I'm about to sorta step back in time and get an EB-0 (SS), possibly in a trade for my Squier VM Jaguar SS that I've never quite bonded with completely. I had a 66 Gibby EB-3 (SS) that I shouldn't have sold, so it'll be like 'old home week'. Kinda. Sorta. Maybe.

That EB-0 is a nice axe. See if you can get a Sunn 200S and a cab with a good JBL 15" to go with it! :thumbsup:

The only EB I want is the original EB1 violin bass but, that it out of the question $'s wise. I will just have to be satisfied with my Rogue (late edit: a Sunn 200S and a cab with a good JBL 15" would be nice as well...

Good morning GOF's. Please report in if all fingers, toes, appendages are accounted for. I have a three day weekend coming up. Labor Day. Which means Carey will have me laboring in the spare bedroom and shed! :laugh: I think I already mentioned we got a special deal on some meats from omahasteaks.com so I told Carey I'll do the cooking this weekend. Hot dogs, salad, burgers, salad, on Monday, ribs and salad. We've discovered as we got older that salad is really important. Played my new old bass until 12:00am when Carey finally yelled out-- "Turn it off now!" I'm really enjoying the active bass now that it's working with a (ahem) new battery. As I mentioned before, I'm so glad I got this bass. I didn't even realize how much extra excellent tone I was missing using economy basses. This one wasn't a $2,500 bass for sure, but it did sound much more refined defined and growly than my SR500 and SR300E. So what say ye, GOF's-- what do you have planned for this Labor Day? Remember be safe please!

It's too early to tell what I'll be doing. I'm not making pizza tomorrow so maybe I'll get to buy one. There are always things to fix and I have some work work to do. Hopefully, Saturday night will be playing.

Was scheduled to see my orthopedic surgeon Tuesday to finalize the joint fusion procedure for my right foot. It's osteoarthritis, no cartilage remains at the joint (same as whut took my knees), and I deferred the scheduled February surgery on account of a different condition :meh: That's all cleared up (or enough to go forward) AND

the surgeon is out for a family emergency so the presurgery appointment is now pushed out to the day the originally scheduled for the procedure. Strange world.

What you don't know won't hurt you.

Tentative road trip tomorrow to buy/trade a bass. Then over to Orlando to see family tomorrow night and back here Saturday, possibly to play with my new-to me-acquisition. And watch hockey. And maybe some baseball. Round trip ~375 miles. No BFD, I used to that much-or more-5 nights a week.
Pulled pork and cheese grits in Orlando(OK, Winter garden)@ The Crooked Can Brewery.

I love those sort of road trips. Especially when you get a new toy. Hope it works out....and don't forget to do a smell test.

Seems as if my various bits are all present and funtional. Weekends are like any other day for me. I retired from my day job in June of 2006, and the parrot thing is even more daily than the New York Times.

A more than casual relationship between bird cages and the daily paper has been reliably observed.
