I have been eye-balling those knobs.

 

[JIO]

I’ve got some cool metal knobs I’d like to sell that go great on Burst, Natural and Black birds:

Antique Brass (on burst)

Bright Brass (on natural)

shiny Stainless Steel (on black)
View attachment 5370772 View attachment 5370773

The shiny brass is brighter than it looks in the pics.

These are set screw and fit nicely over my original Gibson pots that are on the three pre-2000 basses they are currently on.

I’d like $40 per set plus $6 shipping.

Best knobs for metal...

Just got back from practice my new new Greco II and dang it sounded so good! Fit in perfectly with my 3 piece. It’s a keeper for sure.

Somebody needs to buy this bass. The seller dropped the price again.

I think it's the pickguard throwing me off!

Thunderbird Motel Yass (about 4hrs down the road from me) had had a makeover.
That’s a new logo as well

Sweet! What kind of music are you playing?

Sweet! What kind of music are you playing?

rock ish, with a little jam band type style to it. It’s a little all over the place, but the rock family for sure. Just me and some friends writing originals and having fun

Same here. But you are the man that could create a better looking one.

I know a guy who could make a new one.

Between the colors and shape I just can't. Are you trying to resist?

Mona in Seattle on the beach -

Mona is visiting Seattle and you're not?


FWIW the weather here is grim - in a way that only Seattle can be, 35 degrees rain/snow for at least 8 days straight,

Yes, the previous sign wasn’t as impressive

 

[JIO]

This is an odd duck... not sure what the "revisited" part means - looks to have '60s style pu's, an ebony fb and Gotoh tuners(?).

Not me. I don't think it would sound any different than my Cataldo so no point. Also I have something else in the works if things align correctly.

Glad I'm missing that part! Beth is there (w/Mona) attending a seminar.

Founding commemorative model? It is a Bi-cen, based on the pickguard. I wonder if the finish is original.

Possibly original white amber'd from age, but the black hs face was 'whited-out". No extra holes on the back of the hs and yes, the bicentennial pg - a real hodge-pudge.

trippy stuff…
