I’ll see if we have any. & remember, you asked for it.

Lovely Thunderbird, please let me know if you'd like a club number

Special effects were so much better than the first take at the book. I don't recall much deviation from the book plot. On the other hand, nothing beats someone killing off Sting

LOL - Stings demise was a high point in the original movie. Vlad Harkonnens pus covered face and projectile spit was a bit much to watch. I wish he’d got the jabber earlier on.

My daughter and son-in-law were going to name their second Alia if it was a girl.

Perfect!
We named our dog Khaleesi (Game of Thrones fame). @KaraQ needs to join in, she’s a big Sci-Fi fan also.
Been trying to categorize my upcoming Goth makeover (the FrankenGoth guts into a new Goth), maybe it’ll be a VaderBird.

I still maintain it wasn't me! He wanted $100, I offered $90 which he accepted. He reduced the 2nd pair to $90, then they were gone. My story and I'm sticking it!

So long as one of the brothers and sisters here got them, all is right in the world.

If I get serious about wanting a set, I could swap out the pickups from an EB, even a more recent one with the body shape I don’t care for (I like the 2013 era shape). The advantage to doing that is that the tap switches are push pull knobs and I’d already have them. No extra drilling for switches like the ‘15 has. Assuming the pots and electronics would fit in the Tbird cavity. I’m thinking there wouldn’t be an issue with an Epi IV body while there could possibly be an issue with a Gibson TBird reverse body which I think is slightly thinner? They would go in an Epi body Painted Pelham Blue of course. It will require some research. A retirement project I’m dreaming up.

We need to know the ages of these broads that were studied..... Then again, maybe we don't.

Well, there was a particularly cute brunette I met in a pub we frequented. No worries. She was 18.

I believe him. Who would admit to something like that unless they really did lt?

My ‘95 Thunderbird is going outside to play today. We have an afternoon gig and a little brewery in South San Francisco (for those of you not from ‘round these parts, it a different city, not the south part of San Francisco). I was considering using my Orange AD200 and a couple of ported cabs, but ultimately, since my ‘73 SVT and 810 are at my rehearsal space that is literally “across the street” from the brewery, I decided to go the easy route and go with Ampeg. I figure I can’t lose. Combined with my Lollar equipped ‘95 Thunderbird, there should be more than enough there to handle keeping up with the drummer and Rockerverb 50 full stack that the guitarist is using.

I think this is actually my very first outdoor gig. There can still be “firsts” even after 38 years of playing in bands….

Good choice going with the heavy iron. Please try and post a few clips!

Sounds great!

I kind of liked playing outside. There are drawbacks the bigger the coverage area, but you almost always have one constant--no weird room acoustics to work with, fit into or fight.

Yup, I've always liked the acoustics of bass the best outdoors, that's where you can really hear how your stuff sounds with no accented or dead notes, no echos, etc. SVT's sound great outdoors, in fact they sound better to me outdoors than in most rooms

 

[Ringhammer]

Excellent selections!
So what’s your opinion on the first half of the Dune remake released a couple years ago? I think the second half will be released this fall, looking forward to seeing how well they wrap it up.

I was/am really liking the new remake and very much looking forward to seeing the next season. I like the dark/quiet moody feel of it.

Assuming anyone takes any, you bet I will.

I know you didn't ask me, but I thought the latest Dune movie was excellent.

That goes for the bass too.

ACC 360 stacks are wonderful outside.

I'll bet they are.

You must tell us how that went. That is a dream bass through a dream rig. Outside? I hope you turned that sumbtch up...

YES!!

Can I borrow yours? If we play the Queens Night Market again this year, I'll want my 410. Maybe I can get away with the B-15. But my GK MB150/112 combo was just too underpowered for that.

 

[Count Bassie]

Such a thought did cross my mind! Hey, sometimes, bad is bad...
