Might be a little tough while diving. But would look cool. You could wear it while playing. yet I'm thinking you'd loose something of the Jacques look with a Thunderbird and not be underwater.

That's actually not bad. Given some band names, it really good. Chemical Reaction might be a good one for him as well to tie in that chemist thing.Lawsuits and Watermelons - the title of your upcoming album
I don't mind an old instrument looking it's age, but I don't get stuff like this.
…Impossible Germany….had to change my small venue configuration… Eich T500 with Schroeder cab… Epi VP wirth 7ender flat…much too loud IMO…but we did follow stage tech advisory…
For the most part I’m opposed to ruining a perfectly good instrument, but something about that one speaks to me…
of course I will keep it in mint condition….
a while back I traded a set of cheapo pickups for this tele body…. I brushed on a layer of two of shellac, and I’m positive I shellaced some dirt and insects into it…
Then I saw these matching Billy and Dusty geetars and I really liked them…. turns out they were pretty much just stickers made to look like a flood damaged geetar Billy saw somewhere on the interwebz…
Those inspired this…
going back even further, I was fortunate to get a few geetar lessons from Scott Henderson, and he had this beat to poopie strat that I loved…
so I made this from a $60 geetar, and for several years it was my only electric…
Ok maybe I like beat to poopie geetars more than I thought…

wood lice are a much greater concern….

thanks, I’m not afraid to make them my own…
I’m most happy when I’m shaging with the stodgy ric purists… I think I gave some of them a mild stroke..

Uh huh.
Then why do they still have frets?
Here I am to save the day…..
I think that is a 7ender Joe Strummer tribute model.
Fender debuts battle-scarred new Joe Strummer signature Telecaster
pink one doesn’t….
but the fireglo is convertible to a 5 string…
My rarer 4004 ric is fretless though…
and my 650D isn’t supposed to be a dubble cutaway…

LOL - I hadn’t thought of that! Had this bird been a dog I’d have been in a real pickle. Kinda hard to return a gift without insulting the giver. Guess I dodged a bullet!
It does have me second guessing what to do with the BaCH. Keep it and mod it to sound as good as the 21 NR or off it and focus on getting the most out of the 21. Hmmmm.First world problems.

The set list for church this Sunday came late this week. We’re playing U2’s “Pride (in the Name of Love)”, which I love but have never tried to play. Until tonight. Oy, my fingers! On an isolated track, I wouldn’t sound anything like Adam’s part, but I think what I’m doing feels like the song, so I’m happy. Assuming I pull it off on Sunday. It’s unclear what instruments we’ll have this week, so who knows what it will turn into at rehearsal Sunday morning? Whatever, I’m stoked. And Adam Clayton has played a Thunderbird now and then…
I normally play the CP out and practice with the VP. The VP doesn’t feel quite as good to me, but dang, it sounds good on this song. May play both basses. Haven’t done that at church in a while.

Watch out for bowtruckles.
I hope you sang that in your head when typing it, because that’s how I read it.
