This one works for both my VP’s with room to spare:

Heavy Duty 20mm Gig Bag for Thunderbird Bass TB20 | eBay

Just for S&G, I looked at this^. At 50" long, it's too short for the 67 NR. BUT. The 20mm gig bag for an Explorer bass at the top of the ad is 52" long. Now, I'm set with my Rockbag, but the Explorer bag might work for a Reverse body TBird.

Looks like it could double as a sleeping bag...

I have one of those also - fits my '64 II & other T-bird shaped objects. Minimal but it'll get your bass to the gig.

It'd prolly work for mine if I took a saw to the h.s. just north of the G tuner.

Just whack a patron that doesn't leave a tip. That will shorten it a bit.

Is it DeCola Sadterday already?

I thinks the earlier version sits more thunderbird-like and the later version sits more 7ender-like.

uhgg I shaging hate those gibstone knobs…

That's how my BC Rich is wired. I have nothing else to compare it with on that particular bass, but I'm a set-it-and-forget-it type person.

With a BCRich, it's best to just get a tone and leave it. You can spend hours going through the combinations.

That red EB is pretty. I've only seen burst ones around here

Cool buy. Just out of curiosity, did you win the lottery or something? New basses, a Vette, a twenty year old girlfriend….

Tried my second 64 Epiphone at band rehearsal last night through my 50 watt Fender ACB signature amp. The only way I can describe my silver 64 compared to the ember red one is noisy, almost like it has 60 cycle hum, but my oath did that combination sound erotic. Every note had weight and authority. I was grinning all night.

Exactly, plus the electronics do some weird stuff. Even with the boost circuit off, the boost volume knob affects the tone.

And darn lucky too. I rented one in Monroe, LA while waiting for my stuff to arrive from Huntington Beach, CA. I was on a frontage road off I20 bringing some burgers, fries, and shakes back to the Holiday Inn Holidome when a lady from Tennessee driving a van crossed the center divider. I flashed lights, laid on the horn but she kept coming. My choice was hit her or drive into a drainage ditch and risk ending up on I20 going the wrong way. So, I pulled as far right as I could and as she hit me, threw the car into a spin to pivot around the impact point. Since it was dark and the cops demanded I get checked out at the hospital, I didn't see the condition of the car.

The next day I took the wife to the rental lot to look at the car. It was cracked in half like an egg right at the landau roof line and the support pillar from just behind the driver's seat was driven through the back seat. The rear axle was missing...the real fun part is you can imagine what dried chocolate milkshake looked like all over the inside of the car after sitting out in 100 degree Louisiana weather. All that chrome and steel likely saved me from looking like those milkshakes.

Wow! Glad your all OK. Says a lot about how safe cars are built now. I was in a head on many years ago and the old cars were heavy and no give in the body or frame. 3 people were killed and the cars were unrecognizable. I was a passenger. I still vividly remember! Scary stuff.

Might I suggest an avatar update?

That’s probably overdue

That’s much better.

On mine the tone control doesn't operate normally, no matter which way I wire it

Same here! It's kinda fun how quirky they are.

It's looking positive for my heavy band to get back together. The guitarist gave me my Eagle (the conversation went "Dude I'm never going to get this put back together, but I know you will"), so it'll be cool to play in that band
It's probably going to get heavier strings for D or C# tuning soon. Something bright!

My goodness. Glad you made it.
New cars, for all their faults, are in most cases much safer than older ones. There was a study done that I read about using a typical 50s model verses a typical 2000s, I think it was. Something like that. The newer was much better to be in if a crash happened in most scenarios. Thus I go for big modern truck truck with great ratings. Best of both worlds.

That’s why I drive a 2015 GMC Sierra.
