Should be a pretty cool concert down on the lakefront. Sneak myself in some beers and have a nice chill evening.

Okay to continue the guitar talk, I swapped the Gibson Meastro that I got from Best Buy, that wouldn't stay in tune and didn't sit in my lap right when sitting with it to a...

Squire Strat SE Which was on clearance as a kit from Best Buy, only cost me 20 exta bux. Last one in the district.



So, yeah.

Yeah, I can't wait to see just how poo poo I am at hitting the right notes without frets. It's gonna take some practice but I'm sure I'll get it eventually. I'm really hoping that the last 25 years haven't been a total waste, you know? I've also been a Spector user for 20 of those 25 years, so I've got my fingers crossed that my familiarity with the neck and body shape will help. And hey, since I now know there are other folks here who like Spectors (and since I really like showing them off) here are some pics of the two USA made NS-2s (both from the Kramer era) I have now:

A group shot:



A close up of the tobacco sunburst one (made around Halloween 1990), which I've had since 1994:



(can you believe this bass is 24 years old?)

And a close up of the oil finish one (made sometime in 1987/88), which I've had since about 1998:



(I hope it's ok to post pics of stuff we already have; if not I'll be happy to edit them out)


I'm definitely not gonna cheap out on the labor for converting the NS-2A. That would just render the whole project a big 'ol waste of money, and as you can tell from what I just posted I don't really tolerate lovely workmanship on my instruments. I haven't really poked around the Musician's Lounge all that much (except for an occasional foray into the gear exchange thread) so maybe I'll have a look at the bass thread and post some progress pics once the bass arrives and I've had the work done.

These fuckers better thicken up my Ibanez Prestige RG2550.

Why not a Black Hawk in the neck? I like low output neck pickups and when it comes to price, BG's can't be beat for that.

I bought several spices and 12 oz of Tilapia to make some lunch today.

http://www.101cookingfortwo.com/grilled-blackened-tilapia/ Here's the recipe I used, It was very tasty but I think next time I do it, I'll only coat one side of the fish. It ended up way overpowering the flavors of the fish
