I'm down to Qatar and Singapore, I don't fly domestic much anymore. I dropped Emirates off the list as the cabin crew went from respectful international types to grumpy old white women.

My only Gibson offering for Wednesday is this.
Mid 2000’s in PDX and my tobacco burst LPB.
Yeah, I really did play live.

I'm not a good guy to ask about necks as I'm not picky, but I would say it's not chunky and it's not thin.
maybe it's close to my 21 nr? maybe... PBass-like
I do believe the 2017 EB4 is jazz-like
I tend to categorize as follows...
1) chunky
2) Pbass
3) Jazz
4) thin as shag

We're enjoying a gray, rainy spring here so far, maybe a couple nice days coming up..........
I need to get started shaping up your accommodations, there's too many electric trains out and about, they need to go back in the closet

I’m low maintenance, just some blankies and pillows.
The trains can stay.

I'm not surprised. I don't understand at all why Gibson gave up on those after two lousy years. I was playing mine last night at a rehearsal, and it sounded great. I hate to admit that it sounded as good as a Thunderbird, except a little different of course. The ergos aren't quite as good a Thunderbird, at least for me. But it's a keeper for sure. I let mine go for what I paid for it, but then I was able to get it back again. I won't be letting it go again. Refinishing it a different color is pretty likely in time. Mine is burst.Ok I figured I would really like this bass and I was right…
I’m also learning to like rounds on fretted.
the KB-1 came with chromes and I likes them.
the eb4 cames with elixers and I likes them too.
changed the knobs and it’s perfect.
My favourite!Wednesday it is............
Pelican sells these TSA approved locks for their cases but I'd imagine you could use any TSA approved lock that you want. There are padlock holes at each latch.

I bought my BaCH NR IV from this seller. He was great to deal with. Quickly responded to questions. The bass was professionally packed and as described. Shipping was 3 days via UPS from Sweden to NY.

Same thing happened at the track where I used to race. Build a fancy house next to a race track and what can you expect? Loud racing engines, of course. Why is that a surprise? Oh, well.
Regional airports that have been around for 50+ years get the same
lawsuits.

They are similar. My CroMagnon hands don't feel much difference. The back of an EB neck might be a little flatter than a Thunderbird neck. An EB neck might be marginally wider. But neither is enough to be particularly noticeable. My Precision has an aircraft carrier deck, and I can easily tell the difference between that one and a Thunderbird. The P-Bird neck is a modern Precision width, and I can easily tell the difference there, too. I think the difference is only 1/8" but I haven't measured it.
If you ever see a lefty, it's worth jumping on if you can.

For what it's worth, I kinda like this weather. Riding the motorcycle in the soup is fun if you have the right screws rattling around in your head.
