It's the only way to fly. Actually, Other Half's (my local brewery) sweet spot is 8.5%.

And we frequently remark on how difficult it is to keep up with the amount of postings we have here. Yikes.

What an awesome old bass.

I played one at the Chicago Music Exchange when I visited Chicago 4 years ago - sounded like my '64 T-bird and the neck felt similar. I guess that's what they go for - I can't recall what they were asking for the one they had. CME was cool - they handed me any vintage bass I asked to play and left me in the room by my lonesome. I guess I looked like I could potentially whip out a Gold card. Anyway, the '62 J I played blew everything else out of the water and it was only $20k -

Good news everyone! my Tigerbird Build will be finalized in the following weeks: With all the burns & scars, it'll look ratrodded without having been played once

Stay tuned for bombardment!!

I believe the model is LPB-2/Deluxe. Thick flamed maple top that actually becomes the "binding" on the edge. No contours at all. Just flat slab front and back. Still feels comfortable to play tho.

You and me both! I love the look of those basses!!

Lovely! I like LPBs too! Great flame.
I think I saw that one or one very like it for sale recently.

I won the auction on eBay last week so maybe you saw it there? It has been used for sure but still is very solid and I can live with finish wear/dings.

Damn... I went to their website hoping to see an endless line of amazing vintage basses for sale. They didn't even have one full page of basses... and not one of them was a T-bird

OOPS! Wrong store.Killer Vintage. That picture may be at Geddy's studio though.

Ok, sssoooo... I don't expect everyone to "get" the music... & I know how a lot of you feel about slappin' & poppin'... but this is just NUTS!!! He breaks a string a little past 3 minutes in... and it's a 10 minute video

@theFixer

There's nothing wrong with slapping and popping in the correct context, none of which I ever find myself in.
