We generally (I never heard it) don’t use Chuck as a name. Sorry @Chucky Stiletti

hereabouts chuck is a synonym of throw, as in “Chuck us a tinny mate”.

we don’t upchuck either, there is plenty of chucking, spewing etc as ways of describing the good old “technicolour yawn” (or “driving the porcelain bus”).

Geoff, i'm dyin here.

Re-fin?
It looks a lot like this one, which I choose not to keep.

...certainly a refin, body for the neck purchased five years ago...probably not a keeper...

 

[D.M.N.]

I'd start badgering them around Christmas, people do crazy crap at Christmas time.

Maybe I'll just call once a week, offer 3,200 each time, until they finally snap.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease? Go for it, my man.

Thanks George, yeah it’s a 2015 Elite that I put a white pg on (original is blk) and yes, some slap there...Taylor pops octaves on the chorus of the original...

That is really nice. I do enjoy playing a good Jazz once in a while. It's one-sided. The Jazz doesn't enjoy it much....

Finally got the deck stained.

Nice Elite! I've always liked the looks of the Fender Jazz body (more so than the P bass) and if you didn't already know, aged white (essentially French vanilla ice cream color) is my very favorite of the Fender colors. So much so, that I built one for myself some time ago...

It started out life as a Warmoth body blank with neck pocket pre routed (didn't trust my skills on that part of the job at the time) and sports a Rosewood/Rosewood neck, a custom stereo preamp I designed and had John East build, and of course a tort guard and non jazz pups. It was my main player for years. Your video has inspired me to get it back in rotation.

It hasn't inspired me to work on my non existent slap skills though, slap is a bridge too far for me. Neat that you feel comfortable doing it, there's a number of songs (that I avoid) that call for sound slap skills. Keep rockin brother!

Looks killer! Great job!

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Ok. I’m ‘62. And I wasn’t all that young when that song came out. Graduated College....how old are those people and do I look anything like that? Scary.

Veronica’s vid is better.

We’re playing at the food court in a shopping center for Pete’s sake!....,,

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I think they will. The sales guy was totally into haggling, I figured I could go up to $3500 safely with my finance options, but when he checked it, his Boss had apparently flagged it specifically as not offers. Now I'll just have to keep looking and hope I can beat you out for any project ones that come up, I kinda want to have one finished in like firemist gold or copper.

Sooner or later he will change his mind, unless he gets lucky first.

At the early bird special? That's @GonePlaid's job!

So JHS made a Series 3 vid. Same pedals, but with bass. Gotta love these guys. I wouldn't say no to a set of these.

The bass looks great, as does the deck.
Also love the lush yard, don't see that much green around here in SoCal, looks like a Cicada heaven.

Looks killer! Great job!

Thanks. One of these days I'll build a Tbird, but I need to find a house with room for a wood shop first.

 

[Nocturnal]

Just had a memory pop up on Facebook that today is the 7 year anniversary of my wife buying me the 50th Anniversary Bird for an early 50th birthday gift. Should I drop a hint that I could use another for my upcoming birthday??

What could possibly go wrong, great idea Andy!

Sweeeet!.....reminds me of one of my favorite players...

if he gets lucky he may be happy enough to give @D.M.N. a good deal

Thanks. It plays really well. Sounds really good for a Jazz. With selling the house I had to get on it!

I'm always amazed how brown and tan things are in SoCal from what I see on TV. But it is the SW afterall! Yes we have our fair share of those critters in the summer. Shotguns aren't very effective. It's woods--which is way better than looking at other people's roofs, pools and basic crap. The next house will have a little be view. Plenty of trees but views of a golf course. There's one behind us now, but you can't see it till the Fall.

Kentucky has wonderful houses with Thunderbird building rooms!

She obviously loves you, so I'd say she would appreciate a reminder like that. Could even mention how all of us here think so highly of her for loving you so much and that she has the highest estimation of any wife here at TB. I'm sure she want's to live up to that well earned reputation!
