Buy a used Thunderbucker and reverse engineer it, make a couple of improvements and offer it in 60’s spec size, Bicentennial three hole spec size, TB+ spec size and Epiphone IV spec size. You’ll have a winner and a much broader market.

Excellent advice!

You’re killing me V.

If I remember correctly @JIO bought a nice looking carbon fibre? tug bar. He may still have the link for them. It came with some free picks I think

Yes, you are right. If I add one, it will likely be Mahogany. For the tone, you know!

So… ads. We must talk about Florida and the Tampa team a bit.

I’ve started getting ads for a tshirt slideshow, with the promo pic being a young woman in a “not everything is flat in Florida” t shirt. I haven’t clicked it.

So, is Florida a flat state? Geographically that is.

Generally, yes, but not like places like Kansas and some places from the midwest to the middle of the states. (Generally.)

Cool. Can you post a pic of the back of the headstock?

Before and after...the new tuners dropped right in, no need to drill any holes.

 

[Ringhammer]

You would likely still have shipping, but have you tried selling on here?

So tell us what you’re selling, we might be interested.

I’ve come down as low as I’m willing. I could part it out for more I’m sure but it’s a fantastic player.

No thx! The flats on this baby will stay on until they rot away. I don’t have any other bird that sounds like it, and I want to keep it that way. Besides, I have Boomers on my 1990 Greco IV that I can already shake the earth with.

I really wanna hear you or Chucky or Geo or somebody that can actually play with a pic play my Greco along with a classic Motown hit. It has the perfect vibe for that genre.

'Pick' the song - if classic Motown James Jamerson used his "claw" finger, but it's possible Bob Babbit used a pic on some of the later Motown hits. Carol Kaye used a pic/palm-muting on most everything she recorded. I very rarely played with a pick before joining Bond Girl but since then (nearly 10 yrs ago) I'm mostly playing with a pick and palm-muting. I consider it "my sound".

Ha! If it weren't for Chuck Berry we'd all be playing accordiona!

so true…..back in the day the girls wanted the accordionist LOL…..Thank You Chuck Berry!!..

Found this on another thread. For @godofthunder59:

That’s a riot! Reminds me if this…

So…

Pretty much dead flat. And the parts that aren’t flat are sink holes.

Yikes!
Thought I was having a flashback for a moment there!

This is the Motown hit that to me sounds exactly like my Greco II bass would sound if I could pick and palm mute…

If you or others would like to give it a go I’d be in seventh heaven.

Yes-and no. Depends on where in FL you are. It ain't the Rockies, but there are a lotta rolling hills from Orlando north.

 

[GonePlaid]

It’s in the bridge cover too

Yup!

Or Dog River, Sask.

rightious - it's very Motown formula - I'm on it

Love BS&T's version -

For the most part, extremely so. Geographically.

Sorry highest point in Kansas is 4,039ft, highest point in Florida is 345 ft. Florida is flat. Highest point in the contiguous U.S. is Mt Whitney in CA., just edging out Mt Rainer in WA. about 100 ft.
