P've got a Bare Knuckle Mule pickup in the neck of my Special FM. The previous owner put it in. It kills. Very sweet at lower volumes, and nice and throaty when the volume comes up. I'd call them high end pickups. And damn good ones, too. Edit to add link: http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/ZH-themule.html

Ehhh. What's in a name anyhow?

Okay, I figured it out. Steve Miller at Red Rocks! I've always liked him (even in the Joker-Abracadabera stage, kinda) and I expect that, with age, his playing is super tasteful these days. But still ROCK!

Mine got here today! My wife left, my car was repossessed and my dog got run over. Oh wait..... I was holding them upside down, Serious, they feel and sound really good. Thanks cmatthes and the HFC!

Happy Birthdays!

+1.

How about a set neck T-51? Not that I could afford it, but....

No detail too small. Love it!

Very inspired! And it blew me away when I read there were no keyboards used. Wild. Thanks for sharing, ZMB!

Any updates on the latest shipment?

Hamer (used) gets my money until I finds something better. I haven't yet, at least not for the money.

Not yet sure who I'd want to see, but I know I'd want it to be at Red Rocks Amphitheatre: http://www.redrocksonline.com/

The PO in Anchorage, at the airport, is open 24/7, 365 days/year.

I was wondering if you got this, Conrad. No matter who got it, they got it at an incredible price....

A follow-up... Years (and years) ago I was told that a motor started on "regular" oil, say for the first 50k miles, should not be switched to synthetic oil as leaks and other bad things could happen. True?

And it's black! Congrats on the gorgeous Standard!

Jeez, that BIN is cheap for one of these!

A heckuva price, IMO. I have no idea where it'll end up, but if it goes for under 2k, it was a bargain.
