I had not heard of those guys. Thanks. They are a blast. Their bass player is a beast.

Pelham blue Epi finally made it. She needs a little tlc. Very old strings. Neck volume pot is really stiff. Needs a good wipedown. Otherwise it's super clean, no scuffs, scratches or dings that I can see, doesn't even have buckle rash still has the case candy from 18~ years ago.
Not sure which I like better Donny - the boots or the bird! (Yes, I have a boot fetish AND a Tbird fetish).
Congrats on the New Bird Day! Very clean looking and I’m sure sweet sounding reverse. I don’t think they made a lot of those in that color.
Now all you need is some boots in the photo (LOL - see my previous post).
In response to Donny: the only way to go… Birds-n-boots…
You might be disappointed in my boots, I haven't put on any western wear in decades. I do kinda miss the fire engine red boots I had when I was little though!
Thanks though, I'm really glad I was able to snag this one. When I bought my 2010 CS LE in Alpine White, I had actually been saving up for one of the Pelham Blues, so this one is pretty special to me considering it's what I originally wanted way back then.
I kinda wish Epiphone was more transparent with things like production numbers on the LE birds but alas, we'll probably never know much about these.

Haven’t had an NR Monday in a long time. Finally had time today to round up all my NR birds for a quick photo. Here they be in all their NR glory…NR Monday!
Don't knock it, BaCH it!
Thanks. Those are some Dan Posts I got a crazy deal on. Me too. I have about as many boots as basses--maybe more, but I'm not going to count! It's a good illness to have.
Oh, yeah! Matching hat to top it all off! Good taste on all accounts. What are the boots?
My current footwear for today... Old US made Noconas (deertaned, nice and soft). I rescued these. They were badly neglected but look almost new after some proper care. A couple times! Might need resoling sometime this year. Old Noconas (also have an old cream pair of Buffalos), and one old pair of Dan Posts seem to be custom made for me, more so than some more expensive newer brands like Chisos.
And for the record, Thunderbirds sound better if played wearing boots.
That "same old thing" is worth more than a handful of typical Fenders and more rare than just about any Fender. That's a dream bass.
Yeah, but I could sell all my NRs and still not have enough money to buy your NR. That beast of yours is an heirloom instrument. Play it in good health and pass it on to the family when the time comes.
Drool flows out of my monitor every time this shows up. I assume that's coming from Marshall's keyboard.NR Monday!
Don't knock it, BaCH it!
It's an RNR.Wait a minute, is it still called a Non Reverse if you’re playing it reversed?
Not that it would be the first time I've been accused of being backwards, but aren't the regular ones the backwards ones?Well, the backwards club, anyway...
