I am taking two weeks off starting the 14th, but going to South Carolina and then taking care of all the live creatures in New Jersey while my cousin takes a breather.
I may try for the Best Coast at the end of the year, or beginning of next.

Oh, no. I agree with that. I was reacting more to the idea that they'd make these limited quantities & put 'em out there (most likely at over-inflated prices) without saying anything about it. "Normal Joe" never even gets a chance at one. I'm sure if Henry J. had his way, Each Gibson would come with a warning sticker that reads "KEEP OUT OF REACH OF NORMIES". (I really don't like that guy)

Not the case at all, I wanted a Nikki Sixx Mk. II, I knew they'd a limited number bass. I called Wildwood Guitars ( a Gibson specialist dealer in Colorado), they had never heard of it, I explained, they did some leg work with Gibson and reserved one for me. I waited patiently, they delivered. I'm not normal, but not really special either, you just have to be a bit pro active about it if you want one.
I was a day off but Jeff is a year off! Thanks for making me feel less of an idiot.

My First Bach NR purchased in 2012 was a big disappointment out of the box, didn't touch her for about two and a half years, then did some modifications (tuners, nut, pickup), not a great job, and put it on stage in 2015....good bass now but not the dream bass.....now my rehearsal backup

Great shot, white Thunderbirds under stage lights, it just doesn't get better!
Do I have you on the club roster? Help a senile Queen out here!
Watched the trailer for that American Satan fillum.
It should come with a rating MM: viewers are advised this film contains Malcolm McDowell.
The Wikipedia entry says 'the film controversially makes reference to the Illuminati and Satanism'. Controversial with who? 14 year olds? Even the promise of Bird glimpses would not induce me to see this.
PS: if there was a Bird playing Kat wearing A.P.C. or Marimekko there may be grounds for legal action, but as things stand it's seems that the character is a composite of multiple denizens of Thunderbird Club. If she looks like a Chechen warlord, we'll know for sure.

I have the feeling that you'd aim for Portland, but Seattle's just up the road
Most likely be Morro Bay then Seattle.
I was thinking over the weekend that a white Thunderbird wouldn't be so bad (I'm not really into white guitars) with some BMW Motorsport stripes on it.
I'm just plain "off".
And Kat, I love it that you said my name.
I always like the personal touch.

A little off topic - playing at the Maritime Pacific brewery's pub in Seattle this coming Friday evening. No 'Bird, just the upright, which makes it a little off topic. There may or may not be pictures to prove that it happened.
I like small headstock P Bass necks and TBird bodies.

I've owned two, both needed work, fret dress bridge massage. Sunburst and white. Middle two are the first NR Birds I built with GodofThunder pickguards. I put vintage TBird pickups in the Bachs but switched them back to Artecs when I sold them. They did hold their value.
Nice! Complement it with a JPS livery bird ?I was thinking over the weekend that a white Thunderbird wouldn't be so bad (I'm not really into white guitars) with some BMW Motorsport stripes on it.

That's a sweet rig.
