Reminded me of Rosanne Barr singing the National Anthem.

Singing???

Got tickets already?

I do!

I'm on their Patreon, so I was able to grab one before they sold out (in under 3 hours).


That first Troubadour show (and maybe the second also? don't remember for sure) should be essentially 100% Patreon supporters.....

Happy Thursday!

It's been a nice quiet day here on the home front, got an hour and 20 minute nap with my kitty, very grey and a bit chilly in Seattle - Like often!

Grey, wet and horrible in Sydney town today. I had to turn the light on in my home study before lunchtime.

9:00 AM and -15°C in my town (southern Finland). Can't complain really.

Spector Bird arrived today. The finish is pretty cool In the top picture, it looked grey when I took the picture. Camera picked up the colors tho. Glad to have one of these back in the collection!

Looks fantastic!
So are you planning on dropping a Haz clone preamp in it, or keeping it stock?

Yeah, but we are coming into summer

Here's the non-reverse I mentioned a bit earlier. Built in 2009 or 2010 IIRC. The pickups were also built by a friend to a NOS '76 covers (or replicas, I'm not sure).
Sounds good, doesn't look bad, needs some setting up.

Love the color. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a bridge like that one before.
Just something about the NR body style that looks so sexy.

Inverness green. The bridge is a Schaller roller bridge. I hated the floating tailpiece and I had it bolted to the body. Can't say it made that much difference to the sound.

Fantastic! Happy you snagged one. It just looks great. They look so stinkin' good they're worth having no matter what they sound like.

congrats Dude!! BEAUTIFUL bass.

Thanks guys!! It already has a Haz clone installed so I shouldn't need to do anything else to it.

The Tele had a slightly fatter bottom, making the rocking world go round a bit more. That wasn’t what I wanted to hear, but IO wasn’t surprised because my VP just doesn’t bring the low end quite as much as I like.

Round Core Boomers (not reg Boomers) are your friend then.

Absolutely beautiful! But not for me. I like snow pics way better than snow itself.

So who is your TCT[1]? Wandering youtube for my work soundtrack, there were a number of great bass players showing up, but whenever I specifically wanted something, it always ended up being the same band with the same bass player. No surprise to at least one of us here, my BCT this week is Nikki, and specifically this song.

I'm a huge SSP fan. Her basslines are always interesting and unexpected. Yet, she knows when to keep it simple as well.

 

[Justyn Brando]

You really are one of us.

I fear for my wallet....

$4 luminescent powder from eBay.

drilled holes, filled with powder and dropped CA on top.

I’m gonna have to do that. I love my Eppis, but they have tiny side dots. I can’t see in the dark like I used to.

I had the powder for watch hands, and I thought I'd try it out. it is difficult to get the CA glue to play nice and look good with the powder.

There is a company out of Japan I think, that makes markers in stick form, they are a little easier to apply neatly.

I’ll try those at some point. The CFs got it closer.

Thanks!
