That's an excellent metaphor. Without question the best I've ever heard.

He was a fantastic drummer. Bob was good and did very well. Artimus was another level.

Well done!
No. But I’ll go back there with you to “inspect the property,” eat BBQ, and listen to music.Anyone need an office in Memphis? Apparently, our company owns an office strip mall, at least according to the notice to appear. I guess either the owner transferred the dump into our company name or the court and city are hitting what's in the evidence locker.

This is the TBird club, not a charity thread.
Chain and Little River Band for a bit if i recall?
And yes, the JB4 Maton. Not sure if it was the PJ or the MM style pickup?

From the 60+ Bass Players group on FB:
I just replaced the stock, white pickguard with a black one. I have to say, at least to me, the sexiness factor just went way up. I can’t stop looking at it!
From memory.Chain and Little River Band for a bit if i recall?
The Maton he used as a basis was the Wildcat (he previously used) that had a square pickup down near the bridge in the MM area. I suspect that Maton took a look around and decided that PJ was the go for the new JB4 and specified the DiMarzio (spelling?) pups.
Yeah, none of us have too many strip malls. I'm afraid it would be like bass gear. Get one and before you know it you're up to your eyeball in strip malls. So I'm going to set this one out.
Sounds spot on to me! Would love to have either option, but pretty hard to find. I was offered a Maton JB4 with the DiMarzio PJ pickups an hour drive away from me, but it's fretless and fretless ain't my thing. Otherwise I'd buy it.

I retired at 62 during covid ( I'm 66 now) and frankly I got bored pretty quick, so I picked up some part time work. I love working at The House of Guitars part time and I also work about 18 hours a week doing historic millwork restoration toss in playing with 3-4 bands I have a full life. I only do what I want these days but I really have no desire to slow down.

Oh I can't resist a piece of big iron 
this 70's Ampeg V4B showed at The House of Guitars and I knew it was coming home with me. I've wanted a V4B for a long time and honestly I like them better than the SVT. I'll get a video of it up soon.

Strip malls or clubs? The latter might have more takers.
