Either/or; neither/noir?

Not a Tbird, but Gibson content:
My first outing with the Ripper was accompanying my daughter on a classical bass duet.
If you're interested my part starts about 45:20.

wow, you must be sooooo proud.

Butler (German) bow I love music like this! Be very proud as I know you are.

Film Noir is interesting - the premise is most usually based on fate and its ramifications. So typing in "noir" came up with a lot of cool B&W images, but not all descriptive of the genre of Film Noir. This one seems fitting as a doorway is symbolic of transition - one either steps forward or retreats back to the entrance/door. (fate) Stylistically in film, "noir" is B&W, long shadows, dramatic lighting/compositions, which this pic encapsulates. Always has been a favorite genre of mine. Favorite Noir film? That's a hard one... what's yours?

Probably the Blue Dahlia. Veronica Lake. Say no more.

Managed to snap a pair of EB5 pickups today for a very cheap price. No idea what I'll do with them 'though. No five stringers in my collection. At least yet...

Stop buying all those other things you’ve gotten, and there’s your dough.

Way to be the adult.

Right now I'm bouncing back and forth between ordering Karmann Ghia and bass parts

Karmann Ghia.

Put them in at an angle.

Oh, I’m not so sure about that.

 

[JJR58]

So I restrung the J with these just now.
Actually impressed.
Tension is perfect for me.
Very easy to play.
Very well balanced tonally.
With a slight exception to where the low mids meet the upper mids.
Not necessarily a bad thing.

Still getting used to them as compared to EBCF’s.

So far I like what I’m hearing.
The true test is what they will be like when they break in a bit.

 

[Engle]

That’s a wild piece. Never heard it before. Great job!

Thanks. It took me 3 weeks to learn it!

What these coil-splittable EB/T-Bird pickups were called again?

 

[Engle]

Very cool! Have you-or anyone here-ever tried the electric bow thingy like Jimmy Page used to use.?

Is it called the e-bow? No, but I think I know someone with one.

Are you talking about the DeCola?

 

[GonePlaid]

Is it called the e-bow? No, but I think I know someone with one.

Yes, that. I've thought about getting one, mostly for concert band, but they ain't cheap. And I am.

Yes, we are proud of her!
Learning that piece was quite the eye opener to how much work Classical musicians put in.
Every arpeggio is different and the intervals are not player friendly. So I had to work out specific fingerings and if I lost focus, it was a bit of a train wreck recovering. Being able to read quickly would have helped.

Thanks! Yes I had bought a German bow when I got the bass and Mar has stuck with it. She bought a much higher quality bow last year at the Bass Church in Seattle.

 

[Engle]

Very cool. Congratulations!

Thanks Marshall! It's good to stretch and play something other than rock now and again.
