you forgot to tell him about the manditory ash quaranteen, followed by reacclimation period, and then the rehydration...these all take time with a natural. Dont worry bigballz if someone doesn't screw it up it shouldn't be more than a year. If some one scratches it we have to start over. Hopefully we can avoid the radial tuning the second time around

It takes longer because they have to source left handed trees.

Hey Dargin,

I ordered my HH Sterling from Jack in September. Would this be the same time frame as Phatty's HS?

Thanks a ton in advance!

Jeez I just hung up with dudley and forgot about the harmonic grain conflict and UV matching.....**** that means that we have to do the litmus configuration...make it 14 months and that is if the johnson rod is true that is about a 14% chance......If the Johnson rod is untrue we have to vacuum press the natural oils.

So, what exactly is it that you do with Johnson's Rod? And where in the factory does Johnson work? :D :D :D :D Might he be the truss rod installer, complete with personal anotomical reference, hmmmmm ? ? ? ? ? ?

Late at night, they attach Johnson's rod to Ursula, the buffing robot and....well, I'm really not supposed to talk about this here.

Its too late......yesterday at 4:00 pm they had to do two procedures with the Johnson rod on your bass....It groans a little when you try to put a strap on it though. You usually know when we had to use the rod becasue the bass has a hemmhroid pillow in the case instead of silica

Is it true that black basses usually require the use of a bigger Johnson rod than white basses do?

Just curious to know if this is reality or just a misconception.
