??, dunno how someone can tell a properly repaired vs non repaired fully refinished headtsock without x-ray vision....I know I can't....

You just need a pair of these!

 

[GonePlaid]

I think Mike @GonePlaid uses one of those pedals

I used to. Haven't for quite a while. Not worth the trouble to hook up for one or two tunes.

RIP Bob Weir

It was very well packed they did a great job. Honestly I am super happy, I waited 50 years for this bass.

Dang! I knew USPS could be slow, but that's diriculous!

Any time that area is sprayed w/tobacco (if a standard Gibson brown-burst) it most likely has been broken & repaired. They do X-ray on basses & guitars if it merits it. (i.e., valuable vintage)

Only the special ones look like this. The others are just common....

 

[dagrev]

Oh Yeah!

See. Special!

 

[dagrev]

Yep horrible. I’ll gladly relieve you of the burden.

Well played.

Plus, right ATM, I can't remember [alotta things] where I put the bloody thing. It's in its own little gig bag. Somewhere...

2120 UPDATE: YAY! I found it! Now I know where it is while I don't use it.

The end of another Thunderbird Saturday

Bringing out the 2014 ‘bird for the first time tonight.

Also the former drummer/lead vocal for Bad Lemon is now just the frontman lead vocal and we have a drummer that is just a drummer. I think the general audience prefers the vocals to be out front. I on the other hand have never been a fan of the front man, with my ultimate preference being a rhythm guitar player or bass player (not me) as the lead vocal. Having someone up there with nothing to do for some parts of the song leaves room for potential cheesy/corny actions.

Love that red!

Someone shot a video of us performing last night(Friday). Unfortunately, the file is too long to upload-at least that I can figure out how to.
This may actually be a blessing since IDK how many of y'all wanna see/hear me singing "Honky Tonk Women".

I’d bet we all do!

 

[GonePlaid]

I’d bet we all do!

Thanks. My BiL is better with computer 'stuff' than I am. Maybe he can figure out what to do.

Place the file on Dropbox and post the link here. I know, what’s Dropbox.

That's one I know all the words to. I'm ready to sing it anytime!
