what’s muratic acid anyway? any one know of other uses?

Cleaning mortar off bricks, other similar chores...

Thanks, but tried what?

My VP is easier to play (neck feel) but the CP punches my aural buttons better.

The CP sounds dark and low, and when it breaks up it sounds like pieces of the earth exploding with a concussive recoil. I love what this bass does.

Hey, if you don't care how you present yourself to the world, I don't know what to tell you.

You say this to the proud melon-wearing Canadian.

Hah. Solid point.

I'm not familiar with this band Gloryhammer, but 2015 Thunderbird.

Well they look serious. Like EuroVision serious.

I think I’ll look them up.

The CP is very much the modern Gibson Tbird sound. The VP is very much the vintage Gibson Tbird sound. Both are wonderful.
If you like your bird thunderous and foundational go the CP route. If you like your bird aggressive and forward in the mix go the VP route. If you like your bird to destroy other birds get some hearing protection and go the Greco route.

Spelled out, thank you. Yeah I met the right 'Bird... She sought me out. Happy.

An ebony bird.

An ebony bird.

Well, no wonder I was in the “dark” on what you were talking about.

I've been contemplating some covers for my new Non Reverse, even before it's arrival, especially for the bridge, possibly the pickup too, came across these in my search.......... I should have known that they'd be available from the Man himself. Thank you Scott @godofthunder59 !

I like the mod. The bass and background ain't bad either.

Just read further down and found out they are nickel.
FWIW, vinegar fumes will age nickel too.
Just takes longer than muratic acid.

l’m loving the bass! The backyard is quite pleasant this time of year-it’s been a great summer in Seattle!

Oh. Same bass, just a different color. Looking forward to the nickel hardware so I can see it. Black on black is too much camouflage.

Toobsday!

Proving we're all different(well, as much as possible). I like the black on black + maybe a black PG. Sinister.
