It's a MRX Phase (Block letters) 90, and was made by MXR nor Dunlop I believe. I bought it used in the early 80s. No sound at all now Chuck. For a few weeks out of the blue it would pop loudly through the cab after being engaged and I would click it back off, just thinking it was something with a cable or power supply. I brought it home to see if it happened there too. Nothing at all now. AC or DC makes no difference. I thought some solders now covered by the e-tape may have been touching the metal box from the foam being shot, but I don't think that's the case now. Possibly something got cooked. I can't complain really it served me well since the very early 80s. We all gotta go at some point!

got it…let me find a schem….contrary to what one would think the “no sound” problems are the simplest to diagnose…..worst case, unlike the V4 you can send it to me.

I think the closest thing I have to match is a jazz...

Let's hope their new management keeps the customer service intact.

Yes sir! I hope.

That's so kind (and typical) of you. I didn't intend on you doing that at all. I certainly got my money's worth out of it!

Randy Bachman has lots of stories and a cool perspective on music:

No affiliation, just enabling fellow bird brains to imbibe.

The black guard looks nice. I would leave it blank, but I know most people like to have the Bird on there.

I just bought an extra long strap for the Flamingo. A regular length strap just isn't long enough. The rest of my 'Birds have longer straps, and it makes a big difference.

Pretty close. I tip the neck up from horizontal more than that, and maybe not quite so low. Funny thing is that I find a P to be unplayable that low, and the 2013 EB is similar to a P in that respect.

Thanks everybody! I'm looking forward to a little dinner with family at a nice place in Burien, WA.
A new dress for the occasion makes it even better!

Sparkling Burgundy. There is a handful of Orders for that Color in front of me. Tentative date is December. The wait begins. Enablers !

Lucky to have found you all Irv...

My whack editing that made it look that way Geoff.
It’s a bit on the creamy side.
Uh, uh oh…..

Well you had me tricked!

It looked to me like the material from one of those FSO P bass gold anodised pick guards. But I’m not good with colours

Happy Birthday V!

thanks, no real rush to get anything on there yet, like you, digging that plain look..

Thank you very much, Geoff!
