That would require me playing.... I am suffering an anterior interosseous nerve palsy in my fretting hand (thumb and index finger not working properly). I haven't played in a couple of months. On the upside, I have a second surgical consult next week and with a little luck will be scheduling the surgery in the next month or two (I was referred by the first surgeon to the hand clinic).

Best wishes for a good consult and a complete recovery.

Does anyone know what a DTB neck profile is ? That's what they have on Ibanez Destroyer basses, but I'm not really sure what that means... are we talking Bird like neck, on more baseball bat type ?

unny, but I really enjoyed it when I read it and 1984 ( Brave New World too) in Senior Lit., I still have copies of all three.

Best way to make me hate something - force me into it. And I really enjoyed Brave New World when I didn't have to read it.

I drive by it every day going to work, I call it The Ministry of Love, if you've read the book, well.

Good god! It looks like a jail! Oh wait, it is a jail...

But many utilitarian office blocks (the ones favoured by budget conscious bureaucrats) look like jails as well (and functionally are a lot like jails).

Pink Floyd, was a band that I never could like much despite it being rammed into my earholes by Seattle's FM stations, still does nothing for me.

I always enjoyed Pink Floyd - wonky time signatures, depressing views of humanity, music that only makes sense when you listen to the whole album in one sitting. What's not to like?

There. Fixed it.

Good band name - Inbound Gordon

There. Fixed it.

I know plenty of people who did that. I am not one of them.

I love Alice Cooper. Especially the older material. And Alice still rocks.

Every election day I wear my "Don't blame me, I voted for Alice" shirt.

And my phone ring tone is Under My Wheels. Alice fans know why...

Ahead of our first show on July 2, I was just lemon oiling the fretboard and polishing the rest and wow do my frets look like crap. They feel smooth, though. I guess they just need a polish?

My first concert, that tour in 1973.......Yeah, that didn't have ant effect on me at all!

Your '15 has the wrong pickguard on it. That is something we do judge out here in Seattle. Shallow is good.

I played my '15 last night with tapes on it. It sounds like the biggest, baddest, hairiest, meanest Precision with flats imaginable with those strings on it. I like my 7ender P, but it may be even more surplus than it already was.

It’s an old pic of the 2015, pre black guard. I also have black tapes on mine and they are indeed wonderful sounding.

@PillO
Just catching up on TB news and saw your hand dilemma note. Hope all goes better than expected at the consult and if surgery is needed, hope all goes even better with that. Wishing for a Speedy recovery for my favorite melon focused bird beater!

I have one of Stew Macs fret erasers (not sure what to they call it but its like a hard eraser) that does a quick fret polish. If you don't have one - tape off the fb and use fine steel wool. (0000) Shines the right up!

I know, I almost included a disclaimer for you a those like you, which there are many. Unfortunately, Texas is a very big state...

Or fortunately, depending on viewpoint
