Can't go there if you started out there in the first place.

Ok, then. Or if you give it a good rub.I dunno, this is the Thunderbird club...

Oh YEAH man!!! You GOTTA do it... and I wanna see the pics when ya do!Absolutely... And it also has a parchment pickguard, which add to the "vintageness" - Same reason I'm contemplating giving it the chrome treatment, albeit with a 3-point bridge like the 70's birds.
Howzabout "The 7ender Approximation Club" (of course now I need to see a 7ender headstock decal that sez "7ender Approximation Bass" in the official font)The inexact precision club?![]()

Yeah, a thorough inspection of the bass in question. It's very comprehensive:Um, aside from mandatory grass skirts, do we have any rules?

"Salami" tort should be illegal to manufacture (especially now that I call it "Salami Tort")! It's most commonly found on cheap basses, or as a cheap after-market replacement piece, and only resembles tort at all because of the colors chosen. You could pay 50bux or more for a good tort replacement, compared to $15 for a salami vomit special. To me... a good tort on a white bass... ANY white bass... I find to be very attractive. The words "Texas Blues Machine" instinctively pop in my head when I see one. Don't worry... I'm not trying to make any of you agree with me. It's just a "me" thing... but if it's an illness... I don't wanna be cured!As well you and everyone else should. There's no excuse for smushing a big slab of salami onto the front of a perfectly good musical instrument.
Jeeeez dude! Was that Sunn rig big enough for your room?

I've seen the term "Plek"(and its variations) several times since I've gotten wrapped up in bass world. What does it mean?Recent Gibsons are Pleked, so I would expect they also spend a bit of time on the nut. For what its worth, the 2015 is outstanding when it comes to all that. I got it second hand, so the original owner may have done some work on it. Who knows, though. I have gotten two of three Gibson 'Birds from people who apparently didn't understand how to set them up. That's one of them.
Well... there's that one about "no douche baggery"...Um, aside from mandatory grass skirts, do we have any rules?

Have 50% of the equation complete... just have get some tort to put on my white bass"Salami" tort should be illegal to manufacture (especially now that I call it "Salami Tort")!
