Interesting graphic EQ settings on the Trace (I miss my Trace amp)

“does the EQ work?”……..”oh sorry forgot to set it back”…

Lets help Ken spend some money

Greco Non-Reverse Thunderbird 1990 - Tobacco Burst | Reverb

He should. The gouge looks repairable. Price seems a bit steep?

Geo did a great job repairing my TV Silver EPI with a similar gouge. It shouldn’t be too hard for the guy who converted his ‘13 to fix it, particularly since the damage appears to be in the black area of the burst.

To me that chunk missing is not a "cool looking chip". It would make a cool project, but should be priced accordingly.

Really like that proper "Non-Reverse" shape, @BklynKen mentioned a few days ago that Greco made one but it's the first one I've seen.
The chip is not as cool-looking as no chip would be - but would make it tempting to do an entire refin . . . just to personalise such an unusual instrument!

Looks to be in 'closet classic' condition - for only 10 bills...

That's the cleanest one I've seen - and speaking of VGC... here's a flawless, basically NOS 1966 P-bass from Istanbul of all places. fender precision bass vintage 1966 | eBay

Too bad no one would want one of my kidneys. But that is too much IMO. Although Mike would be happy if it went for that. Maybe $6500 - $7500?

Hmm. 3 point and claw. Interesting. Unfortunately, mufunzalo.

I'd trade my red reverse for that one, the finish "chunk" would get repaired when we go champagne sparkle on the finish... priced way too high as it is...

@JIO The CD is very tight musically. Kirstin's French accent is seductive and her voice is . Great job!

Thanks Dave! I'm very proud of what we have accomplished.

That looks virtually brand new!!

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

From my perspective helicopter pilots are ok, fighter pilots are generally jerks, and the rest are something in between. Another reason I hated going to the Midway.

I was gone a few days. This arrived yesterday.

Mine arrived yesterday. I was at the mountain since Saturday and at the Sherman Oaks office until today. Someone (my son) messed with the stereo system and I can’t get sound from the disc player. Ugh. I hate it when that happens. It’ll be a few days before I can play it.

Does your VCR flash 12:00?

My daughters’s best friend is married to a chopper pilot stationed in South Korea. She visits them once a year. According to her, he is the nicest guy in the world.

She is a flight attendant now, about to start pilot training. She has mixed feelings about pilots she works with. Some are great. Some are ok. And some, mostly the older ones (with one exception) are jerks. The jerks are pretty much Iraq War era vets.

If I were single…and she wasn’t married to a law enforcement officer…..

 

[JIO]

Agreed.

Yah, I've never seen one so perfect, like it just came out of the factory. Even the case looks new!

Hah! Nick is a High School coach and a great guy. They and their two little girls give me hope for the future.

VCR? I actually have one hooked up to the system. For old music VCR tapes. Mostly Neil, Yes, and the Boss. And no Ken, it’s not flashing.

But yeah, I’m ancient. Same age as Jeff.

Nick is a lucky guy.
