Man, you must be a serious player, even the walls in your house are ported!Yep. When I played this head in a store, it was the sound I was searching for.

That's a sick little 'Birdie you've got there mang!Hey Gals and Fellas, I sure like to join up with them T-birds. The Pink Ladies did NOT send me.
My Epi T-Bird Classic. Came stock with Gibson pickups and electronics. I added the Hipshot Bridge, the Hipshot Ultralight mini-clover tuners, I had the luthier drill the body for "string through". Oh, and the knobs go to 11.

Hope this finds you all well. Haven’t been around this page in awhile, but I stumbled across this today in Rapid City, SD. ‘64 that was originally purchased locally and spent most of its life under a bed. They’re asking $35k!!!

I was determined to play every bass anyone brought, party in appreciation of their bring the basses, partly because I might not ever get to play one otherwise, and partly just because. Pure bliss.Agreed on the stigmas. I didn’t play a lot of the basses but I was intently listening to almost all of them. The one that I briefly played that really struck me as having something extra special was the store owners Jazz mash up. The body and neck were different years of 1960’s offerings, the bridge pup was a 1974 and the neck pup was a 1968? , the body was even an old refin. The thing is, it all came together great as a fantastic player.
For everyone comparing their playing to others, I'll give an analogy from running. Run your own race. I consider myself competent and that's fine with me. There are lots of much better players; hooray for them. I'm in a band I love and my playing is good enough for that.
Shoes, please.

Dang, I forgot about her! Ok, so I’m humbled even further. But I’m still happy and having fun, ain’t nobody taking that away from me!Yup. There are (literally) 11 year girls with much better chops than me![]()

Something magic about that combination that has stood the test of time, and I guess always will.
I'm not a 3T burst person at all, but when I see that Pbass it just screams, "Play me."
A white one! I wonder if it's been refinished. $35k is a bit much. Maybe not for Scott's roadie.
Good to see you pop in. You living in Europe these days?
