Think of the exposure, though.

I think it's really awesome that you had Jeff Ament demo your bass...

I wish all who have been impacted the best possible outcome. Planning for anomalous climate events to become regular climate events is something we all need to be more open to, if only because the trend is undeniable.

If it's configured like the one in the link, wire it like a Strat, but with a single volume and tone.

The 32" medium scale conversion necks have been my most successful venture. I'm going to try to build on that over the next few months.

Is the fact that pao ferro is lighter in color something most people care about? It's not something I even notice, other than if it's a bit dry.

Alright, alright, alright.
After much cajoling, I decided to take a crack at editing in Photoshop. I used the Quick Selection tool to create a vector mask and the Curvature Pen tool to refine the mask. The background color is a very light gray (e1e1e1), something I could not have done using my previous mask in GIMP.
I may go back and try this in GIMP to see how much more difficult it is, but it was awfully easy in Photoshop once I got the feel for it.

The '63 split window Corvette seems like a "bargain", relatively speaking.

I'm beginning to appreciate the benefit of a super-clean mask as well as using shades of gray vs. black or white. More to come on this front I'm certain.
