I love visiting San Diego, but I could never live there because I hate the airport.*
* It isn't the airport per se but rather the lack of direct flights. Constantly connecting through IAH, DEN, or SFO would drive me (more) nuts.

AND the only US airport with just one runway...
Yeah, that too. Makes for fewer flights, more crowded flights, and when delays hit, long waits.
Same with Albuquerque. My whole family lives in NW Ohio, and to fly to Detroit there are 0 direct flights. And usually when I fly back I have to connect through Midway (an earthly hell), because there are not very many flights from ABQ in a given day. There are still some areas of the country that are weird backwaters.
Why not just track bass yourself and send it to him over Dropbox?
But then how do you get weird looks from the neighbours?
I never seem to have trouble with that...

Eh, easy, I wear women's clothes.
In all of the times I have flown out of San Diego, one flight was ALMOST on time. Otherwise almost always a minimum of 45-60 min delays.
My experience as well. To the point that any time I'm flying out of SD and have a connecting flight, I make sure there's at least a four hour layover between flights.
That was my first idea, but I think it's about the "live tracking" thing, not having opportunity to punch in endlessly, lol. It's also the most like playing live- which is the ethic really.
Does anyone know if there's a hipshot bass xtender (drop D tuner) that is best for the Epi Thunderbird Vintage Pro?

Seriously. If you're going to do this, and you've splashed on the right 'Bird, set the girl up, boy!!
Yeah, but you get admiring looks!
I've been wondering - what is the actual difference, measurements wise, between "SlimTaper profile" and "1960's rounded Bass profile"?
Obviously the nut width is different, but fretboard radius is supposedly the same, so just the neck shape/thickness itself, I'm assuming?

Dropping in for a Thunderbird question... I'm redoing one of my Epi Fenderbirds and want a black pickguard - nobody makes these? WD has them with a hole in them (presumably for guitars with a pickup switch).
How come nobody makes any basic plain ones?
P.s. I have 2 white ones if anyone wants to trade me for a black one.
