I'm confused with the machine saying Sanitaria. Are the selections drinks, coffee or "personal protection" coverings? They sure have some interesting names, especially if it's the latter.

Killer tone and playing Scott!

 

[dagrev]

Mmmmm, I need to plan a trip….

What? No need to go that far. You don't have street corners or parking lots in NYC?

 

[dagrev]

I'll bring you a surprise in July

A ticket to Italy?

So my Dingwall is sitting at the UPS facility in the next town north of me, and has been since 9PM last night. I swear they're just doing this to be cruel.

Painful I know. Nevertheless, be thankful it's not being shipped by FedMess. At least you have a better chance of actually getting it.

I’m sure that’s what he means

And in one piece.

I have played a few Squires in the last few years in stores and I was impressed. Very good bang for the buck IMO.

I played French Horn in High School Orchestra and the ladies really liked it!
Oh who am I fooling? I quit and grew my hair long and played Bass in a Rock n Roll band. I was a little more popular!

John Entwistle played a French Horn as well!

Just snagged this Epiphone Blackbird for around 250$. Paired with my mysterious japanese sixx.

Ironically I don’t even listen to nikki sixx’s music.

I shortly upgraded the bridge with a hipshot. miles better than the
stock 3 point

Great looking basses!!

Of the two signature instruments I own, I purchased for the uniqueness of their aesthetics, not so much the artists who commissioned them-

In the case of the Alpine White Lizzy Hale Explorer guitar with gold hardware and white body and neck binding , a truly beautiful instrument, I had never even heard of the person.

The other is my most recent purchase of the G2 Gene Simmons Thunderbird - was really taken by the white binding on the Ebony neck and body-

But I’ll say this, whether I knew of them or liked their music, they had great taste in instruments-

Mmmmm, I need to plan a trip….

To Vancouver!

 

[Engle]

yes, but notice is asks you to “borrow” someone’s (italian national) health insurance card to operate the machine if you’re foreigner and don’t have one…
so you can ask a policeman, a nun or whoever happens to be walking by….….only in Italy….

So funny! I guess they aren't worried about teenagers accessing it?

Good take and I agree! Alot of my guitar and bass collection are signatures with the same sentiments

Speaking of Sixx, thought not an avid fan of Motley Crue, I was impressed by the heavy bass tone in the intro of the title track of their album Dr. Feelgood”.

Does the Hipshot hang over the edges of the center section on the Epi?

Frank and I spent the morning visiting The Museum of Flight to enjoy a model show.......

Some nice work too!

F.A.S.

An amazing collection of 1/35th Armor, this was all done by one guy!

Waved "Hi" to Chuck's fave!

A restored Lockheed Electra, this plane flew for Northwest Airlines, U.S. Army the Brazilian Airforce and a couple of private carriers before coming to the museum in '97. It's been restored to look like Amelia Earhart's, up close it is a beautiful thing.
