Hey - another Oct. 14 Libra!

[David Houck]

I don't remember stuff very well, but I don't recall seeing this one before.  It's from Paul's pics.
 

 
Is this on the board and my brain cells are corrupted?  If not, the electronics are intriguing.

Looks like standard Europa/rogue package in an interesting configuration to me. (then again, it's 02.40 here and my eyes are numb from staring at network diagrams since 11pm.)

Graeme; look on the other side of the strings.

[jacko]

Pickup selector perhaps? I thought it was a sticker or finger wear at first.

[David Houck]

It's a small picture, and maybe it's a reflection; but it looks like a switch plate, like the 5-way switches on guitars.

[jacko]

I concur. How are you feeling by the way. I bet you were devastated not to have been there, I'm still green with envy.

[David Houck]

I'm feeling great; thanks!  And I'm really happy for everyone that attended.  And I did get to have an intimate discussion with the bathroom floor!  Life just is; and even if you're curled up on the bathroom floor, you experience that and move forward from there.  Even if you're not where you had planned to be, where you are is always a pretty amazing experience.

Dave,
 
Any chance it might be this bass? Notice the switch plate on the guitar next to it?

Dave, that should be Mica's Essence with kingwood top and cherry core.
I remember her saying it has a slightly smaller body compared the standard.

[elwoodblue]

That's some tricky photography in the first little picture. Dave is doubly right...it's a reflection and a knife switch.

[David Houck]

Hah!!!  I thought it was some kind of super secret five way EQ boost switch.

yep - it is Mica's ultra polish job that is showing the reflection of the Further next to it.

 
It kinda does look pretty cool - but I'm certain that a switch there would be getting knocked all around.
 
Dave - good to hear you are feeling better - we needed no moderating as everyone was on their best behavior... I remembered to breathe! Except for when that infamous 4 x 21 cabinet did the breathing for me!!!
