Actually this is so fun to see one of these not crash and burn Thanks

Jack indoor plumbing was just introduced when you were new here.

Have your boss post on the forum and we will turn him around and have him give you a raise while he is at it. I have very persuasive powers!

Maybe, hopefully, it's just the case that your boss has damaged/destroyed his pickup(s) in an experiment gone wrong, and knows he can't buy "standalone" pickups from EBMM to replace them. That would be a logical explanation for this mission.

I used to have to walk 7 miles, barefoot through the snow, to find a wireless connection.

Nobody remembers when "I" was new, but that's understandable.
you were new when they found your fossils digging the foundation for this place. They didn't have eyebrows then either.

IMHO Better and cheaper...Replace your strings. The only reason I can see replacing a MM pickup would be that it's to hot. Flatwound strings tame them down.

And no computer. Jack can connect without one after walking barefoot uphill in the snow.
