"Someone" might be interested(N/A). GIBSON thunderbird non-reverse 2013 bass guitar | eBay

I’ll be interested to see what it goes for. Only upgrade I did to my ‘13 was replace the three-point with a Babicz. It sounds awesome with Power steels.

Beautiful Jack Cassady.
Suddenly got GAS feelings for short scale bass, more exactly Epiphone Rumblekat.
Found one on eBay...for my pocket, it's doable.

I’ve always thought I’d like to add a blue one to my basses. Let us know what you think of it!

Every seventh grade boy will be trying that this Fourth of
July.

I tried a red one in a shop some years ago. It felt very good in hand. I was impressed.

I tried a beat up one off a Sam Ashe wall a few years ago. Lack of care and fret sprout aside (it certainly didn’t come from the factory that way) I liked it a lot.

Yikes! Serious case of destroyed finish on the back.

Odd but that's about the third bass I've seen since yesterday that had had a chemical reaction from something left in the case that screwed up the finish, one was a curly Q cord, the other one I forgot, this one not sure if it's from something in the case but what else?

The seller says someone left it sitting on a drum throne. Vinyl will do serious damage fairly quick. I’d be interested if it were sub $1000 but anything more is just too much money if contemplating a refin.

It still works fine, i just feel the 800rb which sits in a rehearsal rental by hour room needs a good tech service to bring it up to par. Compared to my 400rb, the 800 seems to lack proper headroom. What i should've said is that rental space won't service it until the amp isn't working at all.

I could take a hammer to it, but then they'd know who was in the room last & i kinda enjoy that rehearsal space xD

It’s a good thing I don’t need another bass…

but I don’t have a Pelham….

and it will likely go for more than I got my 21’s for…

\I've always loved this and wished I could have seen this original version of the band.

I learned how to play listening and playing to the early records. They were very popular on the Central Coast from early on. The Santa Barbara FM station played them all the time. McVie always plays the right lines for the song. He still does.

Ronnie James Dio playing an EB-0 and singing lead in 1967, the music is not live.

Some day I’ll tell you why I can’t listen to Dio.

I spent two or three months in Germany in 1981, I did an album in a studio called Dieter Dierks Studios, The Scorpions were his big band, I think he managed them or at least they recorded here. Very nice studio for the time, was a double, two bands recorded there at the same time, two 24 track machines in two different studios with IIRC more tracks available in a mobile which I never saw. It had its own hotel and everything, the album never got picked up and the producer never paid the studio so no copies, (sucked anyway ) although there are a few lo fi copies somewhere but I don't have one. I actually saw real flanging done, the engineer had two 2 (I think 2 track) track machines going and touched one lightly with his forearm to get it slightly behind the other one to create the out of phase swish, very interesting, it took him several times to get it right.
I saw the street where the Star Club used to be.
But yes it was a very nice country, people were nice, most spoke pretty good english and at least at the time there were a lot of underground clubs, it was kind of beatnick-y, neat country.

It's still a cool place like that. We were having dinner at this 5 star restaurant left walked about a block down this alley and there was a hard core punk club. Love the way the downtown just mixes it up. My GF has all of her family there so it's going to be an easy transition plus I found a film school there that wants me to teach so I'll have some part time work as well.
