If they don't do right by you, I would suggest trying the MONO M80 Betty. It comes in a variety of colors and in two different sizes (short and long). The Mono stuff tends to be spendy but I have seen them for $39 (U.S.). Here is their pitch, which gives you an idea on design and materials:The Betty (Black-Long)

Thanks for that . I was looking at the Mono straps too . Ive got a couple of good Levis ones but fancied a change and the Neo one got great reviews but there are two different models . I typically chose the wrong one

So does your fish like Black & Decker?

My fish prefers DeWalt or Makita

Do they make coffee pots?

I am definitely vibing on this 8x10/Thunderbird combo! Played the first show with the 8x10 a week ago, great sound.

I just impulse bought another TBird. It'll be here shortly but here's a pic I snagged from the listing.

My son threw a ball and broke the bowl, all I had was the coffee pot and I'm not buying another tank when I have a bass to deal with.

I don't remember ever seeing a 6 string Bird bass.

There's the Low End LET Bird 6:

Nice... Now you just need a Pelham Blue to complement it..

Not the prettiest bird I've seen, and definitely wouldn't want to play that aircraft carrier fretboard...

Just to be clear, I assume the soldering iron should not touch the walls or burn them. We just want to heat up the walls that have moisture in them in order for the wood to expand.

You could use a bit of damp cloth between the soldering iron and the wood.

Exactly. Yes you can touch the wood with the soldering iron, just keep it moving, the damp cloth can help too in that it will slow the heating process down and stop potential scorching but as long as your not watching the TV at the same time you should have no bother. The damp cloth is very useful on furniture where you can use an iron, even with varnish on you can get a pin and lightly stab the surface of a dent and steam it out. Obviously dont do that on wood that has a finish that will be marked by water

Oh, that makes sense. I just assumed you didn't want to bother cleaning the pot so you dropped one of those sucker fish in there to clean it for you.

That's a fantastic pic!
I'd love to see this in one of those "caption this picture" contests.
My entry ...
"I can't believe the bass player left his TBird out during break, if I can grab it quick and bolt through that curtain it's all mine!"

I do look a bit furtive now you mention it I think during that moment the drummer was really milking the ending and I was giving him the eye for us to finish the song.

That's with the Epi bird, haven't decided yet whether to setup the Greco for this band. I think it would sound huge, and its my main band, but I don't know how the shorter scale will handle C tuning, and I'm enjoying the Greco with La Bellas for the funk project I've just got off the ground. I guess you can just never have enough Grecos

And to double the joy I'll scratch my armpit with the mic on my way out

So is the Greco bird a shorter scale than the Gibby/Eppi?

Yep, about 33' i think. Makes it just feel the length of a regular bass rather than the ultra long regular bird

I stand corrected!! I even did a search for images and found nothing. Totally forgot about this Bird!!

I didn't...

Went straight to Low End Guitars to find the picture, but ended up doing a google search, as they only had a 5'er on their website and I knew I had seen a 6-string of theirs...

For a great strap on a TBird, go for a 3" Couch 77 or 78 I had them make it almost a foot longer to accommodate my ape arms and height. The 3" padded part holds the bird better than most anything I've used. $57 is hard to beat
Couch straps FTW!
