It’s 3 Thunderbirds in one.

Only three?

The USPS returned the lost mail to Dave Handloff. The "Dan" in note from Jess Oliver is the guy that consigned the B-15NC to Dave. At least this provides some history for my B-15. Now I need the Chuckster to give it another look. Something popped.

And there is a signed copy of the patent. Clearly Dave gave me a deal.

Really. All I need is that one.

hmmm….Chuck gave you a deal…cool club huh?….

Considering you work so closely with him, I’d say yeah, you played a big part in that.

I recall drooling over a Lafayette catalog guitar - greenburst with green tort. And 4 pickups.

They used to have some interesting Matsumoko guitars and basses. I forget what the label was.

Ya, you definitely were the negotiator.

There is some money in it for you. The issue isn’t my lousy power this time, something definitely went south. If you are ever headed north, let me know.

Actually, it's been done. On TV: Seinfeld.

You trying to cause a problem here?

This is what a Precision should look like.

Save the pepperoni for pizza.

Mine looks like that. Of course, the "P" stands for "poseur" because mine is a 2010 Road Worn, not a 1957 Precision, but that's just details.

I like the tort on the '62 J. Some had black (Leon's did) and I don't care for that. The '58 is even more to my liking. George has the sister of the Jazz in a P and it does look nice as well.

(The paper is my one bass lesson a guy wrote down for me.)

Someone once told me that tort doesn’t belong on a Jazz, but on a Precision, but I accepted this one as it came. Cola (candy cola in this case) goes pretty well with pepperoni pizza-

For desert I’m more inclined toward butterscotch, vanilla, or oeufs á la neiges.

In this case, which was new old stock and whose sticker left a bright white spot on an otherwise yellowed pickguard I replaced the original with white pearlescent one (though not that discernible in the photo)

Awww, thank you Geo

You wouldn't by chance have a watermarked version of this?

More like beer marked.

I don’t. But I can still send you the file if you’d like.

Nonsense! The Thunderbird VI is the long awaited equivalent to the Firebird VII !

then why don't they have 6 & 7 pickups each?

 

[JJR58]

I seem to recall a few in that natural Precision of yours

Thank you Work on that watermark!
