You forgot about boating and the occasional sinking of said boat due to ignorance or beer...or both. It's what the holiday is all about......

I'm still miffed about getting rid of all the president's brithdays and replacing them with Presidents Day. So I have no choice; I can't choose only to celebrate the presidents I liked.

I picked up some interesting things yesterday.....one was un-planned

Easily treated with antibiotics I hope...

 

[PillO]

why do they insist on putting too many pickups on base geetars?

Same reason they put too many frets?

I know people here like Grecos, I found this on Reverb this morning, $689.56:

Early 1970s Greco EB-350 SG Bass (Gibson EB-3 Style) (33.5" Scale)

Interesting that it's between med & full scale.

What until you see my response in 30 pages!

This could get interesting.

It would also enhance the effect if while replying 30 pages late if you would post your replies randomly and not the one you are actually commenting on. We'll know what you mean but if anyone from the GP shows up they will begin to think they acquired some bad stuff from the dude on the corner.

Well, we live in an age where everyone gets their participation trophy, so it kind of fits.

IMO seems spendy for what it is. Might be a plywood body and I believe that's a single coil, not a mudbucker. I would ask for some pics of the sides.

I meant for you.

no, I’m too busy thinking of how I can afford the $2500 fretless steinberger…

the Greco is all yours…

Rickenbackers too, they have 33 1/4" scales.

So, Rickenbacker scale more or less. Interesting.

You could buy four Grecos and rip the frets out of them for about one Steinberger.

I learned all his songs that hit the radio, starting with "Dang Me" and this one (I was 8). Mom or I would randomly start singing something we knew from the radio and the other would join in. She bought the album after this one and within a week we'd played it enough to sing all the songs from memory. Roger wrote fun songs.

(I thought this dropped in 1964.)

Roger Miller songs were some of the few the rugby club sang that could be repeated in any other setting.

You are Canadian, so you can celebrate whatever you want, eh! I hear what sounds like a military jet ripping along overhead somewhere. Don't hear those much in Seattle unless there's something going on.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Personally, totally my thing. And they're exactly how i'd want them placed.

yup….

 

[Stealth57]

Since motorcycles are allowed here, which one?

A trip across Lake Washington to un hip Bellevue brings unexpected surprises.

Oh yeah, good things, small packages..............
