We're done with Jackie, no going back there as we really had to draw a line and move on from her.
Yes that's a Hustler by my left ear! I collect them, there are many variations in paint colors, my very first HO loco!
I'm such a dork!
Oh. Didn't mean to pick a scab.
Cool. Somebody used to make a geared chassis for those things. Long time ago.

We haven't started yet as no one in the band save me has even a first shot yet - it'll come likely in April or May. Frank and I are taking a short trip to interview another woman that lives in Pt. Townsend, she can belt it out pretty well, I've heard her on a CD she's done. My original person is still very much in the mix too, she's on her way to Israel for a couple weeks and will be ready upon her return.........Stuff's happening, just not fast enough for me, seeing Scott, Mike and Chucky out playing is just making me a bit crazy to get at it again.

anyone ever tell you how über cool you are?
Thank you! Was thinking the same about you!
...and if for some reason you aren't, you can probably off load it in this direction.I tried to get a couple of pics that show how nice the finish is, but it isn't a good representation. It's really quite nice.
... I think I will be happy with this one.
Suicide on wheels!V8 in an MGB.......
Had a buddy back in the 1970's that dropped a souped up 289 mustang V8 in an Austin Healey Sprite and tubbed the rear end shortened the axle and put drag slicks on it. He trailered it to the drag strip where the engine torque combined with the sticky tires promptly bent the frame on the first run.
Smile, you have a beautiful bird in your hands!
I rolled my own J: Lightweight body, stacked coil humbuckers with a blend control, a Squier neck refinished with nitro, and Hipshot ultralights.
Tell me about it! I’ve got 3 freshly resto-modded basses I haven’t gigged yet.

The RW literally blew my mind. I was so frustrated with Jazz basses and had spent a small fortune on them and replacement pickups. I stopped at the House of Guitars on my way to rehearsal and bought the RW on a whim and to my surprise I plugged in in and there was the sound I was looking for. I was going to upgrade the pickups but there is no need.

Ain't that the truth.
I feel ya.
Same here, getting antsy revisiting the band's setlist and making small improvements/corrections in my basslines.
Hopefully you find that special singer soon and get a sense of forward movement.
Chucky plays with such joy that there is none left for his face.
Holy s**t!V8 in an MGB....
V8 in an MGB....
If I'm going to do something stupid with a car, I think this would be my choice.
We had a couple kids in high school who tried that with their Pintos. Didn’t work out for them very well either....and if for some reason you aren't, you can probably off load it in this direction.
