Definitely not a Northeast word. It's never come out of my mouth, nor will it ever.“Dang” seems to be a purely US word. Not a word we use here, although there are a bunch of other 4 letter words we do use.
(I think I know where it comes from, we just use the word dang replaces.)
I think (which means nothing), that the Dark Abalone would look pretty good. The dark would connect with the black and the more iridescent parts would stand out nicely.
I see somebody seems to need a little mouth soap!
Oh, I've got serious chronic potty mouth.I see somebody seems to need a little mouth soap!
Four years Navy, 23 years driving trucks, I'll give you a run for yer money.
Folks are slow on the uptake. Where’s Marshall when you need him. Said TT surprise in black and no one picks it out of the TTT photos. So, here it is in more obvious fashion. Still has the stickers on the pickups and plastic on the PG and swimming pool cover.
And, yes, it fits in the triangular Epi case that came with my CP.

Unfortunately you have seemed very happy with the CP Bird
Yeah, that was my thought.
Yes, what is a 4 letter wordLike what?
My Dads Gran operated the local exchange with the hand operated patch panel in the little bush village? they lived in. Bugaldi, between Coonabarabran and the Warrumbungles mountain range.
The observatory near there was used for tracking Haley’s Comet last time around (late 1980s) due to there not being many lights out there. Dad and other relatives all went out there to watch, unfortunately it was a damp squib rather than the spectacular they hoped for.
Beauty!!!!
All three are good choices in my book.
I swear a LOT and I'm not a Navy Trucker like @GonePlaid . I have been called something that sounds like "trucker" a lot in my life.
I have often heard the expression of swearing like a sailor or a trucker so I think that means GonePlaid pulls double duty in that department. I would have to work at saying "dang" so I might as well say what I mean.
I am. And I am interested in having less stuff. I don't like lots of stuff, and I can tell when I have too much because I get tired of taking care of it all.
When I'm playing, I don't want anything.
And all the above is why I may have a problem.
I was once rightly accused by a fellow carpenter of not having a very high regard for material things... As I showed up after I was supposed to have left, looking for my 4' level, and also having my small compressor pointed out to me.
Beautiful! first time I see that model….would love to try that bass…Hyperbole aside, there are a lot of usable tones available from the rotary switch on the Viking basses.
Dang, darn, heck, shoot. All "gentler" versions of other words usually made up of 4 letters. When I was in H.S. in 61-64, 'damn' would get you sent to the dean's office. What we said amongst ourselves was much stronger. Times have changed. Carlin's "7 Words" are down to ~4.

quick initial physical comparison with the 68 (have not even tuned up the slack for strings yet) is a very close weight balance ratio to the original and a somewhat (not bad) bulkier feel to the body that could be partly due to the lack of belly cut. That said, the neck gets REALLY close..
really nice bass…….being as rare as the seem to be, other than for the pup where I’m thinking a 70’s sidewinder, I’ll leave it stock and perform the mod in a fully reversible manner….can’t wait to plug it in…
