A P51 can keep up with the other two? Or maybe the question is whether the other two can slow down enough without falling out of the sky.

A p51’s top speed is close to 3x the stall speed of the other two.

How do you know this about women's clothes?

Doesn’t everyone?

Better off. This is what I looked like minutes after running a 3:18 marathon.

Everyone was out of the house one evening when I was about 10................The rest is history

Beautiful! And so is the bass.

@BklynKen gifted me this handy little device, and as the EBCF’s break in.
This little guy picks up the slack.

Well, you bought me a beer. ;-)

Nikki plays the Schecter Sixx model as well as a Schecter Jazz bass. His main signature looks a lot like a Gibson RD and the neck is definitely closer to a P bass than a Tbird. Here is an old for sale post for one here on TB. I have the Pelham Blue version like in this listing but paid way less than this one sold for. I have to say, it is a very well made bass but its heavy.

Thanks. Definitely those for the most part, but one or two had a Tbird like headstock. Looking at the 48 again now I’m pretty sure it wasn’t one of them.
I couldn’t get a good look, a bit far for me and for the video screens they cut away from subject to subject very quickly.

Just to add, the medley they did was

Rock and Roll, Part 2 / Smokin' in the Boys Room / Helter Skelter / Anarchy in the U.K. / Blitzkrieg Bop / Fight for Your Right To Party

this was very enjoyable and the crowd - even the youngsters were going off

My GF helped me buy a Vintage Pro in an emergency that my Ric had its truss rod snapped (all my other basses were sold, including my former Gibson 'Bird). She didn't initially like its look, but agreed with me that we'd rather buy a rock solid bass with tried-and-true playability, which can hold its own even after I've got my Ric repaired.
Anyone please tell me which Hipshot Xtender could fit the Vintage Pro? Thanks!

I just learned something. Shows what I know about military airplanes.

You are most welcome.

And we're really glad you haven't been moved to Memorial Day!

Me, too.

I know only to well! Lol

I forgot about the EB(SG).

My first bass was a 66 Gibson EB-3(wish I hadn't sold it ), so whatever Epi/Gibby wants to call it, it'll always be an EB-__ to me.

It's reports from people owning/playing the 'new' NR's vs the 60s NR's-and their skinny necks-that have kept me from buying a reissue. That and, of course, mufunzalo.
On our last gig, I took the Epi Embassy due to a distinct possibility of lack of space. WRONG! Shoulda tooken the 67 NR.

60s NRs have a 1.5 nut width and neck thickness front to back varies greatly from somewhat thin to Louisville Slugger territory. The new NRs have a 1.6 width nut (honestly I thought I'd hate it but I don't) and rather full profile front to back bordering on beefy. My favorite are the 60's 1.5 with a beefy profile but at this point in the game I've learned to adapt to all manner of necks.

With my first bass being a skinny necked EB-3, then my second being the 67 NR, my(now)78 y/o, somewhat arthritic hands have gotten very accustomed to skinny/1.5. Anything else hurts.
I had a Squire VM Jaguar SS for a backup-for awhile. It felt fine in a 10 minute test; not so fine on a 3 hour gig. Sold it.

Same here, wish I still had mine.

Its name is Marsha. That is worth a premium.

I'd also like to know, my '19 has Wilkinsons, not sure what the '21 has, which I'd also like a drop on

Curious. It even had a bridge cover.
