Thx!, much appreciated.

Didn't know - Happy belated B-day Jeff. You made it through another year on earth!

Coincidence, I was listening to 60's music last night on YouTube and 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' kept coming up.

Very good.

We start rehearsing it on Thursday. It's my B-day request for our show on Sunday J1.

No worries Geo.
And thank you my friend.
This earth, it's a very strange place.

I know it's a few months old, but is this a CP, perhaps?

For Sale - Epiphone Thunderbird IV

Looks like it. Same price I paid for mine with case. The bridge is an upgrade.

Getting stranger by the day...

Nothing wrong with an Explorer-shaped bass!! Here is my 1982 Hamer Blitz Bass. Hands down one of my best sounding basses.

Agreed my Blitz is one of my best sounding basses!

Love this, great vibe !

He has some other great work as well. Amazing!

If I seriously played guitar, I would alternate between a Firebird and Explorer (like Allen Collins of LS).

I'd definitely be straddling a Les Paul and SG.

After all the SIT string talk, I ordered a set of Dave Ellefson strings. For just over $16 shipped, how can I go wrong? I am interested in trying out a couple other styles from SIT and they are priced pretty nice.

Great. Looking forward to your impressions. I got my set cheap as well, so why not? Glad I did since they sound great on my one of the Jazzes. They are really nice strings at very reasonable prices and as good as much more expensive strings. Welcome to the cult!

Depending on how many showed, it could get cozy. Which is cool -- a nice, intimate setting where we get to know each other and everyone's headstock.

(Was that a Thunderbird headstock or someone's neck?)

"Ow! Whose headstock just dove onto my foot?"
"Hey, Chuck, we warned you to wear steel toed boots, not sandals!" (Spoken by someone wearing dwarvish iron shoes)

 

[PaleAngel_90]

Nope. What's calling you and why?

What do you mean?

 

[PaleAngel_90]

do people still whistle to communicate down your way?…

Is that a joke?

 

[PaleAngel_90]

I honestly don't think I have ever seen Ibanez bass strings for sale here. Are they pretty common in your region?

Not really, saw a shop that sells them and they have Ibanez flats for 20€ but they don't convince me much tbh...

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Is that a joke?

is Silbo Gomero a joke?….didn’t think so..

Oh, no. I meant that that whistling language belongs to another island, I live in one of the two capital islands of the Archipelago, but yes, it's still used today by people over that particular island. And actively promoted by that island's Culture Ministry.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

What do you mean?

I meant what about the Ibanez strings had your attention?

 

[GonePlaid]

do people still whistle to communicate down your way?…

Only if they're "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay".

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Oh, no. I meant that that whistling language belongs to another island, I live in one of the two capital islands of the Archipelago, but yes, it's still used today by people over that particular island. And actively promoted by that island's Culture Ministry.

yeah, your islands have a fascinating history…

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Only if they're "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay".

that’s a tough one……know only one musician that consistently nails it every time…
