The headstock sort of reminds me of a cross between a Ric and a Spector. Would that make it a Rictor or a Spectorbacker?

I think it's nice to see something that doesn't ape 7ender, quite refreshing in fact.
Bummer. I’m sorry.Well, got bad-ish news about the SQ Greco - apparently, it got some minor damage from shipping, and they sent it back to the shipper, who looked into fixing it. But apparently he decided to not go that route & sent me a full refund instead.
I feel like I should be
But he did do the refund unprompted, so...
That and temp changes, especially sudden changes.
Interesting. Maybe I'll parallel wire a couple of .047uf caps for a total of .094uf, that's pretty close to the .1uf max that I'm after.
Looking for a Non Reverse bird?
There's a Greco NR on the block at Reverb. A little rough around the edges for the price but a pretty rare find...

That's the post office. It's coming UPS.
In that case the motto should be something like...

Played the '06 with the Roto Flats yesterday. Sounded great at home and at church--when no one else was playing. I was really loving the sound, but when others started playing it kind of turned in to background bass and nothing interesting. Will go back to the Black Beauties and let it ride for a while. Need to get to playing other basses. The other birds are getting a little fidgety. Will be gearing up to move in month or so. I hate moving. I think I've said that before, but it needs repeating.

Indeed. UPS damaged a small combo amp I sent across the country in a padded wooden crate. They slammed it so hard that the scew heads punctured the plywood the crate was made of.In that case the motto should be something like...

Hopefully they're not able-or too lazy-to f---*up a packet of strings.In that case the motto should be something like...
