I see you’re following your plan to take over the room, albeit slowly. Add a bass every few weeks. Then another amp. By May, you should have it appropriately turned into your bass room.

Unfortunately, next week will be a set back. My daughter, the shrink, is coming to babysit the dogs while I’m in Kauai. That’s the room she wants to stay in…I’ve been instructed to move outI see you’re following your plan to take over the room, albeit slowly. Add a bass every few weeks. Then another amp.

Opps I meant to post this one with the muddy working and the wiring sorted.![]()

Easy for me to say, I’m 250 miles away.
I'd say leaving a conveniently placed Thunderbird, limited edition no less, for her to admire and maybe even practice on is just good hospitality.Unfortunately, next week will be a set back.

That’s pretty much correct in how RL evolved from RU.I always played union rules. League has similarities, but is a bit closer to futbal americano. It was a whole lot of fun to play. League looks like it's more of a spectator sport than union rules. Rucks and set scrums aren't as free flowing.
Hey Jeff, is that a frangipani I spy?

That's fantastic sounding with the mudbucker. There's one more mudbucker in the parts drawer. I may have GAS all of a sudden. Hmmmm...I really like the tone that mudbucker is bringing.
A touch darkerNone more Black. Here's some more pictures! This bass reminds me why I love the Vintage Pro Thunderbird! After a quick set up the bass plays great, fret work is excellent. The Laurel wood fingerboard is the darkest I've seen, it's beautiful and the faux MOP dots really shimmer. The bass weighs in at 8.11 lbs. making it feel right. Really glad I snagged this demo. Video to follow.

Pretty. What's the story on the pickguard?Thursday's '76.

Nice work, it came out looking great!The original (I still have it) has a huge, ugly scuff across the face of it, and while that wasn't objectionable when I first got the bass because it was a total Road Warrior, after I had it refinned it needed something else. I made this one from Sheet styrene that I primed, and then airbrushed metallic purple, masked off the Bird then shot white, plus lots of gloss coat. It's held up really well.
