Now I’m humbled.

I hear you Brother, I hear you! They are heavy suckers, but can sound great. I know one fool in Louisville who sold his....

Burgundy looks great on Jeff.

I'm going to slim down the neck on my IV to 1.5 before I do a fret level.
After playing your Silverburst, I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy those Epi Les Paul pickups that were for sale locally in the summer!

If gold finish is ok I've a pair I will trade?

I just wish those NR necks had a slimmer profile.

Per his Facebook page, he plans to start producing them soon. This is his ACC pedal for a rack. There is also some hope he’ll do the same with his RB800 pedal.

While I get what you’re saying, they are slimmer than the ‘13 NRs. I like the ‘21 neck. Although I have six Epis with the 1.72 nut so it doesn’t bother me. But yeah. Nothing beats the slim Gibson reverse and BaCH NR neck profiles.

There you go Irv!

Yeah, me too. Normally I can play anything and not think about it, from chunky early Pbasses to the odd mid 60s Pbass necks and smaller Js. The Ric neck I never got used to. But the NR neck is not at all uncomfortable, but always feels a bit odd when I first pick it up. I'm not sure why they chose that profile. Maybe wanting to not have headstocks fly off. Other than that, I'm at a loss other than it's a Gibson thing that Plato couldn't figure out. The Reverse neck is perfection IMO and no one complains about it that I've ever noticed, so why change it? Oh, yeah....the Gibson thing.

Mr. Cool Breeze on the fretless.

Ah, ok. Very cool indeed Marshall.
I’d be very interested in the rack version

I’m not one to be overly picky or even pay much attention to bass necks, but I have to admit, every time I pick up the 21NR the first thing I notice is how round the neck profile is. It’s not particularly big, but the profile is just completely different from any of my other Gibson and Eppi basses. Fortunately it’s not uncomfortable at all, just feels very different from my Reverse birds.

Man, do I miss you guys.

Set your Betamax, VCR or other recording device for Wed at 8PM EST on ABC. On the Country Music Awards (CMAs), a great looking and and newly acquitted White 1964 Thunderbird II will get some national TV attention during Chris Stapleton and band's appearance. That was the plan anyway, subject to change I suppose due to other factors. This Thunderbird looks great and apparently is the best of a few already owned. Not often does a Thunderbird get some national attention and vintage white one at that. Hopefully the cameral people know the bass player is part of the band! And did I mention the Kentucky connection?

Is this you?

Speaking of "Whom", if I could play well enough to be in a Who cover band, that would be the name I'd push for.
