The Reverse-Non-Reverse is finally done

We should stop eating them then. Does make you feel guilty.

Not when they are deep fried.

[Ken]

I don't eat them.  But I also don't really listen to prog.

I was trying to picture the death certificate for someone who died by electric toothbrush.

[TBird1958]

"Power tool accident", the genocidal threat of all lefties, I forgot!  Self-stabbed to death with the electric toothbrush.

BTW, I'm the type of hap- and hopeless righty whose life is generally endangered by power tools as well. My dad wouldn't even let me have a pocket knife. And based his recommendation that I study law on the following analysis: "Look, with two left hands you really don't have much of a choice. But you sure can talk yourself out of most things."

Parents and what they do to us! 

My father;  "Mark, when they were handing out brains, you thought they said trains, and hopped one"  And during my teenage years, "Mark! What do I have to do to get your attention?! Hit you in the head with a 2x4 like a Mule?"   

Needless to say he really hated my music!

I remember reading that somewhere else. More than you would find in any bassist then, left- or right-handed.

And I now finally understand why all octopuses dig PROG rock.

I like this place more and more!

Wouldn't that be over-detailed? Isn't general sinistral life incompatibility sufficient?



Ok, ok, my despicable me will now retreat under its
righty rock! I'm just jealous.

Followup.  So the considerably chunkier neck on the NR made it harder and much less enjoyable for me to play.  I finally brought it to Matt at 30th Street Guitars here in NYC and he took measurements of the Reverse's neck and said he'd see what he could do.  He did an amazing job.  I had it at band practice last week and the neck for me is now so much more playable.  I might still have him slightly flatten the curve of the back of the neck, it's still a world of difference.  Very happy.

You ghastly neck shaver!

[Ken]

Whatever gets the job done!

Glad it worked out! I bought an Epi Explorer bass online a few years back, and the second I took it out of the case, I knew I was going to sell it because of the neck.

What a bunch of wusses you are, can't you grip a manly neck?

That might be illegal.

In some states certainly.
