Very nice color. Guess I'm just not a fan of the pickguard shape/lines, but I'm sure Engle could sort something out/improve it. In any case, I'm sure most owners like them so my opinion is meaningless...

I look at it like this.
Rock what you like.

Happy Birthday @JJR58!!! Hope its a great one!!

Excellent! May the corrosion continue for another year and many more.

We know where approximately 3/4 of all NRs ever made are.

Oh that's a exaggeration lol, I think it's about 10%

OK, I'll revise it - 3/4 of the remaining NRs in existence.

Here's another stand option meant for offset guitars and basses. And it seems to fold up to about 12".

I have one and they are super small and don’t work for a Tbird. I use it for my Dano.

Thanks. In what way do they not work for a Thunderbird?

You can’t get enough angle on the base for a reverse bird. Maxed out, the bird is leaning precariously.

I’ll try to grab a photo.

This.
Made that mistake too. The body shape didn’t sit in the cradle very well and the back support was minimal. I much prefer the captive yoke system.

Just had to.

Just acquired a Mike Lull T5. This has a 35" scale. It came with a hard case... that won't fit anywhere in my car except the passenger seat (in a reclined position). Before I buy another car just to accommodate my newly acquired bass, perhaps someone here might be able to recommend a suitable gig bag for long neck bass.

Mine fit nicely in a Gigblade

I’ll store it for you. I see you have one of those full length thumb rests.
