I have an earlier one (single/single, vol, tone). Wondering how you like the vol/vol setup. Never tried one of those with the neck humbucker (I don't pretend to play bass, either), but it just seems odd to me to have no tone control. But Leo knew what he was doing, obviously.... Thoughts?
I'm not good enough musically to contribute much with regard to local music education. But my 8 year old has been taking group guitar lessons this past year, and I sit in on the classes and help the kids get and keep their guitars in tune which I suppose give the teacher a bit more time to do the teaching. Does this count?
Thanks for your nomination. I look forward to providing a bit of mid-day distraction next week! - ed

My youngest daughter took Violin lessons but they don't offer it at Jr. High/Middle School ~ so she's looking to switch to clarinet so she could be in the band. My 2nd oldest daughter played clarinet as well, so I'm sure there's some influence there.
My son, despite the fact I bought him a guitar when he was 3 days old which he has ~ plays no instrument. But loves classical music and we've gone to several performances with him ~ most recently 1812 Overture done by the Jr. High Band that he loved.
As a P.S.: His best friend plays in the Jazz band and plays a G&L JB-2 fretless that sounds killer!

I’m also not sold on GPS yet. I don’t like the lagging speed readings or having to removing the GPS when I park and leave. A bike computer wouldn’t have the lag and could stay on the handlebars at all times.
