Jean-Luc Pickguard

I always use card from whatever packaging I have saved for this purpose sitting amongst the pile of junk on my desk. I do not believe this can possibly cause a ski jump and have never experienced this although I've shimmed well over a dozen of my basses and guitars.

...no disrespect intended — I have been known to use a music stand & bits of paper

Just to clear up a common misconception, the bisonic pickups are actually single coils, the screws that look like a second row of pole pieces are actually just screws to adjust the height of the real pole pieces.

The Ship's A Going Down — The Residents

The Dukes of Stratosphear stuff is pretty damn good as well

Five-O-Ford — The Reverend Horton Heat

I just like making a lot of noise.

Crispy Fried Air is based around a simple | Am | / | G | / | F | G | C | / | chord sequence and features Drums from Logic's Scientific Method+ set, My Bitza Precision using Logic's SVT emulation, Logic's B3 organ, and Logic's Studio Grand Piano. There was originally also a guitar track, however it cluttered up the mix so I took it out.

The mustang bass in this range looks cool — especially the red one, however the spaghetti logo has absolutely no business in being on the headstock of a mustang bass. I'm not at all fussed about a fender needing to be made in the USA to be a serious instrument. I own a vintera mustang bass, two vintera strats, a vintera tele, a player series mustang bass, 3x JMJ mustang basses, and a Ben Gibbard Mustang guitar and they are all proof that the Ensenada factory is making absolutely fantastic instruments. My next purchase is very likely to be another Fender Mexico one, a Lake Placid Blue Vintera II Bass VI (if a secondhand one pops up at a price that makes sense)

I must admit to being rather irked whenever I see how the bass player was generated on the Enterprise-D's holodeck.

Have you tried playing air bass?

Rhino is now selling albums on reel to reel to make it even more of a hassle https://store.rhino.com/en/rhino-store/special-edition-shops/reel-to-reel/?pdshow=true&eml=2025October10/6909709/6134371&etsubid=223450362

Baby, I'll Come Right Away — Madeline Bell

I have a Rolf signed stylophone in a cupboard somewhere. He even drew a rolfaroo on it.

Better Be Quiet Now — Elliott Smith

Price-wise it's in the same ballpark and sits neatly between the JMJ mustang & Nate Mendel Precision, and if its anything like those two quality-wise it should a cracker.
