Thanks! She is still my favorite bass.

It doesn't have those big flakes I expect in a metal flake finish, but I am not an expert in those matters. Is a metallic finish the same as metal flake? I apologize in advance for the stupid questions.

Metalflake on cars does have big flakes, but the same concept works with smaller flakes as well. If it's just reflective, and not with any sort of flakes in the paint, then it's not metalflake.

Oh for God's sake. Those things would be squashed like a bug around here with all the pickup drivers who consistently travel at 20 MPH over the speed limit.

Worst offenders around here are surprisingly not young dudes in hot rods or trucks (though we have plenty of them) but young ladies in really small cars, and on their phones. If Danica Patrick only had a Corolla or Kia she would have won a race if not a NASCAR championship. I know that sounds sexist, but it's simply an observation even my wife notices and complains about, and so far as I know she's not anti women.

What's wrong with being sexy?

Decided to find batteries, to see if it still worked....and it did :jawdrop:

I even found an old USB mini? cable for it to hook to the PC, and most surprising of all - Linux had no problem at all working with it :jawdrop::wideyed:





So, I took a pic......

That is a great pic! I love the sparkle. Classy, not overdone. That's how my blue Epi is. One thing about digital photography, it isn't just the number of pixels. There's a lot more to it. Those are good cameras with good glass from Sony's purchase of Minolta.

A good way to spend the day. I have them (and my daughter) to thank for getting me interested in playing again. My daughter and I were in the car and she was playing a mix that had Substitution on it. I knew who they were from Lazy Eye and Panic Switch and went down a rabbit hole that night. I'm glad I did. They and Nikki really got me wanting to play again.

Great story. Glad you did.
