Right up your alley in great shape and a great price…

I'm familiar with that model and it is nice that is in VGC and still has the original plug & cable. But as much as they aren't shipping to the US (I don't blame them) I would pass. I now have a few Soviet era basses including this one that I recently restored. The ones I have were artistically redefined which is specifically why I was drawn to them.

More enameled CCCP propaganda "flair" on the way... thanks again to comrade Irv for the gold pg brand appliqué.

I love a good challenge. Fits my skill set too!

I can’t do it this year. But I’d love to invite myself out to see Mike in Florida (I’ll break my no Florida rule for him) and then head north to to meet the rest of you. Meet you and Donnie, visit Jeff, meet Brian, Ken, and Roger, and head back home after seeing my daughter in Boston. Take four weeks or so road tripping.

The easiest route between you and Mike comes near Sharon and me!
And you don't have to invite yourself. You're invited! (That applies to all y'all.)

Don’t fool yourself about being on the boat. It can be challenging.
Once during practice on the upper deck I ran out of ice and had to drink Makers Mark straight until I could wobble up to the pool bar for a new bucket of cubes.😉

There's your problem. You are addicted to ice. Kick the habit.

It's arrived! 1965 Thunderbird II, I've waited 50 years for this day. Just a quick video for now, please ignore the buzzing of my acoustic guitar in the background.

Stoked for you.
I have a sympathetic guitar vibrator in the Room of Requirement as well.
It sounds great. How does the neck compare to your other birds?

I don’t have a power amp for you, but if you decide you just want a super sweet sounding compact portable 300watt hybrid backup amp I have a Mesa Walkabout head in mint condition that I’m not using and would be welling to sell at a steal of a price to a club member.

PM me if you’re interested.

I tried to find the user manual on the Gibson site and there is a difference in what they show and your photo. The manuals for the Walkabout and M-Pulse have separate inputs for active and passive, but you have a switch. Should I be looking for a different model name?

Here is the legacy site. But the manual linked to it is for the earlier version. Gibson has really messed up the Mesa sites. Mesa is trying to restore them.

M-Pulse Walkabout | MESA/Boogie®

The MESA/Boogie M-Pulse Walkabout Bass amp delivers 300 watts of great tone at a size and weight that fits the demands of any bass player who's traveling light and still needs huge sound.

Even that site just has the one with two separate inputs. No big deal as the controls are all the same.

Correct. Gibson started messing with things some months ago. The revamped Gibson pages cut out a lot of pertinent info. Mesa is working to restore the info via legacy pages. Some of the Mesa faithful are not pleased. You would want to check with Mesa CS in Petaluma to find out if they have a specific manual for that configuration. But the basic info is very likely the same.
