those Boomers you sent are mellowing really nicely on my 23 P….hadn’t used Boomers in decades and as nice and zingy as they are outta the pack, they mellowed really nicely on that P highlighting those well known lower mids…..

The cover itself may be stock, but the added (for whatever reason) heavy gold-marker script is not. Note the original you posted is a fine-line. It wouldn't be hard to convincingly clone with a fine-point gold-pen.

Nicely done and a fair asking price (w/HSC) ... but over my acceptable weight and not my favorite finish colour.
I'ma give the Lathians the Willies while my Eustace puts the frets back in all their basses - even if the never had frets before.

I assume you are talking about the Greco. Let's face it, you'll never be happy with it. So just send it to me as a Fathers Day present.
Not since my acid days.

Funny thing about that. Our chimney is made of "clinker brick." Those are bricks that were burned and twisted during the fire. There were piles of them after the fire, and of course, nobody wanted to deal with them. They are also very dark and rustic looking, because they are curved and twisted. By 1906 when our house was built, the whole fake tudor thing was going, and clinker brick looked the part. So those started getting used, including our chimney. I don't know how long they lasted, but if you see a house in Seattle with a chimney like ours, it's probably from after about 1905 and before about 1910. Most of what is now Seattle, outside of downtown, was still forest and some farmland in 1900.
Love it. That's great to hear. They can sound a little harsh when new, depending on other variables, but once they mellow out, they thicken up in a very nice way.those Boomers you sent are mellowing really nicely on my 23 P….hadn’t used Boomers in decades and as nice and zingy as they are outta the pack, they mellowed really nicely on that P highlighting those well known lower mids…..
It's the Gibson '21 NR. Burgundy. Which, by the way, is the best looking then production color. But we all know that.
I saw a sidewalk move once because of that. They weren't racing. Unless I was going much faster than they were.
Watch it. That dude in the tan shorts is bending over to grab bass and run out while everyone is distracted. Oh, that's Dave. He didn't end up with an "extra" bass at the end of the day did he?
