I don't get it, FEDEX has been good to me for 20 years, I just sent my T5, including case from Utah to Miami last Thursday, it got there on Tuesday.Seems to be pretty SOP for FedEx these days.....

Go figure look what just showed up!Seems to be pretty SOP for FedEx these days.....
I suspect that there is great variability in the performance of depots at all the courier companies. That would account for the great/crappy performance endorsements amoungst FedEx, UPS, USPS etc.I don't get it, FEDEX has been good to me for 20 years, I just sent my T5, including case from Utah to Miami last Thursday, it got there on Tuesday.
Got me a VERY lightweight Dingwall D-Roc 4, pictures soon, so I guess I can stay in the club? Lull T5 went bye-bye
I had only played the IV this is so much better. Really glad that I ponied up the extra 300 for the Vintage. Did a quick set up and got the action a bit better and it plays great. Love the sound through the Ampeg with a little dirt. No neck dive either which is a pleasant surprise.I need me one

She's no lightweight...9.9lbs...Though compared to my Stingray that almost balsa wood
This was the heaviest Ray I ever had.
Was around 12 and change.
Great player, and awesome tone.

Anyone know when Epiphone moved production of the IV (EB1) from Korea to China? Someone is selling a Korean version with original Epi case for $300. Claims to be in excellent condition.
12lbs+!!! Holy shite! I love mine too..11.2lbs and it sounds amazing.
The bolt-ons?
AFAIK, '06 was the last year for Korea, '07 first year for China, with the early 2007 models being a bit different from both the Korean-built and later Chinese-built 'birds

I was at a party once and was minding my own business and enjoying the festivities and this really nice girl from Britain came up and asked me to dance. I tried to convince her that that really wasn't my thing, but she insisted so I walked out on the floor with her thinking, I'm likely too sober to do this. We "danced" a while. She danced for a while and I did whatever I was doing for a while. Mostly what I was doing was trying not to do much so I wouldn't look stupid. It wasn't long before she just kind of walked off and disappeared into the crowd, leaving me doing whatever it was I was doing as I was trying not to do anything. Should have followed her and at least told her not to walk off--adding, "I told you this wasn't a good idea." She had an adorable British accent and we could have talked all evening and I would have been happy just to listen to her and look at her. But NO, we had to dance.....
After a few dates with my future wife was at a gig we were doing at a popular night club and during a break she said, "Let's dance...." Oh, poopie! This can't end well. What do I do? Do I rest on my good looks? (Not a viable option...)
Oddly enough when playing bass I didn't mind grooving and moving a little. I never needed to be noticed so it wasn't a showing off or anything to draw attention to myself, just subtly enjoying what we were doing.

That's a Thunderbird! Nice catch!
Yes. Oh, that wasn't a question was it? But the retort is still "yes."I need me one
Yeah, because "I told you so!" always gets women interested in you...
Better strategy; no matter what song is playing, pull her close and slow dance. It may also end spectacularly poorly, but at least there is a small chance of success...
Man that's a beaut!
