Well, sort-of, anyway...

It turns out that the Goodrich volume-pedal 'pot' hadn't gone south on me; I took the pedal to my pal in his Ft Myers music shop, and he called me later today to tell me.....






...the string had broken!!!

'Come and pick it up - no charge.'

Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Not so fast, Scrabble-Boy. Your failure was not bringing a spare. The case still applies. Laughing

Well!!! If you're going to keep confusing my arguments with facts...

Anyway, there was plenty of string in my golf-bag (if I'd have figured it out!)

((By the way - I just scored forty-something; pick the bones out of THAT! Laughing ))

That'd look real good at a session, re-stringing your volume pedal - "Wait - I'm pretty sure the string goes around here...." Rolling Eyes Just one more second....

Roger - I'm just curious about who you use in Ft. Myers. I am across the river in Cape Coral.
