Just learned that The Who's 1971 Oval show from September 1971 will be released on August.

What are that three objects in the background? Cameras? Projectors?

I didn’t see a single Gibson bass, and only two that aren’t solid bodies. That Gretsch is gorgeous. And huge.

I see this and realize how many basses I have NO interest in at all. I just no fan of modern basses. I’ve tried quite a few over the years and they are just not for me.

I do see an Ibanez Roadstar up there. My first good bass was a brand new (1985) Ibanez Roadstar II, black with a black pg. I very quickly had a J pickup routed in and used an EMG P/J set. Eventually the bridge got swapped for a black Schaller and the tuners changed to black. Very ‘80’s… funny to think that my MO of modding my basses started from the get-go.

There's a place in Chicago that has massively thick pies similar to that. One piece and you're done.

they're good... they wrap hot dog franks in bacon too....

Mom used to wrap hotdogs in bacon and cook them in the broiler when I was a kid. Talk about good.

That must be called “Pizza Pot Pie”?

Love those Gretschs.

Right there with you on the modern bass thing..............

I'm going to go outside and yell at clouds now.

Twos day.
Bliss is a Non Reverse II.

Frank made me a 1960's Pan Am girl..............Not real!

Ready for the trip I see.

Pan Am Will Fly Again in 2025, But There’s a Catch

For much of the 20th century, Pan American World Airways was synonymous with intercontinental travel. The trailblazing carrier ceased operations in 1991, but if you thought the Pan Am brand was long gone, think again: The airline recently announced its return to the skies in 2025, but it won't...

Defensive laser cannons to prevent the stage being mobbed and the Who from being arrested.

Some of them are really pretty but I didn't try any; I wanted to get what I needed and get home to my new bass.

Prunes wrapped in bacon: “devils on horseback”.
Prawns wrapped in bacon: “Angels on horseback”.

Why an Angel needs a horse I am unsure of. But bloody nice appetiser!

Never heard those names, but love both of those, especially the last one.

Odd seeing some high priced basses hanging low. That never happens at the GC here. They rarely even have anything over $600 anyway.

With you there. None of those interest me either.

Wait. GC by you actually has strings other than DA Nickels, Chromes or regular EB Slinkys? Go figure.

Hoffy Bacon wrapped dogs are on sale at Vons for $4.99 for five of them. Normally $7.99. Jeez.
