[TBird1958]

I'll actually start a new thread just about this bass when it comes back.......10/12

 

[NOLA Bass]

That finish is just nuts!!!! As I said before, I'm not sure anyone else on here could pull that off!

Anyway, I'm in with my Lull T4!

 

[Nocturnal]

Can't wait to see that one put back together Mark

 

[Egbert89]

I'll actually start a new thread just about this bass when it comes back.......10/12

Though I don't really like finishes that don't show any grain through the laquer, this scheme would kick ass for Glamrock

 

[hillerup]

Is that your black Gibson you're getting refinished in this color?

 

[TBird1958]

Is that your black Gibson you're getting refinished in this color?

Yup!

When it comes back I'll shoot some better pics and attempt to rationalize the re-fin........

Hilarious!!!

 

[Rip Topaz]

Wow!!!

 

[hillerup]

Yup!

Looking forward to seeing the final pictures...

 

[darren1970]

WOW........

What have you refinished, a Gibbo, an Epi?

 

[TBird1958]

WOW........

What have you refinished, a Gibbo, an Epi?

1977 Gibson. It really needed paint and a new set up, it's at Mike Lull's till 10/12, can't wait to pick it up.

 

[ThaCoast]

Hey TBird, since you're the one with the massive flock of birds is there any of them that balance better than others?

 

[TBird1958]

Hey TBird, since you're the one with the massive flock of birds is there any of them that balance better than others?

Not a bad question really, but they're surprisingly similar overall, the Lull is the best of them and because of it's enormous headstock and light body the Burny is the worst - but because it's light I find it very easy to handle.
I think where my right hand rests (on the bridge) and the strap length have a lot to do with it - that and being primarily a pick player.


At Seattle's Funhouse with my Orville Thunderbird.

 

[NOLA Bass]

Okay, I doubt we'll start a whole new thread called "T-Birds behind Subaru Outbacks".However, I finally got around to taking a picture of my Lull T-4 behind my new Outback! They even match!

 

[TBird1958]

Awesome on all counts!

Beautiful bass and car - Lots of Subie love here!



You did much better than me, I tried to take some shots of the re-finned 'Bird yesterday, way too cloudy ;-/

 

[NOLA Bass]

Awesome one all counts!

Beautiful bass and car - Lots of Subie love here!



You did much better than me, I tried to take some shots of the re-finned 'Bird yesterday, way too cloudy ;-/

Hey man, that shot is all tribute to you as our fearless leader!!! It is pretty sunny today, so it was a quick snap and looked ok!

Not to get off topic, but I am absolutely loving my 2013 Outback! What a great car! It is a great gear hauler with the seat back protectors installed. I'm really enjoying it!

 

[TBird1958]

Subies are really good for gear!
Glad you like that new one.


I need one more sunny day to get some shots............Seattle went from July 22 till Oct.11 with no rain, the day I go to get that re-fin it rains......

 

[portaflexer]
