Thanks. I was just looking at those. Six, I hope to not need!
Trying to keep it at five birds--for the time being!
Wonder if the long taper would work or the short taper is needed for the TRC for fit.
They both fit. The short taper gives more 'meat' for the truss rod tool.
Great. That's what I was hoping for. Much thanks!
Yup. Now all ya gotta do is figure out how to get yer old nut off(possible ahem?).
Seeing Phil Keaggy live nearly made me give up guitar. But a few months later, during a period where I was practicing 2-3 hours a day, I ended up nailing one of his songs.
Alas, it only happened once. But it gave me hope.
me, too! I actually used pretty much the whole fretboard on one song today, including short runs up high, then working my way back down.
It needs vampire teeth.As some of you know from having lived in FL, our 'tseason' is basically over. None of our places wants to bother with music 'til next season-mid October. We do have a few odd gigs booked, but very damn little.
I'm always "amused" by the rest of the country's gigging season being the warm months when all our snowbird visitors have left. This will be 'sleeping' in its case a lot. The "Coffin" might be really appropriate.

I could let it wear my new uppers.
Ever notice how people ask for advice, but never say what they ended up doing? I don't want to be that person.
I asked about flangers a few days ago, then started looking at phasers based upon comments here. I ended up getting a Source Audio Mercury today. It actually can also be a chorus or phaser as well, win-win. MRX Phase 95 was my second choice.

I've had this little amp sim/efx thingy for ~20 years. I hardly ever use it 'cept here at the house, but it does a lot considering how old it is. Has 3 presets(programmable)for 11 heads, 10 cabs, and 11 various efx including phaser, flanger, octave down, fuzz, and some other[stuff], in whatever combinations ya wanna set up.
BTW, the pic is close to actual size.

I'll second that emotion.
Our next 1/2 jazz, 1/2 rock gig is Thursday. I'm figuring on a 'crowd' of ~5. +/-
Finally 
got around to fixing my pedal board.....
Before:
After:
Still got one pedal to go, the amp switcher, which will go in the empty spot on the bottom left.
It should be in tomorrow

see what I did there?
Yeah, that might be my next question.
I still don't get how you have the right size socket firmly on, and it slips. (Realizing previous adjusters might not have been careful.) Are Gibson's nuts half imperial and half metric resulting in somewhere in between?
You have talent. Me, not so much. I'm a bass hack!
That's impressive. He's a phenomenal and underrated guitar player because of his genre. Fast isn't necessarily a mark of good guitar playing, but is a skill. I remember the first time I heard him--I was blown away at how fast and the guy was (but fast is far from his only ability). Never heard anything like it before sense. Steve Morse comes as close as I've heard. I think Phil and Paul McCartney are loosely related somehow.
