A most Happy Birthday to you, George @GBassNorth
To all (and I hope I haven’t missed anyone) thanks so much for the Birthday well wishes! It’s been a great year and I’m looking forward to trying to make it to the 2025 GTG.
They really need to ask us about Thunderbirds.
..
It’s definitely on the bucket list.

Even better “this is the bass I’d save in a house fire”Better - "I'll take this bass to my grave", meaning I'll own it until I die. Beth will outlive me and friends who know the value of my vintage basses will help her sell them for a good price. I've already promised a couple to friends.

Good evening folks, I am late to the party but hope Miles and George both have had very happy birthdays!
I stopped by the pawn shop, and while the EB5 did not come home with me, I was impressed. Great sounds and comfortable neck. A few scratches,but nothing serious. Exceeded my expectations as the saying goes. Going to visit the shop and try it again when its not late Friday on the way home after a very long day. I suspect fresh strings, a good set up, and some Deoxit would really make her sing.

That is a legendary clip among fans. Angry, raw, and intense.
The plan for me is to get an EB 5 very soon. I hope you decide to pick it up.
Red Sun Ruins will be doing a slow, heavy cover of CSN&Y’s Ohio, and fitting in the chorus of this in there. Coming soon….
I have a 4-sring version and I like it quite a lot. The pickups do have a strong magnetic pull which was (and still is to some degree) creating more fret buzz than I can tolerate. It wasn’t until I sunk the pickups into the body more than you would think you should, that the buzz was mitigated.
It’s nice and lightweight and has a different sound than any other bass I have. I have found the neck pickup in humbucker mode (neck volume knob in) and the bridge in single coil mode (bridge volume knob pulled up) is the best tone for me and the rig at my rehearsal space.
Another passing. A wonderful player. Sad to hear this.

Cool! I’ve always liked Cal Samuel’s line on it. He was a way underrated player.

I don't even like bringing that sort of thing to mind... having my '63 II stollen was bad enough.
Great demo! And love all the tones.
I assume that was for @Border , not me.
