Kara, I'm so sorry, please take care.

The Bowie connection was no doubt true for most people. Bowie was a big help, but apparently only allowed SRV et al, to tour so SRV would keep playing in his band. Stevie figured out his career was getting back burnered and eventually backed out. Been a long time since I heard what happened, but I think this is pretty close to it.

As I was re-listening to his guitar parts and what he was choosing to play, I kept thinking "who even thinks to play this way?" What he often chose to play is just a hard to comprehend.

many credit his tone drove his style….

No on the make up!
It's an expensive rat hole that you do not want to go down!

Just take care of yourself, most guys don't take good care of themselves and wear that as some kind of badge - utterly stupid. Just taking care makes a huge difference, one thing I do monthly is a trip to get my hair cut and my brows trimmed and shaped, even this just makes a difference as it gives you a positive attitude, exercise of some kind, a reasonable diet and seeing the Doc of a regular basis all help too.

Not sure about that exercise part. I keep blowing out body parts

Just don't exercise those parts (Ahem?).

That would just about leave me with Ahem…

Kara, so sad to hear. Stay well and comforted in the thought that while kitty was here on earth you gave her all the love and the best life she could have had.

@Stealth57 My son-in-law has a current model of Royal Enfield. No clue what model but he loves it.

She's a beauty, Andy!

May she give you all the tone and thump you seek!

That's killer! Where did you find that?

Thanks guys!! @dieselman posted a link to it on the Portland Craigslist site. Took a month to get it to happen but it finally showed up. It was worth the effort to make the deal happen! I had actually saved pics of this bass back when it was originally built because it was exactly the bass I would have had Carlo build. It has had at least two previous owners but it is in great shape.

Yep. Should have brought that one home.

Now I want it more. Want my address? If I were looking for another bass, an early G&L like your's would be at the top of the list.

 

[Nocturnal]

Looks fantastic!
Glad you had a good trip. I'm still recovering some some kind of respiratory thing I had last week, with the weekend being the worst, otherwise I would have tried to see if you were available to connect while you were in these parts. May not have been possible, but I would have liked to try had I been feeling better.

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. Wish we could have met up while I was there. I will return for a visit and hopefully we will meet then.

Lucky man.

That’s a beauty! Congrats!!

Thanks guys!

rub it in Donnie….thought abstaining would earn me kudos with the old lady…..erred thinking…
should have gone for it….steal at 650 bills…

Last haircut I got, they trimmed my eyebrows. And managed to shave off part of one of them. It's pretty strange looking, and it's taking a while to grow back. Oh, well.

We all slip up once in a while. Just don't let it happen again!

Thanks, nothing serious, just felt rough and sounded worse.

That is a Score! I was very tempted with that. Right in my area too.

Hey everyone! Just back from my trip and am not going to dig thru 30 pages to catch up. Did I miss anything while I was gone? I expect the usual planes, trains, and automobile discussions with some T-Bird action thrown in for good measure?

I did come home to a new-to-me lovely Bird. May I introduce the lovely Cataldo Bass #55.

Just bought a new NR though.

Respiratory issues aren’t anything to sneeze at (pun intended) so take care and follow the docs orders well beyond the “I feel better” date, these things have a tendency to come back days after you think you’re in the clear.
