Is that common where you are? Or is that a fear?
It was common a couple weeks ago, but now it is more of a question of will it happen again. I have a video of the missiles going over the top of my daughter's home. I'll try to post it without any commentary, just as an historical record. People generally don't understand how close all these areas are to one another. Example, the bus ride from Jerusalem to Bethlehem takes 10 minutes.

Shate of the collection after selling my Thunderbird. I’m infinitely happier now without my Epiphone Thunderbird Pro V. While the bass had its moments shining, it was too heavy, the neck was too wide, and the comfort was never there. Also, tone was never perfect.
Now, my Jaguar Bass is fast becoming a solid favourite. It’s light, has a skinny neck, is super comfortable, and can fit in the pocket of every cover song I do. My precision bass is similar, yet is more thummpy for classic tones. My Schecter nails metal and stingray tones if needed.
While I still adore the Thunderbird look, and occasionally eye a white one, I am not sure there is a Thunderbird shaped hole in my collection…

Yes. Different meaning. You should be good there. But if not, is it too forward to ask if I can have..... Never mind. You'll be fine.I am hoping NOT to see things like that here.

Thanks. I was really loving it yesterday. Only a little over 7lbs.

Try a Dingwall D Roc. Not exactly a traditional TBird, but dammit they're awesome.
If you try another one, try a IV, and not a Pro. Those (especially the V) are very unlike other Thunderbirds.

Played this through the Bugera at rehearsal last night, it really does sound fantastic - I don't think we managed to run that amp for the GTG, shame.
Quick question for y’all… Though I know it’s not a Thunderbird, would any of you happen to know the body thickness on the Les Paul DC Junior Bass? Also, do you know if the bass body is the same size as the Guitar body?
Thanks
Thanks
But alas, we did.Played this through the Bugera at rehearsal last night, it really does sound fantastic - I don't think we managed to run that amp for the GTG, shame.
Not only was that played through.
But wasn’t it Dave or Irv that ran the JC stereo?
Through the Trace and Bugera?

this one made me think of you….an interesting clip on the cool marriage of Italian design and American Oomph…try to ignore the annoying CG South African(?) accent….long gone days….
