You’re All To Blame for This

[bmusic]

Since I started checking in with TalkBass a couple months ago, I have

1) bought three basses (Reverb, TB, and local pawn shop)

2) took the neck off the pawn shop one and built a new bass with a body and parts that I purchased

3) replaced the pickup in a P

4) ordered 2 custom pickguards for a vintage Mustang, and

5) sent a body and neck off to MJT for refinishing.

To an already cluttered house, I've added a box of soldering stuff. This weekend I'm researching how to age pickup mounting screws.

All of this is on all y'all. And you will be hearing from my wife.

(Also, I just wanted to leave this here in case I disappear.)

You haven't even gotten to the amps and cabs yet ... Good luck with that. Buy her jewelry and chocolates ... she will leave you alone

For the pickup screws, try fuming them. I'd first try suspending them over some vinegar in a sealed plastic container overnight. If that does not do it for you, you can also try the same thing but with ammonia. (Don't mix them and wash in between!) I've also fumed parts over muriatic acid, but most people already have vinegar and ammonia.

Just to be clear: this is not normal behavior for me. I had GAS pretty much licked, even with Geddy's book on my nightstand.

Sounds awesome, you're welcome!

Last night I ordered a toaster for my 4003S. Clearly, learning to solder was a bad idea.

I've had the account for a while, but I wasn't a regular visitor until very recently, when my daughter took up the instrument. Now I check in several times a day.

I have TB set so I don't see the classifieds.

 

[Cutter8]

Hate to break it to you, but it's gonna get worse if you keep coming around here!

 

[electracoyote]

You're welcome. And you still have some catching up to do.

 

[Hevy T]

Welcome to Hell please enjoy your stay! Btw you're welcome

I see nothing about a fretless in there. You still have work to do, as far as I can tell.

No need to get tested. You're positive for our disease.

Au contraire, mon frere, my 65 Starfire is up for sale on Reverb, but one of my Mustangs could very well be the last bass standing when the dust setttles.
