I just ordered an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 CPU, an Intel DG965WH motherboard, a Crucial 1GB PC5300 DDR2 RAM kit, and a PNY GeForce 7600GS 256MB GDDR2 video card from NewEgg.com. It should be here around the middle of next week. I'm so excited I could pee! From all indications the Core 2 Duo line of CPUs screams and I can't wait to get my new rig set up. This occasion also marks the first time I've used an Intel processor since roughly 1999. To normal folks, this means nothing. To a geek like me, it's Christmas 2.0.
I modified the after market black pick guard I bought for my Jazz Bass so that it would fit. I don't think it was an issue with the guard so much as the people who drilled the holes for the control plate may have been on the sauce, because the stock pick guard doesn't even line up right. Whatever! The bass looks sweet. There's something about the black pick guard with natural finish look - ala Marcus Miller - that's just hot.
