Damn, sorry to hear that Donnie.

I appreciate it Irv.

You are entitled to your opinion. There must be a focus group out there that liked it, else they wouldn't have made it.

I don't like it. There is something wrong to my eye. It is like a strat with a fat a$$ and a partially amputated upper horn.

These are cool, i've owned 2 of the fender ones from years ago. I was glad to see that squier had re released them so there, lol

 

[JIO]

He was a pretty good bass player, I've watched some of his old videos, I opened for him once during the early 80's. I'd like to grab one of those basses, never knew they were short scales.

I have two - one stock (brown one) and the other modded fretless. They are commonly available on eBay for usually a reasonable cost and as long as the neck is good - they are great sounding- easy playing basses. I can out "Motown" any P-bass on my brown one. (with old flats)

Modded with an ebony lined fretless fb, thumb rest, added Guild RI Darkdstar bridge pu & RI vintage Manton pu selecter knob.

 

[sleddogn]

and you say that squier looks bad, lol, man lol

Miss a couple days and there is a mountain to climb. Please point me to anything that's a must read, otherwise I'm not going to try to get caught up. It's been an exhausting two days. We were getting ready for church and my wife's sister called and said their mother was in cardiac arrest at home. I met them at the hospital, but there was nothing that could be done to save her after 20-30 minutes or so. It was unexpected and which adds to the shock. I feel so badly for Sandra and can't do a thing really. I told her I don't think I ever felt so helpless. All this as we were approaching the first anniversary of her dad's passing in June. I got along great with my MIL, so there's no regrets or bad blood there as is often the case. (Please no need to comment, we all know such things are a real challenge and feel for others who go through such a time. Pick up a Thunderbird and enjoy life while you can.)

Sorry to hear. Condolences to you and family.

I don't know if they're serious............

New Sid Vicious Signature Bass Doesn’t Come With Output Jack

The Hard Times is definitely a parody site. They have some pretty funny articles at times.

That's worse than a Pontiac Aztek.

That is hard to top the Aztec. Sooooo ugly!!

Little side step, thought i'd throw this in for any of us looking for a gig bag to carry our birds. Not affiliated with seller, ive purchased one for the tigerbird bass i had built which i'm giving to a friend of mine. Its a nicely padded bag, lots of pockets. My built bass is spector size & fits the gig bag. Any epiphone & gibson would fit too.

I have a bag from them that fits the VP model, but just barely.

So sorry for your loss Donnie.

woh - is that real?

it is, Le Mont-Saint-Michel…..if you miss the tide you have to spend the night (not a bad thing by any means)…..the bulldog (Rocco) once scammed a roasted duck from the back of a bistro up right next to the monastery…

7ender, through their Squier brand, are making some interesting* designs for guitars...

Spotted at my local L&M today
View attachment 4692669

* Interesting meaning unattractive**

** Standard meaning of unattractive.

Not my cup of tea - looks stubby fat and bulky and has a lefty look to it as well.

oh my... that is quite an eyesore

Understatement. Not svelte or sleek or balanced, just lumpy and dumpy.

Looks like it was meant to be a left-y, that somebody (accidentally?) put together as a right-y.



edit.....maybe for a right-handed person that wants to look like they're playing a left-handed guitar upside down? The way left-handed folks do sometimes with right-handed guitars?

Yep.

So sorry to hear. Liked your post anyway because of the good Tbird advice at the end.

So that it’s easier to find when it falls off.

Is there a correlation between the size of your feet and the size of your...ahem... headstock?

It looked like it was sculpted out of a mountain!

life is hard by definition - love is the answer as always ... strength and peace

Yep.

Yes, the "reverse" concept is not a legitimate reason to create it.

Hey! I think I'm offensive.

There's a live Sex Pistols video on Youtube where you can actually hear him, he's not as bad as everyone says, he was mostly playing the correct notes just sounded like he never practiced, missed a lot of notes, stuff like that, I don't think it was dubbed. Course Glen Matlock was very good.


Here's Glen Matlock playing an early double cutaway EB-0 with Iggy.



Sex Pistols live 1978 Sid misses a lot of notes, it's plugged in but who knows.

SV probably gave punk a bad rep... or at least a worse rep.
