Anniversary Bird...

After the NR purchase it'll be a Gold Top Les Paul solid body and a gold JC hollow body to round out the set.
Unfortunately, Gibby let that ship sail when they didn’t do anything to mark the 50th of the NR. Exhale now please.
