I'll see your Vinnie Vincent and raise you two Michael Jacksons. "What's all that noise outside? What is that terrible smell?" "It looks like the dead have come back to life, love." "What are they doing?" "They're dancing at some terrified young one, love. One of them looks a bit like that Michael Jackson. Go back to sleep."

Dean Exotica... didn’t he play in Tigertailz for a while?

Well, if you don’t ask you’ll never know 🙂

So, not quite right then but still not as bad as the pictures would lead you to believe? 🤣

Sell it and knock a few years off the mortgage.

If the threads come up far enough, put a washer between the blend pot and bottom of the control plate, which should bring the overall height down and allow you to have everything just right. It would get to me, too 😉

The only box set I've ever gone for like that is for Pet Sounds, but you got isolated harmony vocal tracks, breakdowns of the orchestration, a great insight into a very complex and layered album. For a straightahead rock band, a power trio essentially, it seems a bit much. It's more like selling everything they could find related to it.

You have cash? They want it.

Yamaha developed a process called A.R.E. which follows this line of thought. They used it on the highly regarded BB2024 basses

Why not get one and add a second pickup in the Stingray spot? It looks like there is space to get it in the authentic Stingray position. More is more, after all.

It's ok, nothing amazing, though some interesting nuggets if you're into SY

15/15 I have even read her book 😉

3 minutes in and the only thing, other than time, you’ll be hearing is a year’s worth of finger biocrud and fatigued strings?

$2.49 each here https://lovemyswitches.com/solid-aluminum-knob-the-eagle-black-16-x-19mm/ I've bought from these guys a few times, very reliable and, provided you don't blow the rent on them, you should come in under the import duty radar.

Perhaps you’re thinking of the plexi strat in the Get Lucky video which matches the plexi bass? What gets used in videos frequently does not correspond to what was used to record.

50-something... it’s called The Hitmaker and has a GDP which would put most countries to shame 😂

The gap, for reference

The bridge is the correct Accucast B IV bridge. It’s possible the route is to allow for the previous Omni-adjust model they used on the SRs and the route is as they were transitioning from one to the other but it’s no biggie either way. You will not notice a difference in sound if you try to realign it. It’s fine as it is, it really is. Here is an example of both.

Best Madness tribute is in Madrid... Juan Step Beyond

Blue None. Meh.

I once had a buyer complain that removing the neck broke the “factory seal”, that once the neck had been removed it could never be put back on with the same mojo sorcery as they do in the factory. Were it neck-through, I would have agreed with him but this was a standard bolt-on instrument out of Fujigen and I was slightly concerned for his mental wellbeing.

Would you think the same if you had the name first and the roles were reversed? It sounds like you’re trying to justify yourself “borrowing” a name already in use. Just take it on the chin and come up with something of your own. You’ll be happier in the long run.

IBAN bank transfer or cash. I would never accept Paypal when there is going to be no shipping receipt.
