    Gibson - $50,000 Reissue of Greeny - Huh?

    Does seeing Jimi in San Diego twice and bumping into Mr.T (literally as he got off an elevator) count?

    NBD - a 1979 Peavey T-40 as a birthday present to myself

    Very nice. While it’s not a bass I finally found my first 6 string (1966 Silvertone 1439L) on Reverb. The guitar sold for $84.95 in the sears or wards catalog. They didn’t produce many so finding survivors in playable condition are rare.

    Are there any songs you refuse to play? And why?

    Almost forgot we had another club mgr on Okinawa who stopped us playing Cocaine. We stopped took a break and came back on and played it but substituted “kool-aid” in place of cocaine.

    We had a local club owner that wouldn’t let any band play Mustang Sally. He didn’t care how good or what version you played. If you started it he stopped ya and banned ya from future gigs.

    Looking at used basses is just so depressing lately...

    Best Female Singing Voice

    Not a big fan of KD but an old high school musician friend of mine (Gregg Arriguine - may he RIP) toured with her. Came off tour and found out he had cancer and died not long after. So sad he was an awesome guitar player.

    Resurrection Thread- Anyone own only ONE bass?

    Bought a Fender Mustang back in 2005 which is my only bass. Tried a few others and they didn’t play or sound as good for some reason. Maybe one day I’ll find one I like better.

    Gibson SG Reissue bass white

    Have wanted an SG bass since I was in High School so I found one that I liked at a guitar center out of state. Listing showed great condition for around $870. Called and spoke with staff about it. Guy said he was looking right at it and looked good. Unfortunately it wasn't the same bass. Long...
