Yes. Every one called them a granola bar (the voice-over on the tv ads made it sound an awful lot like granola bar)

I maintain that the member in question is not dead, but rather in hiding after an initiation mishap.His number was even removed from the club roster in an effort to hide the fact.
A PSA I suppose. Saw this in a news article:
The medical examiner report said Pinckney tested positive for...
1. cannabis
2. cocaine
3. fentanyl
4. oxycodone
5. and opiates after his death.
I'm seriously not making a joke, but did this guy go to the Tom Petty (and others) school of self-medicating? If anybody is on that train, please be careful.
I'm no Pharmacist, but I'm thinking one is deadly by itself and mixing almost any the others is a good way to only do it once.

Yes, I did one for Ken’s RNR which is a 2013 IIRC. He didn’t move the pickup, but we did adjust the edges to get it closer to a 60’s shape.
Yup. And it came out amazing. So happy with it. Eliminating the screw holes and using double-sided tape allowed us to pull in and and straighten out some of the edges.
#1 is relatively safe by itself, but #3 kills a lot of people.
Do you have before and after pics of the bass?
That shows the difference - thanks!
That is what was detected and reported. Note that 3-5 are all opiates, not that it matters that much.
(One of) the problems with street drugs is that you don't know what you are getting. Is the thing you are being told that you are buying actually the thing you are buying. And what else is in it? All the people in the distribution chain are not your friends and don't actually care what happens to you. Pretty extreme caveat emptor here...

soon to be, Chrome flats currently……….‘member? you weren’t thrilled….they sound great but limit the bass too much…..iow, I can get closer to a flat sound with rounds than viceversa….plus got Thunderbuckers on this dying to be heard…..just noticed I wasn’t playing it out as much and that’s prolly the reason…..

I do recall that it had flats on it - I think the DRs will unleash the Beast within! It should be played out, too pretty to stay home, that one!
The black 2018 Thunderbird came back to me. Let's hope Gibson continues the every-five-years "trend" of left-handed Thunderbirds and I can send this back for one next year. In the meantime, it's a good testbed. I have one set of RS66 left, so I'll put those on this one so I can directly compare them to the SITs.
I was just looking on the Gibson site and noticed the Gene Simmons Thunderbird is in the "Bass" section and the Rex Brown in the "Artist" section. Sick burn? Bad web site design (likely)?

I believe that was it!
Gibson's usual consistent inconsistency.
