There were some Gibsons in the 60’s that had colour matched headstocks, according to Geddy Lee.
Custom colours were less predictable for obvious reasons.

yep, mine’s a keeper…. in fact, prefer it to the 2021s I’ve tried….I think Chucky likes his too. Mine is great.
you’re way too nice…I get the bandmate humor, and have my share of issues with certain drummers I've played with, but I am generally very nice to drummers I play with as they are my direct connection with the end result as part of the rhythm section. I'm not afraid to ask for this or that way of playing in a song but always paraphrase it with... "...I'm not a drummer and don't want to tell you what to do, but...". Classic passive-aggressive move.![]()
I have many friends that are drummers, probably more than guitarists. At least ones I would play with![]()
you’re way too nice…
I became a big fan of it when I spent time studying abroad in Britain. There are a half dozen places within five miles of me. I can’t convince anyone to go with me to try them.SO GOOD!!!! Unfortunately, I'm the only one in my entire family that'll eat Indian food.![]()
You ought to consider picking up that blue one.That is a very nice bass!

cool backdrop, great pic..
although I don’t refuse it, Indian is way too complex for me….I like fresh (even raw) and simple, totally agree with you on Italian…. not because I’m one but convinced that along with Japanese make for the best balance on taste and variety out there…I too like Indian food - I like most ethnic/cultural varieties for that matter. Beth can make dishes in most any variety and there's not one I've not liked yet. Favorite?... as much as I like many others - I guess I'll have to say Italian, as it's what I eat the most. I am of Polish/Czech descent - but have always loved pasta.
very cool, do they pay?

What type of coating?
