Some time ago I was thinking of selling my -67 EB3. Sooo happy I didn’t

Mine was Cherry. If it had looked like yours(walnut?), it'd never have been sold.

Grass skirt, coconut shell bra - We haven't suggested running down the streets of one's Home Prefecture yelling "Thunderbirds Rule" at the top of lungs in awhile.......Hmmmmmm.

...could bring back streaking...

Actually it should be cherry, just darkened during the years. i don’t think Gibson made walnut before -71/72 or so (when they redesigned the whole thing

Unstained mahogany as far as I know. I ordered a 'brown' EB-3 with the slotted hs and received a cherry unslotted hs EB-3. I learned much later it was a NOS '68 - new to me in '71. (what did I know?)

I only sold mine 'cos it wasn't being played. I got a (then) good price for it. Less than a month later I needed a ss bass for a very tight space gig. Bought a Squier VM Jaguar SS. Did a coupla mods to it. Still . Sold it.

Somehow, I've managed to ding, even if ever so slightly, every single bass I've ever owned

Me too

I’m ok with it.

Sorry, sir.

I can see the wood under the headstock

You can't really call it a Thunderbird unless the headstock is banged up.

That's a beauty I love a good EB3!

Seriously. It’s a great price on a rare Bird. You really need to go check it out. He might even negotiate with a fellow Kentuckian.

Stop it!

An enabling bunch we are.

Yes, without doubt. Professionals no less.

I'm holding out for a used Burgundy NR one day. If I get one, it's going to be a super deal (almost theft), or exactly the color I want at a great price. May even need to think about selling something first, but shipping is crazy now and not likely to get better. I really don't need another bass. (Stop laughing. I'm serious. Mostly. Kind of.)

 

[dagrev]

If I'm not mistaken, was a grass skirt. Optional.

And as if to be so daring, you might add watermelon.

OK, at some point this train went off the rails once we got past the shirt part.

Hurts see this

 

[dagrev]

I usually don't care, but idk, this is sad

I hate it when it happens, but shows the thing has actually been in use. Now you can worry less about it happening.

They can survive complete decapitation. Or something along these lines with no problem. Burst VP.

 

[dagrev]

Just throw cash on the table and run for the exit.

Not enough the deer sleep, eat and poop in the yard, now we have turkey dating.

And worse... turkey orgies... They have no shame.

Grass skirts and watermelons, this is on the rails for us.
