Better than IBS!

Was the puppet show before, or after?

IYKYK, I guess. The two pedals I ordered a few weeks ago for some reason (don't do scotch, kids) arrived this week. Neither of them sport the brand name anywhere on the exterior. I haven't opened them up to check inside.

I'm hoping that she is blissfully unaware that there is a subset of men who would be glad to obtain some used ladies' shoes regardless of size, so that she won't diminish your advantage in the marketability area.

I see that this pic must be a panorama mode artifact, but that would be a bad-ass room.

Love it when HFC enabling pays off! Congrats and enjoy!

Glad to see you popping back in!

Wish that was in color so the M&Ms could be inspected...

More worried about spotting the undies.

No, but I saw them in 1989 in the amphitheater they played in Atlanta when Pete responded to the crowd's urging for another encore by telling us to go home and get some sleep. Other whipping-up-the-enthusiam remarks were some head shakes about how, without Keith, it was no longer like it used to be. We young bucks missed all the good times.

And again. Even the T-shirt.

I don't know. I bought it off eBay and changed out the pickups and pots for new stuff, can't remember why at this point. Pretty sure I didn't put the plate in, though. It's an '86.

A fine herd! Wishing you all the best for the battle.

OK, so cap is on the rearmost pot. Looking down on that pot as we are in the picture, the left terminal is empty. The center terminal connects the blue wire coming from the center pot to the blue wire going to the barrel connector. The capacitor itself is bridging the right terminal to ground on the surface of the pot (together with the black wires connecting to the other potentiometer surfaces and the barrel connector plus the green wire connecting the pot surface to the shielding plate).

Here's mine. I played with a soldering iron too, but I doubt that years-ago-me made any executive decisions to change the scheme.

Congrats and enjoy! My high school owned its own bass, so while that meant I didn't have to buy one, it also meant that I didn't have one of my own, and I can tell you that I have not given a single thought to recreating that old Peavey. I'm glad things worked out for you.

Why not Judith Priestess?

Thank you! I was recalling SubTone from the very earliest time of my renewed awareness of Hamer, 12 years ago or so, and I saw one of those on Reverb. I recall someone here (in my earliest days of awareness of the HFC, yadda yadda) characterizing it as "the answer to a question that is rarely asked" or some such.

Barbaro!

Hooray!

Just seeing this. I hope everything went well and recovery is underway.

Looks like I followed the wide, well-paved road. First up an NMI acoustic (dreadnought?), that's Nashville Musical Instruments, with the highest action in three counties, gifted to me by mom and dad. Thanks again! And lessons - guitar teacher wanted to teach me Eagles songs. Of course that wasn't what I really wanted, and a while later I was allowed to spend my own lawn mowing money (and assisted on the classified ads meet-up in my pre-driver's license chrysalis stage by mom and dad) on a stage-used by I-know-not-who wine red Gibson Les Paul Deluxe because I had to have a Les Paul, that's what Ace played. And it was a package deal with a 100w solid state Risson combo amp, endorsed by Joe Walsh.

Twice in a row is adding insult to injury. You have my very best wishes for recovery and my admiration for your attitude. Serious question - have you thought about slide? Playing on your lap a la Jeff Healey? Making an accommodation in the face of fierce opposition isn't unthinkable, it can keep the music flowing and could be some degree of rehab to boot.
