Ah but what about the tonewoods? *runs away quickly*

Not FX as such, but I've decided that I'm going to replace the volume pedal on my board with a homebrewed buffered mute switch with tuner output. The mute LED will flash, just make sure that I can't miss it. I only ever use the volume pedal as an on-off anyway, so it makes zero sense to keep it really and I might as well get some cash for it instead. Plus I already have all the bits I need to make the mute box.

At Casa Rich, said vegetable is pronounced (with tongue firmly in cheek) as arse-para-goose.

The correct name is 'Jaaaaaaag', as any fule kno.

As I understand, it's Folks-vargen - the 'o' in folks is short as in 'doll'.

I did perform a few mods/changes on my Wal Pro 2E... fitted a D-tuner, fitted Schaller straplock buttons, swapped the pickup toggle switch for a rotary one. I kept the original parts and these changes have now been reversed (apart from the strap buttons, and it'd take seconds to change those), and it's back to factory stock. Many years ago I did contemplate having the pickups and electrics changed to Custom spec, I'm glad I didn't.

Last time we played there, some drunk idiot flashed his flaccid knob at our frontlady... She pointed at it and laughed, and as he was being thrown out she called "I wouldn't show that pathetic thing to too many people if I were you sweetheart".

Just lost a tiny bit of weight... ganglion removed from left middle digit. Had it years but it was becoming a real pain in the arse. Finger. Whatever.

I have a ganglion in my right hand, just underneath my little fingers. It used to flare up when I (an electrician) rewired properties and used my SDS hammer drill to chisel out chases in brick for cables. I would get pain up my arm for several days afterwards and it would stop me sleeping.
Most of my work these days involves inspection and testing, with a lot less 'house bashing' so now it's not noticeable but its not gone away.
Hope you recover from your surgery quickly.

My Pro 2E has two carbon rods running the length of the neck... I think EW had abandoned these by the time the Customs got well into production?

Yes, there's been a lot of debate on the other thread... general consensus is that the stock one looks lazy and that almost anything else would be better. The Starcaster h'stock seems to be popular, but the Tele one works quite well too. Even the old 80s pointy Performer one would be better.

I was going to suggest the Korg Pandora PX4B, mine is just the ticket... but they appear to be going for silly money when they pop up on fleaBay.

@BRIAN RICHARDS @joeabass Please discuss all trades via PM and not on the thread. Thanks. Site rule 16.(c) refers. -
I would absolutely definitely take the Wal-ish as it sounds right now, it's as close to the original as dammit is to swearing. Obviously I'd take the Wal too because I love 'em, but you should definitely be proud of achievements so far. As eude says above, if you had the pickups & innards built into a multilaminate neck & body akin to the Wal it'd sound just right. Get thee to Mr Shuker/Cringean/otherluthiersareavailable. And stop posting videos of how good it sounds, because you're making me want one

Which 5 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2022 Inductees?
Rich replied to hiram.k.hackenbacker's topic in General Discussion
Quite frankly astounded that Carly Simon isn't in there already. My 5 were Carly, Kate, Dolly, MC5, Fela. -
Oh for god's sake. Why couldn't you have told us it was crap? Why? Now I can hear my credit card whimpering from the other room. Rack ears do look a bit, errm, yes... I think I'd be getting busy with the T-Cut to get rid of the logo.

My pleasure Jon. As I said when I dropped it off, if there's ever something you need, gimme a shout and I'll help if I can. I'm only just down the road. And your granddaughter is an absolute sweetheart..!

I have two or three similarly dented basses (there's even a couple on my Wal ), none of those are through to the wood either. There are dents, and there are dents. -
