Came up to the new place to work on a few things and grabbed some vinyl to listen to. The VP gets the call for shed time.

I think they're Nickle Rounds of some kind, no silks. They're not as bright as a Stainless Steel string, depending on where your hand is touching the string they can tight and well defined or quite deep and very bassey.

I use D'Addario XL nickel rounds on most of my basses. :thumbsup: :bassist: I can't remember what's on my '64 II, but I think they are D'Addario NYXL's.

Now where do I find a black pickguard?

Hard to tell from this photo, but that jack position doesn't look quite usual for the Epi front jacks. Since you elsewhere affirmed it's a neck through, is there a covered hole on the bout? I'm wondering if a previous owner moved the jack. Either that or it's not a CP, but some rarer bird.

Not 100% true, but getting true-er every day.....

"Newsom signed a bill to ban the sale of most flavored tobacco, including menthol cigarettes"
"Smoking is prohibited in all government and private workplaces, public schools, restaurants, bars, casinos/gaming establishments (tribal establishments exempt), retail stores, recreational/cultural facilities and childcare facilities. E-cigarettes are included in the state's clean indoor air law."



But what I wrote had lots of hyperbole & sarcasm with it, neither of which translate well on the internet. :)

And I live in FL where they're almost encouraged.
While visiting a friend a few years ago, we went to breakfast and people were openly smoking cigs in the restaurant. I asked her about it and she said "remember where you are". North Carolina.

First time I went to Singapore there was a yellow line on the floor at the end of baggage claim and a trash barrel just inside the line. The sign on the wall said cross the line with drugs and you will be killed. At least they gave you a chance to throw them away with no penalty.
