As they should. The idea of Ric is far better than actual Ric.
The now limited edition white VP with GHS Precision Flats got used yesterday. Forgot how great it sounds live. Both pickups, neck only, fingers or pick. All great.
Just an observation, I've never had any clothes that matched anything Alice or anyone in his band had.

Congrats. Hope everyone is and stays healthy.
LOL - that color code *P32 (Waikiki Gold) sounds like something I would have smoked years ago.

Alice Cooper was my first concert, May of '73 for the Billion Dollar Babies tour, still one of the very best shows I've ever seen - Led Zep was a snorefest in comparison.

, I wouldn't really care.
Dude must be 8' tall with that roll bar.
I was just thinking you would be a trip/fall hazard for other attenders. Safety first.Being
I had a gig Saturday night which, although there were a few hiccups with the on-stage sound, by all accounts the out-front sound was good, and the crowd was enthusiastic.
I was not able to use my 2 VPs for the gig because I have no way to transport the second VP, but my Pbird and the DeCola loaded Epiphone IV/Pneck certainly performed admirably.
I still haven't found a gig bag which will work, and would rather not buy another heavy hard case. I have however found a very well padded snowboard bag, 62"×13.77" which may work, the VPs are 14" wide, so maybe not. I guess I can order and return ( it is 7" high, so may have some wiggle room, but will continue to look for something 15" wide first. I haven't been able to find a long enough keyboard bag.

The Coffin case gig bag dimensions looked like they might work for my oversized T5. Might check those out.
off the shelf generic, removable…
Thanks, I'll check them out (any sources?). Ihad T5, it was 49" long, the VPs are closer to 51".

That sure looks like fun.
My dad had an Austin Healey 3000 back in the late '70s. I could keep it running. Those cars are a whole lot of fun. The hot setup at one point was to stuff an American V8 into an Austin Healy. The transmission and rear end could take it, and it turned them into a different beast than a straight six car. Given the option, I'll take the six for a lot of reasons.

Plus, being a roadster, it has to be tall enough to protect the driver's head even if he or she isn't right under the roll bar. There's no roll cage, which could be a bit lower for the same safety margin.
