And any other guys in the path.

Thanks, Bob. Not too bad so far. Supposed to be about 4" total rain over 2 days. Heaviest, .25 inch in a 2 hr period starting in about an hour. The usual hysteria in the media, of course. I'm supposed to be getting a bass delivered by Fedex tomorrow, looks like I'll have to wait.
How is it in Kissimmee?

Localized flooding and school closures here in Tampa Bay.

I didn't blow away and my 'new' bass is out for delivery.

Pre CBS vintage Kluson reverses. I hope they haven't led me to make a big mistake...

Judging by those tuners I thought they might be sitting on a Pre CBS neck. Price seemed right to take a chance. DiMarzios, Klusons, and Badass are worth about that much. So here it is, the Klingon Warrior Hermine.

Unfortunately the neck's a Schecter but parts is parts. Tuners will go on my '57 P clone and the Borg will absorb the rest.
Really well made 'instrument', one piece honduras mahogany body, fit and finish excellent. Marked D. Vidal #5 5/79 in the neck pocket. Sans headstock cover, lucite spacer still in place.
