On a side note: tore down the Rick to clean and polish last night. Lots of gunk and fuzz (ew) to get rid of. Rickenbacker people are nuts about what they use to polish and I now know why. Never-Dull for the chrome, Swirl-It and Zymol for the wood. Man it really did a nice job. Like glass now.
I actually bought a second appliance dolly today My 1x12 is on one, and the first thing I am doing is removing the hack job casters some halfwit put onto this cab that poke through the f’ing bottom of the port and putting it on the second one
watch the JHS video on the tech of Jimi Hendrix. Apparently some of his fuzzes were all different at any given time, but in the same packaging as they were custom circuits, at least one was stolen, and nobody really knows or remembers what was in each iteration.
My buddy is moving out of state and needed various cases for guitars and basses. I drove down to his place to give him some extras I had. Two cases left. And then an explorer guitar project and a new to me bass followed me home. I’m still not entirely sure what happened. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
For some reason I thought he had the Smoked Almond Metallic color which I really dig. Seeing the ivory in person I was smitten.
And now to offend exactly half of the audience… I need to find the right tortoiseshell coloring to make a pickguard for it.
I’m only offended if it’s on my bass. Yours is beautiful in its own right. I so worry if tortoises ger chilly without their shells, but thats another subject
It’s not my bass, so have at it I’m not even silently judging you for it.
All I’m worried about atm is reading the instructions for some epoxy I’ll be pouring in the next few days, and if I want to try and build a neck from scratch or buy a pre-made and give it nice decent fretwork
