Axe #1 - my Jackson Frankenstein. Re wired it all with high output pickups.

Dig that...same here...cause back in the day things might go flying that were habitually un-cooperative...lmao

Some great sounding guitars! I don't know if you've ever read anything on them or the founder - but as a techy I get into that stuff: Jackson Guitars - Wikipedia Grover Jackson - Wikipedia ~ ~ ~ ~ Speaking of modifications – I Had a piezo bridge installed on my Kramer fretless and it gives the strings a very organic wooden tone. The factory DiMarzio P Bass pickup sounds great and the guitar tech installed a mixing knob so I can blend piezo bridge with DiMarzio…still have another modification on the docket - I bought a thing called Black Ice from Amazon – it’s an on-board battery-free overdrive for bass or guitar…holding off on installing it for several reasons: still haven’t decided how I want to integrate it with a switch to change options or cut it off, the wiring diagram lists several ways to wire it up for options on lighter or heavier distortion – and I want ALL the options – so I have a 12-pole rotary switch on my Wishlist – and want to rig up a temporary model with flying leads coming out the electronics access panel on the back of the body – experiment before I make anything permanent – and since It will necessitate the addition of at least one more control knob on the front side – I’ll wait until I’ve got the body “re-stained”…which brings me to the next project: This is an older picture of my Kramer (before piezo bridge installed- note the 3rd mixing knob is not there) was originally a burnt orange color ( at least that’s what I called it ). I stripped off the finish, used a propane torch to give it some darker tones, then clear-coated it…now I’m wanting to give a very light hint of colors here and there – which means I’ll have to remove the clear-coat…and consult my wife for a color scheme …I’m thinking some really just a hint of a really light wash of some greens, reds and yellows…but that’s just my thinking…and I’m open to suggestions…(I'll post a newer picture of Kramer & Yamaha Bass and effects pedal in another post) (note: the old-fart addition of wheels on the bottom of the Peavey amp – a no-no cuz it disconnects the bass amp feature of further transmitting the low-end frequencies when touching the floor – but it’s great for me rolling this bad boy around the house wherever I want to jam...also that's our old dog T-Bone - he was named after me - listening to his master's bass - this belongs on the Absent Bass Player thread ...the picture cuts off our other dog Boo Radley - they were brother and sister...Boo was the silent assassin...we had two different contractors come by to bid work on our pool - and she quietly followed us around - and when I went to let contractor out of gate, Boo quickly walked up behind and bit the guys on the a$$ - no torn clothing - no blood drawn - but surprised us both) The backstory on my getting this Kramer goes back to my first year in-residence. I brought into the corps my Peavey amp and a Fender Squire P Bass. We were sent as Light bearers to southern Chicago. I was in a music store there and spotted this used Kramer fretless. Played it and fell in love. Talked to the store owner about trading my Fender Squire. (Also Loved the idea of an aluminum neck since I had a bad experience of having a Gibson EB3 Bass – my model was one of the only years – I think – when they set up the tuning pegs perpendicular to the headstock – like on an acoustic standup bass…maybe it was a bad design or a combo of a bad design on the hard-shell case - cuz the tip of the tuning pegs pushed the headstock upwards – and the glued-on neck developed a bow in it…sold it – and bought a Fender Jazz bass…gave that away when I went WOW and slowly worked my way back to getting some decent gear) Anyway…when we got back to Rome City – I talked the assistant corps coordinator to let me and the elder corps / drummer in our band Fred B drive back to Chicago and make the trade.

The following passages in a few parallel versions reflect the same idea of wierwille being driven by his own lusts, influenced by satanic doctrines, lacking sympathy and empathy, and exploiting others: New International Version Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. ~ ~ ~ ~ 28Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, a which he bought with his own blood. b 29I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. 31So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears. Acts 20 NIV (biblehub.com) ~ ~ ~ ~ New International Version The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. New Living Translation Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. Amplified Bible But the [Holy] Spirit explicitly and unmistakably declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful and seductive spirits and doctrines of demons, Doctrines of devils is NOT demonology – the study of the devil and demonic spirits – but rather it’s false teachings that originate from devils. ~ ~ ~ ~ New International Version Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. New Living Translation These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead. Amplified Bible [misled] by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared as with a branding iron [leaving them incapable of ethical functioning] ~ ~ ~ ~ New International Version Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. II 2 Corinthians 4 NIV (biblehub.com) Amplified Bible But we have renounced the disgraceful things hidden because of shame; not walking in trickery or adulterating the word of God, but by stating the truth [openly and plainly], we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. 2 Corinthians 4 Amplified Bible (biblehub.com) ~ ~ ~ ~ 1But [in those days] false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will subtly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2Many will follow their shameful ways, and because of them the way of truth will be maligned. 3And in their greed they will exploit you with false arguments and twisted doctrine. 2 Peter 2 Amplified Bible (biblehub.com) ~ ~ ~ ~ 7Brothers and sisters, together follow my example and observe those who live by the pattern we gave you. 18For there are many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, who live as enemies of the cross of Christ [rejecting and opposing His way of salvation], 19whose fate is destruction, whose god is their belly [their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their vanity], and whose glory is in their shame--who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things. Philippians 3 Amplified Bible (biblehub.com) ~ ~ ~ ~ FYI: Thought I’d use a certain Grease Spotter’s “bottoms up” approach…a dubious little delight from the NT canon thread

So, it's real easy to claim abstractly that there was "good" in the ministry. Let's hear some specifics of this "good" you claim everybody's ignoring.

105. Picks at perceived harmony of the gospel errors to establish the teacher as the only one in Christianity that “got that right”. Next logical error “if you can’t trust them on 4 crucified how can you trust them on the details of the new birth?” Next step in the path down - splinter off from other Christian fellowship contact and communication and allow a cult to assume spiritual authority for you.
