Could be a decent player. You'll have to do something about the G string bridge saddle.

Sounds like Jack's been taking lessons from hieronymous.

They also show cream and white as options on their site. I might ask if they can do a custom set in Zebra for me just for kicks.

The Outpost Cafe / Re: Good Ol' Classic Blues Songs
« on: April 19, 2014, 12:24:31 PM »
It's too nice out this time of year to be posting blues tunes. Here's a song from a band I can't get enough of lately. It has the word blues in the title of the song. Close enough.

I sent an e-mail to DiMarzio inquiring about the X2N versus X2NB. Steve Blucher replied and advised me to go with (2) neck position D Activator X pups. Same dual blade design, but they apparently have a better low end. They worked out great with a similar vibe to a Gibson TB+.
That's interesting that he recommended two neck pickups. Do you miss the extra power on the bridge pup? I wonder if they would make the D activator X in cream. Could be a good match for my Epi LP. Speaking of LP basses, my custom LP build with Stambaugh is heading into final shaping and should be going out for finishing within a couple weeks. Between that and the return of my old P, I'm swimming in basses. I'll get some good group shots together when I have a chance. Maybe I'll get some of the girls from the newly opened "Tilted Kilt" located a few feet from my condo to pose with my basses. Should make for some exciting pics if I can pull it off.

Hope Malcom is doing ok. AC/DC was a big part of my love affair with rock once I started growing hair on my sac. If they didn't make another album I wouldn't be too worried. I'll just listen to the stuff from their prime or turn on the radio.

Fender Basses / Re: Aged Antigua. Fugly or Fabulous? You be the judge

Steve said he'd have it done in no time. Ordering the pickguard material will be the longest part of the wait. About the Legends. They have their fans I'm sure but they are a little too flat for my tastes. The E string seemed more on the dead side and out of balance with the rest of the set. From what I've heard about Pyramid golds it seems they may be similar sounding and if you like those you might like the Legends.

Steve Morrill set me straight. The neck's not twisted but the ninth fret was seated a little on the high side so he'll tap it down best he can or dress it level. I'm going to have him set the bass up a bit better with La Bella 760 fs deep talkin' flats. Can't say I cared for the DR legend flats that I tried on there when I got the bass back. They're a little too lifeless and devoid of a rich harmonic overtone structure. He'll also make me a parchment guard with a thumb rest on the correct side. I didn't feel like messing with any expensive tort just yet and didn't want to take a gamble on a painted repro pick guard looking like a correct match. Oh yeah and new flat top knobs. Pics when it's done.
I waved to Joe Biden on his way out of Boston after commemorating the bombings from last year. His rather large cavalcade drove by Bukowsky's where I was having lunch and a beer (maybe a couple) after seeing Steve.

ah, yeah.......
Been meaning to leave this here for Uwe, just having a little fun with his bass.....
That's a nice pic he left on my computer screen
That bass is a wonderful match with your silver fox looks. You should get one for yourself. Grey levis couldn't hurt either. Some nice straight fits would offer a nice balance to all that cross dressing.

Automatic entry into Alba by parental right!? Sounds good to me but those are some strange laws. I wonder how Jessica feels about this?

Isn't Scotland trying to secede from the UK these days? Better get there quick Kenny before you have to apply for citizenship.

That bird is cherry, pun intended. I don't understand why some people think the NR shape is ugly. To me it has more sensual and almost voluptuous feminine curves compared to the angular rev shape. I love both and the even more curvy LP shape as well.
