This is great. So trebly too.

Glad to see you back and posting again, Steve!

Steve, I prefer the 70s 8.4K sound to the current 11-12k sound. I like the better clarity of the sound. That is why i had the '73 higain and the 8.6k magnetic horsey on that bass when I had it.

We have a saying about certain odd thing that happen on the island = OOG. Only On Guam. So I tune in Sunday night to see Antiques Road Show and it is in St. Paul, MN :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: which is a far cry from LA!! I'll keep watching. We're a day ahead so it'll show up sooner or later!!...

Side-to-side would be easy using the E and G strings to locate position to have the strings the same distance from the edge of the fretboard.
