@codycoyote1959.bsky.social Happy Birthday, Susie!

Little Joe, my second bass build, my main gigging bass for the last few years I was a Mood Swinger. Pawlownia wood body (incredibly light) from GFS, neck bought from a guy on the TDPRI, handmade Peter Florance VooDoo P-Bass pickup.

They are, left to right:

Pinky, the bass I built for Cindy Toth. I can’t remember where the body came from or what kind of wood (probably poplar, it’s pretty light). The neck is from a 1973 Fender Musicmaster Bass, and the pickup (which sounds amazing) is a GFS alnico humbucker.

I was doing some repair work to one of my basses and thought it would be cool to take a picture of the herd. These are my short scale basses, I have two P-Basses too, that will be for sale soon.

Details in the comments below.

I won’t have the details until tomorrow (like my specific destination), but I’ll be taking a load of furniture out to California next week. I checked the weather forecast and it looks pretty good.

Sorry! I’ll do better. 😎

I’m thinking strongly of quitting Facebook entirely and moving over here, just to get away from the toxic environment. In the meantime, here’s a picture of the snow in Denton, Texas, seen from my truck.

Rolling out in a minute with a load of dog food bound for delivery to a Walmart distribution center to Plainview in west Texas (between Lubbock and Amarillo). I’m aiming to spend the night in a rest area in Abernathy, not far north of Lubbock.

I’m in Baytown, Texas to pick up a load. Usually it’s huge tubs of synthetic rubber from this place. Today it looks to be pallets of 50 lb bags of something. I guess I’ll find out what it is when they give me the paperwork. Anyway, it’s going up to Behr Paint in Roanoke, Texas (north of Fort Worth).

I guess I need to actually post stuff to make this worthwhile. I’ll try harder, I promise!

So I’m home alone (in Mesquite, Texas), just had a little dinner and most of a bottle of old vine Zinfandel. I have a nice but manageable buzz going.

I have what I’d describe as a friendly relationship with alcohol. I don’t drink very often, or very much, and rarely (but occasionally) to excess.

First post. Nothing to say just yet, except hello!
