Asking 1800

That’s about 800 too high for that condition bass.

For a water damaged bass, with a refin/new faceplate (unbound, non diamond inlay), new nut, upside down replacement black keys (vs the schaller nickel/chrome keys). Chicken knobs vs the Volume/treble/bass reflector knobs. Say the electronics/pickups work, & the truss rod can be adjusted - for the condition & all the above, i wouldn't go over 700$ for it TBH. If there's no case, 500$. Seems like a lowball offer for such a bass, but damn, the condition ruins the whole value.

maybe Nina DID pee on the B-15….

Free vintage aroma.

There was a guy who checked in a year or more ago who knew this guy. Some place in So. America. Said he actually does pretty good work or repairs or something like that. But I have some questions.

Especially when the tubes heat up...

At least that sign is clear.
This one popped up in our little town on the Chesapeake Bay.
I guess it means if you are an idiot and get hurt on the water or on the rocks,it’s on you. What ever happened to just telling your kids..Don’t do stupid sh**?
Might need Marshall to interpret.
No Gators up our way..except me maybe.
Cheers.

This is the problem. The parents don't know so they keep the inferior gene pool overflowing. Disproving Darwin.
We all did stupid stuff, but were trained professionals with experience--and knew it was our fault if it didn't go well--not someone else's. Learning common sense seems a lost art.

Having just a wee bit too much fun for a bass player there!

No, it's where you pet crops. They might even allow you to hug a tree.

That's a good one! Definitely has my vote for clever post of the day.

So cutting a line on the bar is permitted there? Y'all do have some different things in California!

I especially like the precise sheetrock screw mounting technique they used.

Well, that's a Thunderbird player for you. Not just any bass player. The usual rules don't apply.

 

[Rickplaysbass]

with case?

I see no case and he doesn't mention it.

Also pretty sure it looks water damaged to me, but I'm nowhere near an expert

I'm not "that guy" lurking in the shadows near the drummer, never wanted to be that kind of bass player, I'm an unashamed attention #$%&@.

So, Thunderbird player. It checks out.

Update: I contacted Epiphone and they are dual action truss rods.

I was thinking about my VP and in the five or six years I’ve had it, I only recall tightening it about an eighth of a turn when I got it. The neck is pretty stable.

Climatic conditions matter. I don't typically adjust anything much either. Living in the midwest or Kentucky would make it a whole lot different. Mike probably doesn't need to adjust his Thunderbird much in Florida, since it's always steaming and humid there. He just has to make sure it doesn't mold.

You might as well get the turntable it's setting on too!
