Staircase porn and a gratuitous Lo-Z family photo
66Atlas:
I recently finished my project of replacing the newel posts, ballusters and handrails in our house; something I've never attempted before. After completing it I can say I wouldnt wish this project on my worst enemy. I originally thought it would only take a couple weeks but ended up being almost 4 months start to finish (Weekends, Holidays and a couple "sick" days). That was for 12 posts, 130 iron ballusters and new handrails. TBH the project was delayed a couple weeks after I ran a miter saw halfway through my thumbnail, luckily stopping just as I knicked the bone.
Assuming no one will actually want to see a photo of my handywork I'll post a picture that people around here may actually be interested in. The stair work makes for a nice backdrop I think ;D
Grog:
I don't see any handrails at all!!??? Great collection of Lo-Z basses! I wasn't aware that any of the LBO brothers had an original LP Sig Bass with the oval pickup. Rarer than hens teeth!
(Good job on the rails also).
Dave W:
Nice!

Thanks! the staircase work really came out nice but I'll never do it again :o
The LP signature is a recent acquisition so I dont think I've posted anything about it since I got it last mo. I really wanted one after I first saw Rob post pictures a year ago. The 3 position switch in it was bad when I got it and had to replace that. The pots and transformer all had 1970 date codes on them and their are some handrwitten numbers (400/200) on a piece of masking tape inside the pickup. The pickup isnt a stacked humbucker like the '69 and Triumph, it appears to be the same as the later square humbucker winding imbedded in the round case. I'll post some pictures I took later, You can tell it's different because it only fills the round case about halfway up. I guess that would be consistent with the advertising calling it a "new design" pickup from the start.
