Gibson pickup flaw

[uwe]

Innocence is an oxymoron for people who don't know better!

On the contrary, by any means, please foam it up wth any substances you deem fit, so I won't have to do it!!! We now know the cause and you know how to screw and put your hand underneath for a little padding, don't you? Never thought you that sqeamish, Mark, really ... A man's got to do what a man's got to do, I must insist! Get that pup in order or I'm coming over!!!

Uwe, I'll play the bass a bit first, the eve I sat with it for about an hour - with this thread in mind while playing along to some CCR I really tried to compare the volume on the E string compared to the others - there is a difference, not huge but noticable.  I'll take some pics of it for this thread (I will do a separate review), I'm usually not too squeamish, but this isn't my bass so I'm gonna be pretty damm careful 

Where did I go wrong when I posted this?   

I think I gay'd this thread up Bill - I've already edited out quite a bit of Errrmmmm... questionable.
OTOH thanks for posting it, obviously there is a problem.

You, sir, are a brave man.

No problem Mark, I wasn't offended.  Just a tongue in cheek remark!  You're good with me.

Morticia!



Dang!





There's another 13 seconds (plus clean up) of my life wasted.

Pretty pleeeeeeze! 4 screws and some hard foam, a material most certainly in vast abundance with - and I quote! - "the Pacific Northwest's leading source for an exceptional choice of quality lighting fixtures and accessories ..."



I herewith waive all claims re accidental damage of the bass!!!

[Granny Gremlin]

Such a short and un-caveatful (I think I just made up a word) release statement is really saying something about his confidence in your abilities, dear Frau, seeing as it is coming from a lawyer.

Ah yes, our Headquarters building for Northern Region Operations - Downtown Seattle, the building has been there since 1917 (Our company slogan "Seattle Lighting, creating alcoholics since 1917) BassNW is three blocks away +1 more for Emerald City Guitars. When I hired on 10 years ago I spent some time working at this building - enjoyed my time there as the clientele was very interesting on the project side, it was before we had Heavy or Light Rail service into town so the commute and parking were a downer.
I totally caved and walked to BassNW for lunch hour one day...........Oh crap! There's a beat to shit '76 Thunderbird in the shop! I told Evan Sheely to put my name on it and showed up the next day with 3 basses to trade him for that poor beat thing..... It became the 7 Up green one It hold Uwe and to a lessor extant all of you former Dudepit denizens responsible - I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing!

I get my 10 year Certificate next week, somehow I still have a liver!

I'll take a look at the bass on Thursday and Friday, probably be posting pics before performing any Ermmmm.....Operations in ze name of science          

[Pilgrim]

DANGIT!!!   I was at Bass NW for an hour last summer - didn't know your building was that close!!  Next time I'm in town I'll drop by and buy coffee or something stronger if you have time.

Al, you should get a hold of me whenever you find yourself up this way.
I worked at the Downtown store when I started with SLF, but that was 10 years ago - My original purpose was to work at Southcenter ( 12 miles south of Seattle), which I did for almost 9 years, since last September I have transfered to Tacoma, which is just about 20Mi. south. The manager here and several of my co worker used to be at Southcenter so I am amongst friends and enjoying Tacoma - which is a very blue collar/military community.

Cool.  I have a brother living in that general area, somewhat closer to Olympia.  My sister is a DVM and works out of the Puyallup area.  I'll let you know next time I'm up - sometimes the schedule is pretty tight.

If you fly in, your plane goes right over my house - Remember to wave to me!

[Highlander]

I'm waving from a bit east of you, but as I'm somewhat over the horizon, er... pretty pointless really...

You got up, Bill... nearly fatal...

At least I still CAN get up!
