Hey Chuck - there’s a Lambo in Santa Cruz right now that you might be able to pick up real cheap…

Made the local news - more than just a little embarasing!

Credit to Gator. Sent them the invoice and photos and they're sending me a replacement.

I’ve never had to make a claim. But I’ve had posted experiences with their products.

I mix them up too. Actually that was a Meredith Brooks song.

I love Alanis's version. I'll have to check out the other.

Hard to get a decent pic of the real color!

This is fairly close. The reality is a bit lighter shade.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Bunnies are jealous.

They would be if they weren't so excited to be part of that trio! But they do want some sparkle of their own.

I also had a ProGo replaced. How do you use yours, and how often do you take your gear out of the house?Practicing and gigging via NYC subway must really take a toll on them. If I had a car, I would probably just use the hard case, or at least not use the backpack straps.

Love it!!!
That’s probably the best sparkle job I’ve seen on a purple sparkle VP yet. Mine isn’t nearly as thick on sparkle as yours, nor is it as purple as yours. I think there might be a finishing difference between the Canadian and US market sparkles. You’re gonna love the sound. A bit deeper voiced than the original VP but not as dark as a TB+ pickup, sits nicely between the two. Action on mine is great. The only issue I had to deal with was the pickups had a slight back tilt to them, quick fix with a piece of foam added under the pickups.
Can’t wait to hear your review on the new bird!

Yeah, this one's color and sparkle were better than I anticipated!
These pickups have a good bit more low end compared to my 2019 VP (while those p/u are gone, I recall quite well what they sounded like). I'm really anticipating the Thunderbucker comparison.
The bridge pickup is angled pretty well, IIRC, while the neck pickup is more or less parallel to the body.

I don’t have a gator bag. Just a couple hard cases, a rack case, and a stand. All good products.

Get it!

We thought you'd be on it!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

You need a blue one in there.

I ain't got time for the blues right now!

 

[BklynKen]

I sooooooo cannot afford that right now. Plus I already have one.

 

[Ringhammer]

Plus I already have one.

“one”??

Can I put you in contact with the household CFO?

Bad idea, most likely.

Hey Chuck,
Did Rosa make some for you?

Those are Mexican Wedding cookies.

My wife used to make those a lot when the kids were young. Her grandmother’s recipe.
