I hesitate to post this. $45 Thunderbird pickups.

Welcome, indeed!

I'm impressed with Eyguitarmusic's psychic capabilities. I've been away from my emails for a few days, and they asked whether I wanted an 8 K pickup or a 9.2 K pickup. A subsequent email indicated that my pickups were shipped, without me confirming what I was after. I asked them today if indeed they had shipped, or if I could specify 'one of each'. They promptly responded five minutes later telling me they had indeed shipped me one of each already!

I'm going to use the 9.2 K in the bridge and the 8 K in the neck position of my Tokai 'bird. Anybody want to see a modding thread when I get round to it? I'm going to make a new wiring loom for the bass as well.

"Wiring loom" - very British! Please, please say "scratch plate" and "lorry" too!

[Alanko]

Do you call it a wiring harness?

[uwe]

Naw, I call it "Kabelbaum" (pronounced: car-belle-bowm). 

The natives from your former tax-dodging colony call it "wiring harness", but look what they have done to alumin(i)um too!

[veebass]

We have Aluminium in Australia, but wiring harnesses. Mostly pick guards, but sometimes scratch plates (except on ES 335 basses).

[Highlander]

I say Chaps, the Post Office lorry delivered my 8k pick-up fresh kin from the Old Colony today, much to my delight, but one will not need to alter the scratch-plate on the Jazz as one has already discarded it in favour of a cleaner look on the old jalopy; but as one does not believe in all this tone-control nonsense one will not need much in the way of a wiring loom; it's all in the finger-tips, don't-cha-know...

You Scots are sounding too English.

FIT?

Awa' an bile yer heid, min!

So ah'm playing ma bass at a gig an' 'is loon saunters up tae me and sais "fit wye de ye play a Gibson bass?  Ah heard they wir gash."  Weel, ah'm nae een tae back awa' fae a debate but kennin' ah'm spikkin' tae a payin' customer, ah tak's it easy on the boy.  "Weel, ye heard wrang.  Ye'll ken foo wrang ye are fan ye hear me play".  So ah plays ma set and efter the boy comes bak' up tae me, lookin' a' sheepish.  "Aht wis brilliant, min!  Fit bass!  Fit soun'!  Ah'm awa' hame tae brak' up ma' Fenders and chuck 'em on the fire", he sais.  "Weel", sais I, "ye dinna hae tae dae that min, fit wye nae try baith an' see fit ye like the best?  Let's hae a beer an' nae mind that we ivver hid this conversation."

I can switch it on and off.  You should hear me and my dad when I go home to the 'shire.  To be fair, I rarely write in it, so it's probably horrible and phonetic, and my sincere apologies to those who know much better than me.

I'm half English and Highlander is a White McSettler... not a good start.

Ken might be headed for Scottish nationality, but that is better than being beheaded for Scottish nationality.

Heid loppit richt aff!  Tatties ower the side!

Ordered mine on Dec. 14th via eBay.  Still not here yet.  Seller asks me to be patient, tracking says it's still in transit.  I hope so!     Based on reviews, i want to order more.

Scots are easy to understand.
