Oddly enough a discussion on Marcus Miller basses emerged on the Warwick Forum and it triggered memories of these. my three favorite pieces from Miles Davis' 1981 album The Man With the Horn featuring Marcus Miller with Mike Stern on guitar-
Regarding this one- who would've of thunk a jazz piece would start with metallessque power chords? Really cool though-

Anyone here try chromes on a NR? I have a set laying around and wondering what they are like on a NR. I honestly like the stock strings that came with my bass, but just curious what people like.
not comfortable...
Did it have a different bridge at some point? Wondering about the extra holes.
So, she was tired of being naked so she’s wearing her fig leaves now. I’m having to learn new playing technique.
I love the checking!
But even more, I love rosewood and mahogany.

I get wanting an original one for an investment grade one. But 1k? Ugh. I suppose if you can afford the Thunderbird…
But you can get one of these:

I went to the Amigos guitar show at the OC fairgrounds this morning with friends.
Notable sightings:
Lefty!
Acquisitions:
For me, zero.
For my friend Andrew, a 1980 Peavey guitar with case. Nice find!

Congratulations! They are wonderful Thunderbirds!
I have a ‘77. It ain’t going anywhere.
SIT Powersteels sound good, Dean Markerly (out of business) Blue Steels SS sound even better for my tastes. I may try some La Bella Low Tension flats on it I have just for kicks one day.
That's a desktop image right there!Have you tried any baby oil or something on the FB yet? (Since you talked about it being naked...) Looks like it could be darker if you wanted.
Joe Bonamassa was for sale? Cool.
No price tag, so he was probably for display only.
Geo and his buddy Andrew came down to SoCal for a visit. George and Carrie hosted us at their place. Outstanding company, great grub, and libations.
Geo generously spent time cleaning up the gluey mess that a previous owner of the $200 Classic Pro I picked up a few months ago made when they used super glue on the inserts and got glue (including their fingerprint) all over it. It turned out great!
And George restored my ‘77 to the original series wiring configuration. It really roars! The difference is amazing.
Geo approves…
This club is the best!
