Some T-Bird action in the Washington Post this morning..article about cruise ship concerts with multiple bands.

I think that's Jason Knight's bass!

Looks like his post on FB isn't public, but he said:
"I've just returned from my first fly-gig (London-Miami). Packed in their Epiphone cases, my Epiphone VPs both survived the experience perfectly, though I got a dint in one case and lost one case foot. Played 4 different stages on a cruise ship, and both Eddie Spaghetti (Supersuckers) and Alan Doughty (Waco Brothers) also loved borrowing my bird."
His photos:

There was a recent Monsters of Rock cruise with a lot of 80s rocker bands. I wonder if that was what the article was covering.

If it's Jason's (and it sure looks like it is), that was the Outlaw Country Cruise!

They did mention the Waco Brothers in the article.

I just read that one should give some spring sun to the T-Bird pickup equipped basses. It really helps with the neck dive, clears the mud and snaps the snapped headstock back into it's place.
Of course I snake oiled the fretboard that it won't get too tanned...

You are correct sir! I had forgotten that he had posted about the cruise.

Getting to know this beast. The amp goes to 11 the bass to 12 [M
Thanks for doing these videos, Scott. That thing is definitely a beast!

not for 60’s bird prices

Thanks, me too, or at least almost everything. I just put some more foam underneath the bridge pickup to see if it helps with the cover noises or if I have to get it re-waxed.

I like everything about that bass except the price.
If I was so inclined to own a pink mist Spector shaped Bird I’d probably buy one of these…

and drop a couple of thunderbuckers in it with thousands of bucks left to paint it any color I like.

There's a '66 NR for basically the same money on Reverb...........
I regret I have only one Liver to sell!

That would get you the same sound plus some. And it would leave plenty of money for another Bird.

Couldn't agree more!

I have never seen an actual witch hat knob. That’s a misnomer. (But yes, those are ugly as homemade sin[1]).

[1] such a funky expression

Buy the NR

 

[TBird1958]

Buy the NR

But my Liver, if I sell it, will it grow back?
