You're crazier then me, so keeping up with the tradition.......

I mean that in the most fun, sincerest way.

Edit; if you look just left of the top left corner of the ac, and enlarge that part, you will see a Melody Maker that my brother had.
Yeah, there's a Dimarzio PAF in there, and a second one was put in butted up against that bridge pup not long after.

Yup, another self quote, and irrelevant, but the Melody Maker deserves it.

Like unwrapped cables in a bag or box. They mate, and make little cables. Cables- especially the babies- have no discipline, and run amok between the grownup cables, creating a disorderly tangle.

That's why you should try and never show up late to a gig... you need to be sure you don't have to separate them all, which takes time and patience. You don't want to injure the babies in your hurry to start on time.

Got 3 hours' sleep last night.

How's that new A/C unit workin' out? Does it at least make the place bearable?

First world problem.
The lack of Cherry as a colour option for the Epi Vintage Pro TBird presents me with a bit of a problem as to what colour to buy when they eventually grace our fair shores with their presence.
Initially, when I thought the colours were Burst, White and Black- I had decided to buy a white one. I already have two burst TBirds and enough black basses (RD, ES 335, G3, P Bass and a Cabronita). Always wanted a white TBird- so choice was made. Easy peasy.
Then I hear that Cherry is a colour option in the Epi Vintage Pro TBird and a white Greco TB IV (which I knew to be a beauty) becomes available at a reasonable price. Bingo, buy the white Greco and get a Cherry Epi Vintage Pro.
Now I have to decide whether to buy a black Epi Vintage Pro TBird or a white one.
I won't buy a burst. I am leaning towards black because of the white Greco, but white TBirds are so pretty, but black would look hot, but then again................

But... this burst is Tobaccoburst and looks pretty nice, and different to Vintageburst, from the photos.

Just to muddy a bit more

Damn!, that PJ Club is Fn' tough and I mean hard as nails know what I mean?. I put my Epiphone Thunderbird neck pickup into my Squire PJ bridge cavity with the help of a dremel and I thought I would post it and their security was the first reply to call me out on the conversion jobby I had done and warned it may not qualify for the club:(. Hell I posted a pic of my ThunderBacker in the Thunderbird club and walked away only to have our Queen roll out the red carpet and throw down pedals as she yelled frantically "Please wait"!.."We have a place for you with a number good sir and all we ask is if you can dance in a straw skirt around a fire please provide pictures"!. Or something like that. Since I have a fragment of Thunderbird DNA in my Squier I will post it here. Damn I could post a picture here of when I was 2 months old with my 135 year old Baba and no one would call security.:roflmao:;)
