That BLMS sticker rocks. As far as I know, he's not making those anymore; now they just say "Love My Switches". I guess he pussed out. I still have some of the old square style styickers, not sure if I have any of the cool round ones like that. So pleasing how nice it fits on your project.

Hahaha, no. I was relying on someone else to provide sound on that date. Nice amp though.Indeterminacy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2023 3:48 pmTell me one of those arms carried a DC-300A:crochambeau wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 8:40 am I've played shows recently the involve me walking into venue carrying everything I will use in one trip with two arms.

Re: Build Shit - DIY - What's On Your Bench?
This should be fun.
I've had this headstock for 30 odd years. I placed it on a peg
on the wall that my bench is screwed too. That peg was a convenient
place in the moment that was used again under the same circumstances
that resulted in out of sight out of mind syndrome. For quite a while.

Oh hey! Looks like a late 1970s Gibson RD standard bass headstock. I look forward to seeing what you build with it.Indeterminacy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 5:49 am This should be fun.

The possibility of the gathering whole bass proper is on my mind.crochambeau wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 6:05 am Oh hey! Looks like a late 1970s Gibson RD standard bass headstock. I look forward to seeing what you build with it.

Re: Build Shit - DIY - What's On Your Bench?
Do you mean recombining the original parts? Not out of the question, I'll have to look back and see what I've got into it. It's still unassembled, I was quoted an estimate of $650-950 from a local luthier and other stuff keeps eating down the gear budget - so it remains body, an unworked neck blank from 1981, an a hard shell case that's probably better off staying with me because DIM weight shipping charges will probably over reach the value of the case.Indeterminacy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 1:04 pmThe possibility of the gathering whole bass proper is on my mind.crochambeau wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 6:05 am Oh hey!

You can keep the case.

Not sure what you mean here about other parts. I've got the complete body (with electronics still mounted) and a neck blank.
