Tell you what.... You get me a Gibson bird and I'll rip the pickups out and send them to you free of charge. That way everybody wins.

I get it, reverse psychology, I could buy Gibson pickups for $129, but I *should* just buy a whoie bass to simplify matters. :woot:

I think the bass in the video is the bass equivalent of a Gibson ES355 (EB-2C?). Mine is completely different, an Eastwood solid body with through cut F holes. Mines not nearly as valuable as the Gibson but does sound quite nice and looks very unique.


Don’t think I’d want to see a 250 pound Rottweiler strung out on hallucinogen's.

That wouldn't be good, but CBD doesn't have those properties. CBD for dogs shouldn't have any THC in it.

First you never clarified from your post about Mark Farner being your Dad?
Second I'm here to help if you are running out of room with all of those Basses!

Dunno for sure but one them 4 Chiquita's from Omaha is a close relative....

I got two epi embassies, a 21 NR, a DC danelectro, and some 7enderboid bodies and who knows what else tucked away in the closet...

My Inverness Green one only cost me 1k because of some pretty glaring finish issues so I felt pretty comfortable modding the crap out of it. The Burgundy one cost a fair bit more so if I ever do decide to sell it I think I'll get more $ if I leave it stock.

I got my burgundy at a significant discount because the handle on the case wasn't sewn correctly....

I hate when the case handle isn't sewn right...it affects how the bass plays!
This Thunderbird Bass had a badly sewn case handle and now it plays like smelly feet. Ha!
