Can't go wrong with black--not when cars had copious amounts of real chrome.

I'd try that.The Portuguese clans around here make a wicked Kale soup.
True, but let's not let that little secret out of how great that area is.
Too cool - when I was in the sixth grade, I thought how cool it would be to play the alto sax. From watching Sanford and Son. But alas I was too shy to approach the band instructor.As an ex-saxist, love the horns.
Decades later in Bermuda I nearly bought one from Riihiluoma's music store in Hamilton, Bermuda where I had purchased a guitar and some effects. Jay, the owner said first to try blowing into the mouthpiece alone to see if I could make the reed vibrate properly. It was a challenge and I had other irons in the fire, so I let it slide.
So what sax did you play?
First saw this video way back in the mid-80’s- at the the time I wasn’t so much into the music being a classic rock and metalhead but I thought this dude had pretty good taste in cars-

You so need to get this for Frank, then he’ll match your ‘77 Greco Tbird…

I’m out of the club currently. I had a Gene Simmons model, which played remarkably well. But the pickups were uneven, and had a bit of a noise issue. Probably my noisiest bass. And the low E was less distinct than the A D G, so it was tough to get usable consistent sounds when recording. It was probably my best playing bass, but when recording I always ended up using a different instrument. Anyone have any insight to this? Did I have a bad one? Electronics broken? Or its just how they sound so like it or leave it?
Shall I send him a C&D?
Did you buy it new or used?
A friend posted a video from one of our shows about 2weeks back.
This is a phone/camera recording but you ca hear the P-Bass with the Thuderbird pickup, which sounds pretty good
Also using my Benson B700 Head for the fir time live.
This is one our slower number kind of in a Crazy Horse vein:
This was an especially fund show since my son's band opened up the show!

I still love mine. That one Dave posted from his CL for 1k with the big chip on the front and which included the case had me wanting to hop in the car and drive north to get it. But I resisted.NBD, occupational hazzard of working at the great great House of Guitars. So a few weeks ago a Inverness 2023 Nonreverse came into the store, I tried to ignore itView attachment 7439296View attachment 7439297View attachment 7439298View attachment 7439299 honest I did but they made me a offer I couldn't refuse, those are not just mere words in my tag line.but words to live buy. Obviously some 7ender player thought they could tame the unwieldy Nonreverse, better is comes home with me.

So how many of these reissues now for you?
Oh my. And the Firebird is cool too.
Damn. I have got to plan a trip back east.
And the yellow Camaro a couple of cars back. (Who am I kidding? All the cars in it are cool!)
