RR factor?

Well I'm definitely guilty of being a little obnoxious. I kinda get maybe a little too comfortable here or something...Like I'm hangin' out with my buddies in my basement having a beer and occasionally throw out a little "barb" just for fun. Its always in the name of fun, but I can see how I might cross the line sometimes.

Sorry Harry, I didn't realize that was your bass, I think I got the pics from the Ebay auction, so technically it wasn't your bass then

.
And for the record, I don't think your bass or my five string experiments look funny, they're just different. But I do recognize that other people don't like the difference and that's ok with me.

Like the time you called me Biscuit-head, Jeff?

Hey Mark, those are definitely my pics - I bought it from Rumble Seat Music, not eBay, and I really recognize it by the telltale shadow at the bottom. I'm not the best photographer around, but I'm still pretty proud of my pictures and my basses. I think maybe I need to come up with some kind of identifying mark to put on my images...

It's all good though - I'm not mad anymore! I still think I'm going to take a break from the forum though. I'll leave you guys with an alternate headstock image:

Thanks for the clarification Harry, perhaps I should review my policy of using other peoples photos. I obviously thought they were of some interest or I wouldn't have copied them. I've used pics that Paul W. has taken and never really thought about whether it was ok or not.

Anyway, I've always thought you were a cool forumite and had some good contributions here.

Anyone can use any pic I post at anytime without permission so long as it is not used to misrepresent something.

Hey Harry, I love that doubleneck!!!

Exactly like that, John!

Why take a break Harry? Its fun to be addicted to something!*

*That you don't have to smoke, drink, snort or shoot-up, of course.

Ditto to what Jeff said!

Hey, there is a thread on the guitar side about slimmer 60s style headstocks coming out in 2007. Could this mean the end of bulbous headstocks as we know them?

rickaddict · Post by **rickaddict** » Fri May 04, 2007 3:08 am

Could be. JH has said that they have two machines cutting the bass necks. One is programmed to cut bulbous/thicker necks and the other is programmed to basically cut the C64 neck/non-bulbous. He said that eventually they'd re-program the bulbous neck-cutter machine so that they all would be like a C64 neck.

Perfect timing for the 4001V68's!
