I liked reading your two replies there as one.

Yep. Dave is apparently passing on that ‘79 Greco II. It has your name on it Miles.

And it will be here within a week or two ...


... of them cutting the price in half.

I

Ha! I got an A in Chemistry and a U in conduct. Conduct was graded E, S, U. Never could figure that out except that it was apparent the teacher hated me. I was a good kid. Mostly. But it had some kind of ramification at graduation. I don’t even recall what that was. And I didn’t GAS. Then or now.

It's still on your permanent record!

You know, the 45RPM demo you and your band made that's buried in a time capsule everyone forgot the location of?

Jamon Serrano o pata negra?

Jabugo..

I'll fight over it at that price.

Back country. But is that what they also call the jamon? Haven't heard that one.

Last night I got to meet @Butcherboy and his wife.
2 of the most beautiful and sincere people I’ve met in a long time.
They welcomed Anja and I with open arms.
I was gifted this Gibson book.
And was introduced to some awesome basses.
But it was the people that made last night special.

Hmmm, never seen one of those on the menu at Burger King before.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

That's a hard cover version of "The Book" cherish it!
That the nice people in this club find a way to meet each other in the flesh all over the world never ceases to amaze me, it's something very special, very touching.
All because we love these basses so much.

Clearly Thunderbirds choose the coolest people.

Thunderbirds only choose great people.

[edit] Miles beat me to it. It just goes to show.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

This is a great conversation.

"Stand by Me" was probably the first bass line I taught myself on bass.

Not my first, but do love it.

There were a few cassettes of gigs with a couple versions of the band. No idea what happened to them.

Cage match!

 

[Stealth57]

Cage match!

Flying headstocks at 10 paces.

Mine were the Klaus Voormann line for It Don’t Come Easy and McVie’s line for Albatross.

establishment....like Miura bulls...

That was super cool. WRT how they approach playing, I feel seen. Now if only I could play 1/10th that well.

I suppose. I remember now that it had something to do with a Scholastic Federation award or something like that.

I don't remember the first "real" bass line I learned. I remember spending a lot of time figuring out the solos on My Generation. There was no such thing as tabs back then, so I wore out a record and probably drove my roommates to drinking.
