I was expecting to find a routing canal, but Epi didn’t use those on these birds.

A weird one in the wild: https://reverb.com/item/76006759-gi...usly-owned-by-johnny-winter-sunburst-1965?bk=

First, the only "evidence" of ownership is a tag with Johnny's name on it. While I hope CME is trustworthy, that's a bit weak. Second, Johnny wasn't a bass player. Or he wasn't known as such. You got a Johnny Winter Firebird? That'll fetch a fat premium. So at this price, it's a hard pass.

That has been on there a long time. I recall seeing it last year. Who knows. It looks nice. If he owned it, he rarely picked it up. I’m not going to ever buy one though. But offer $7500 and see what happens. Easy for me to say…

This seller is local to me. He keeps increasing the price with each new round of adds.

That is a POS posted by a delusional seller. The pickups/electronics are worth something, but otherwise….

I have them on a custom Jack Casady. They are definitely lower tension than EBCF or SIT Power Flats. Though I have to admit EBCF are a match made in heaven for my Epi Classic Pro.

The EBCFs are a pass for me. They didn’t sound anything but ok on any of the Tbirds I tried them on. Thunderbirds thrive with stainless steels rounds. They’re tough birds.

I'm hip(OK, not really). Last week's concert band rehearsal, the TBird sounded effing great. Last night, not quite as good. Same settings, same room, same music, even same hearing aids. WT7?

Too much peanut butter whiskey.

I know you don't like FL, but between yer fires and that [stuff], I'm staying here. With 'canes we get notice to do-or not-something. Like leave.

I get that Mike. But unless you’re +or- five miles the epicenter, modern homes/buildings usually survive a 6 or less with little or no damage. Hurricanes are a lot more dangerous IMO. The fires scare the poppie out of me. Fun fact. 95% of our fires are started by people. Like the idiot a couple weeks ago near Chico who set his car on fire, pushed it into a ravine, and started a fire that is still going. Stupid is as stupid does. Stupid people suck.

Most guitarists own a bass for recording 'home' demo's of their work. I wouldn't doubt JW owning a similarly iconic bass as the guitars he played.

Wow, 5.3 is getting up there...

Rocking and rolling today too. Most we’ve felt since the Northridge quake. Messed up a surveillance camera up at the other house.

Not taking offers more than about 10% off. Good luck.

Maybe it was my irritation of having to deal with the water heater installer's ramblings-as described elsewhere. I kinda wasn't in the mood to be playing last night. Which is sorta strange 'cos I get featured a coupla times in one selection. Oh, well, LSTYD.

That issue will be in the past soon enough.

Bond Girl had a rehearsal tonight preparing for our show this coming Sunday. The rehearsal went well, but I never felt the sound was good, It was ok.., enough to proceed/hone our (2) sets, but to me the overall sound was just... ok. I've mentioned this before here... depending on many things - some out of our control.., conditions can make or break the "sound" of a rehearsal. Tonight, I very much felt this - all my settings were exactly the same, playing the same bass... but something was "off". Oh well... mission accomplished and hopes for a good sound on Sunday. It's just how it goes sometimes...

And we were having earthquakes here. Coincidence?

All Thunderbirds, dog and people accounted for and doing OK?

We’re all fine. We have had a messed up pool deck for a few years. It’s worse today with a quarter inch gap above the tile surround in one spot. Otherwise, nothing else we noticed today.
