Before going head first at the P-bass purists you gotta chop down some of their sub groups, hence going after the different kinds of torts.

It's a dog eat dog world out there in GP man. You can't let your guard down, even for a second! Gotta keep yer head on a swivel, and stay frosty! Trust no-one
Good point. If yer gonna eat an elephant, ya gotta do it one bite at a time...
Agreed.
But in all fairness, those subgroups are small, and i'll leave the purists alone.
Unless..........................
This is personal for you. You are the Field General in this war. The gang & I will grab our basses & amps... you just tell us when & where. There's gonna be a RUMBLE!!!
(
)Oh MAN!!! @Off-Beat doesn't smack his head on the floor too hard when he passes out from seeing the deal you got on that thing!!!This arrived today:
2012 Gibson Explorer w/ Gibson case, Schallers, and case candy. Kind of a "cousin" of the Thunderbird. I put a low-ball bid on it on ebay and got a notification, while on vacation, that I had won. Winning bid was $46 more than a new Epi Pro bird. Sometimes you get lucky.

Are we about to dive into noir stories, private eyes, and damsels in distress who are actually ace alien hunters with high level acting skills?

@JJR58 ... I hope you don't mind me sharing your story, but I think it's time they knew.
Ya see... a few weeks ago, J was captured by the outsiders. They knew he hung out here, but still did not have a Thunderbird. It seems they viewed him as a "way in". They tried to get him to agree to be their eyes on the inside. They said he would never have to worry about money ever again, but J refused. They became infuriated! After several hours of "persuasion"... the guy who appeared to be the brains of the outfit, strolled towards him holding a pair of pliers. He said he was done playing games, and offered J one last chance to be their patsy. J turned his head upward a little, muttered something about the guys mother, and spat a mouthful of blood & hate squarely in his face. He woke up face down, somewhere in the streets of New York City. Dazed, and barely able to walk... he stumbled around aimlessly for what seemed like an eternity, yet somehow... he managed to wake up in his own bed. He reached over & grabbed a pull from the bottle of single-malt he kept on his night stand, and began assessing his condition. Numerous cuts & abrasions... 3 teeth knocked out... left eye swollen shut... this was old hat. Nothing he hadn't seen a hundred times before... but then he noticed his left hand. These... these animals had mangled his left hand beyond recognition! To this day... because of his loyalty and dedication to this club, and his unwillingness to yield... J payed the ultimate price! Barring some miracle... J is doomed to a life in which he can only play a Jazz bass.[/QUOTE]

Great score on a really cool Pointy 'Bird, the look great in 'burst to me, I'd just add some nice chromey pickups - Yummy!
Yeah, shiny metal pickup covers and that thing will be perfect.
Thanks. It was weird going straight through a board. Mostly what you're hearing is my Darkglass Alpha-Omega.Bass has a good vintage vibe from what I can hear.good playing too.
