Rickenbacker Basses / Re: Rickenbacker news from NAMM
« on: February 04, 2010, 02:06:45 PM »
About 3 years ago, I think. Ilan will know. Rick's backlog reached critical mass, they raised prices significantly for the first time in years, and that caused used prices to shoot way up.

Last year my son got a barely used 2007 4003 in a multi-bass trade on Talkbass. He got the Sadowsky he wanted and always intended to flip the 4003. I listed it at the Rick Resource Forum at $1400 and nobody bit. He put it on eBay at 1550 BIN with free shipping and it was sold in a few minutes.

The Outpost Cafe / The darker side of women
« on: February 04, 2010, 01:54:07 PM »
A woman was in town on a shopping trip.

She began her day finding the most perfect shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third, everything had just been reduced by 50 percent when her mobile phone rang.It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU.

The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and that she'd be there as soon as possible. As she hung up she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best day ever in the boutiques. She decided to get in a couple of more shops before heading to the hospital. She ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake slice, compliments of the last shop. She was jubilant.

Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital.

She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her husband's condition. The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, 'You went ahead and finished your shopping trip, didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself in town, your husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as well you went ahead and finished, because it will more than likely be the last shopping trip you ever take! For the rest of his life he will require round-the-clock care. And he will now be your career!'

The woman was feeling so guilty, she broke down and sobbed. The lady doctor then chuckled and said, 'I'm just pulling your leg. He's dead. Show me what you bought.’

I may have to teach my wife to play violin.  That could be bad, veddy bad....

No, teach her to play fiddle. It's a lot less expensive. Very old joke: what's the difference between a fiddle and a violin? About $20,000.

Search Google News for Toyota shim, you'll find a few articles with pics. Even if it's the right fix, a little shim may not inspire confidence.

finding the #$@% tailpiece for a Dasson bridge is tough. I checked Bach and it seemed they want almost 100 bucks just for a tailpiece?? It was in  in one o' them thar' furren langajess...

The currency converter I used shows 1720 CZK = $91 USD. It looks like that's for the bridge and tailpiece, not just the tailpiece. Still, seems high compared to the cost of a whole BaCHbird.

On the news last night they showed the repair parts Toyota will use, they look like fairly thick metal shims. I wonder if it will really eliminate the problem.

Good for the court.

The behavior of the media companies has made me cheer "piracy."

Yeah, neither have I.  Sorry, but I would slap a Badass II on there and be done with it :-[

Much too wide string spacing.

IIRC William of Ockham (sp.?) predated Star Trek by a few centuries.
