Back shot of the Carvin. The thing is all so black that it's like Hotblack Desiato's stunt ship.
I'm old and am not up on the hip lingo, that's all I got.
I haven’t heard that term in ages!

Sure, whatever color you think it is but "appears" to be white on my laptop. That old funky looking thing. You probably don't want to gig it anyway given the funky color.
The Bling Bird should be displayed in a glass case.Turned two of my five slots into seven slots…

an eight slot might be a bit tight for birds.
Now that’s “Belts and Suspenders” in action!
LOL - You already got my Black BaCH, let’s not get greedy.
Yeah, that purple one.
I like "No Smoke" and "Just Testing" too, especially the latter. But "Live Dates II" is my fav WA album, the double vinyl edition.
Recently released "Live In Guilford 1980" is excellent too.
Wow Ken! That baby really cleaned up well.
The black one stays put. I’m fortunate he sold it to me.trade him your black one for it….,
I have Guildford as part of the 30 cd boxed set collection. Agreed.

Recall he got lost last time he borrowed someone’s car…..
20-something years ago, way before Gibson put out a left-handed Thunderbird.
Nope, 8 is the magic number. 4.5" center to center on the yokes. I have two spaces left. One for the JC and then what should the other be? 1968 National, 1966 Kawai, Danelectro DC58, or 1992 Peavey Foundation?

Yeah, but California!
Somebody got a new set of strings today, I have these on my '64 II and really like them.
So, I sat down and played for about 45 minutes and I'm thoroughly impressed with both, the bass and the strings.
Bombay Sapphire rules!
The real meaning of today. I was going through some of my mom's piles of papers and came across this.
Wonderful! I just ordered a set for my Carvin to check out. I had what I think are Power Steels and they sounded good, but I got a cool tone from it with the Contour switch on my GK, which tells me that some inherent mid scooping compliments the single coils. I put on last night a set of D'Addario Pro Steels, which I hated on the Thunderbird because of the scooped sound, and they sound good, but not sure they're the answer. I'm eager to try the Power Wounds. The warmer nature of nickel may work well for those pickups. What do you think of them compared to the Power Steels?Yeah, but California!

I was up at the mountain and played the VP last night. It had been awhile. I realized that the strings on it are nickel rounds, not stainless. I think they are NYXL’s. I recall liking them for awhile, then I kinda soured on the bass. Maybe I’ll try those.
