Onions down here too sister!Miss all of you as well. Who's cutting onions dammit.
I was supposed to hang with Mr. Chuck this weekend for some cool car and potential bass gear acquisition, but just got news from my brother in San Jose that his hip is gone and he’ll need an emergency replacement. Of course he doesn’t have medical insurance so big brother (me) gets to help out. So much fun, so little time. I’ll be bouncing between San Jose and Monterey this weekend so with any luck I might be able to catch a Chuck gig at least.
Oh no!!! Family first.
I’m going to put another rack case together with the Mesa TT800 and maybe one of those. Or another effects device that I’ll primarily run through the effects loop of the Subway channel of the dual channel TT. With rack cases, I can easily go back and forth between both houses with everything pretty much packed and ready. And I’m thinking about how best to set up a rack lid as a “pedal board” using Velcro to hold the pedals in place.
The Carbine in its case isn’t too heavy and transporting it like that will be fine. I’ll be running it through the sealed Berg NV610 next time I’m at the mountain, hopefully this weekend. I really want to hear it through that cab. It sounds incredible through the Subway 410 at this house. And I do mean incredible. As I read somewhere else recently, talking about a different Mesa, the Carbine “grinds in all the right places.” Ahem…
Sorry to hear that. You are a great big brother. Can I be a little brother? I promise I won't be a burden. Well, unless you move nearby. Then I'm going to want to play with all your cool bass toys--as little brothers are want to do.
I think the M6 is going to be a great match with The NV610.
You all just totally rock this club.
That's why I don't have one. I wish Gibson would build necks with a scarf joint to reduce peghead snaps instead of beefing up the neck. They probably leave the Reverse Tbird neck slim because it has multiple laminations.
Brother,
The doors to my home and access to my bass gear is open 24/7 for all club members to enjoy. Consider me a Beverly Hillbilly…
You're all invited to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of my hospitality, hillbilly that is.
Play a bass, Set a spell, drink some shine, Take your shoes off.
Y'all come back now, y'hear?
And he has bourbon too.

Is that his new band name?
always wondered about that…..the 60’s NR necks are very slim (possibly even slimmer than the 60’s reverses), here compared to a J neck….
which raises the question;
was it a hard learned lesson? were there more NR headstock breaks than reverse ones due to the laminations?….
Not sure which shines brighter - Jeff’s smile or the BlingBird.Family first of course - Jeff and the Bling!
Of course! The kingly Teton I picked up a bass was Twiggy and his Thunderbird. Now, three Thunderbird is my main bass!Nice! let me know if you'd like me to add you to the club roster.
