Cheers Pick and Poorness studios I broke it yesterday as the pins pull out real easy from the AS 104's...A label over that stick on copper foil has to be the way forwrard but you need a support for the cable and hot glue as it breaks too easily. I had to use a noise gate too. but cheap and easy to mess with.

Good to see that little Bug again.  Powerful music as art.  I DON'T like it.   LOL.  It's powerful and good, but I don't like it.   Pretty cool pickup and plank.

Snug as a Bug on a drug Bug. Ligoobrious melting Blue Groove. I have dissolved into a quivering mass. Thanks man...
