Vaughn,
Ordered this pickup today:

I hope it's got plugs on it, and I don't end up having to solder all those wires!
I did see an ebow in a music shop this morning. Don't think that's what he's talking about. I'm going to try Dave's idea. Picked up the raw material for it while I was out. This stuff ends up taking us to some pretty wierd places sometimes...
Odd, but it seems like that kind of store is generally in the same neighborhoods as guitar shops... who knew?
Can't imagine what they have in common.
He did confirm he is truly serious about the vial of his own blood. Doorlink mentioned it to the guy in the guitar store, who didn't bat an eyelash. He said "oh, just like x, and x, and x..." rattling off names I guess I was supposed to recognize. Something about queen and journey...
As for woodworking, it ain't gonna be next week that Thomas gets into it. He lives in a basement apt in NYC, and he's all synthsizers and writing the next song. If you want to see one of his videos, try this:

He's the one playing the keytar, not the singer (who's actually a pretty good guy, very sober and serious, in contrast to their onstage personas). Warning: the video is not for the faint of heart! You have been warned!
I wonder if I haven't bitten off more than I can chew on this one? Guess I'll go buy a soldering gun, and start finding out...
Thanks,
Bill
