Woo! All my custom string sets from #DRstrings finally came in. Along with the tapewounds from #LaBella. Maybe tonight I'll throw them on.

Also, bought a Greco GS940 #semihollow #shortscale #bass that I'm going to convert into a #fretless #cello. That'll arrive in a few weeks.

Another #electricBass will be on it's way soon. Details to follow. 😜

Oh. I decided on a whim to buy a new used #Behringer graphicEQ and #DBX compressor+limiter+noise gate. I feel like I stole them they were so cheap but, I know they were sitting around for a long time.

Traded in a hard case that came w/ my #Ibanez bass.

It's certainly been a #NGD #newGearDay !

The Crestwood Custom is a blast to play. The mini humbuckers are bright and have some bite. The tremotone tremolo is smooth. A surprisingly comfortable guitar to play. Has a nice range, from mellow jazz to Hives' "Hate to Say I Told You So" rock and roll. The neck access is the same as the SG, but the fret hand doesn't seem as far away. A real surprise and a very unique sound. I've decided any complete guitar collection must have one. 😉

Consolidated Standardized Survey-Grade Checkpoints 3DEP 2010 to 2017 [USGS]

“One of the key aspects of 3DEP data is that data is verified by a collection of certified survey-grade GNSS checkpoints spread throughout each project. These points have always been available but were difficult to find and not standardized. [The USGS] have collated and standardized almost 42,000 of these checkpoints and are making them available for other uses. These points here in this first phase span from 2010-2017, but [the USGS] are in the process of making these available for all [their] projects, and hope to enable them in different ways in the future...”

New gear!

A cheesy but fun-looking panorama camera from Lomo that takes 360* images on 35mm film.

And a new-old 35-70 Nikkor lens for the Nikkormat. I wanted a fixed 35mm 2.8 but didn’t want to spend what people were asking for a lens that old, so I snagged the zoom from GoodwillBuys for $40.

I’ve got some Delta 400 and some SFX 200, just need to go out and play!
