That's the stock EMG BTC (bass-treble control) knob. I bought that bass new, and I was told it was a 'deluxe', maybe they just called it that because it had the EMG's. List was about $2300 (per the store tag), -no kidding, and it had been 'on sale' (street priced) for $1699 for a long time before I bought it. Mine is quite a bit lighter than the few others I've played. I called Bassnw and they got me a white pickguard for just under $50 shipped, but that was a few years ago now.

Who got the good deal? Those are so nice! Wanna see one w/ a white pickguard?, you do?, ok:

I can't believe how affordable those great basses have become. How many crappy basses are in that price range?! If I didn't already have one....

You have my sincere condolensces, and prayers on the way.

It's written in pen. Here's a low-res teaser from '03...

I'm poised over the calender w/ a pen, Aug 6th looks good! ????

I just did a head-count, and I'll be bringing 10 Hamers this year, a new personal best!

jeffr; Gig Harbor is at least 45 minutes from SeaTac, which would leave you very little time for gear geeking and bean eating. It would be very cool for you to make it, but any traffic or a long line at security and you'd likely miss your flight. I vote the 27th! (unless we could combine it w/ my Moms birthday party? ).

-prayers sent.

I can't count the times I've almost grabbed a tube of Desitin instead of toothpaste... I've always caught myself in time.

It's fine if you're an old timer w/ more than 10 posts, but don't post your prs crap here if you've only got 5 posts! -more seriously, it would be in poor taste for a total non-hfc'er to join up just to post an ad for some random gear. I'm sure you're cool to list any gear fs you want to.
