Re: My new Bass

Thanks for the info. There's only one thing left to do to my new baby & tha=
t's a good setup, When I get down to the Bay area on Thursday, for Band pra=
ctice. I'll drop it off with my tech & he'll take care of that. Then, as so=
on as I get it back, it's going to be sharing playing time with my beloved =
75 reissue. I know some people would say, why don't you do it yourself. I w=
ould, but I really suck at doing set-ups. The last time I tried to do my ow=
n set-up, was on my Gibson T-Bird & I managed to rip out the Bridge. That w=
as an expensive repair that could of been avoided. So after that, I said: f=
rom now, I'm going to let my tech take care set-ups & things like that. He =
used to work for the Doobies Brothers as their tech, from The Captain & Me =
up until Living On The Fault-Line. He's real good & knows how I like my set=
-ups, plus I've known Mark for about fifteen years. After he finished the r=
epair to my T-Bird , you can't even tell that I ripped out the bridge & it'=
s a white T-Bird with black hardware too. That's why it's going to Mark, in=
stead of me doing it & possibly damaging it.
