Here is the shorter of the 2 clips I had posted a while back but some people couldn't see them. I might do the longer 15 minute one later when I am at a WiFi hotspot, provided long clips are allowed on this account.

More goth pr0n, from July 14th show in riverside, wish we had more footage of this show. There are a bunch of 60 second clips that someone shot that were great, but I couldn't get ahold of him before he deleted them off his phone after uploading to Instagramand I don't use instagram, and my guitar player couldn't download them, we were going to use them for a promo, maybe someday we can figure out how to get them off there, but I'm sure the quality was compressed anyway, just like this one which looked much better on my ex girlfriend's phone, but after I snaked it from.Facebook it was lower resolution.
Will share a few more now that I am reminded I made a new YouTube account that works from my phone. Not sure I.have the password to my old account anyway...
Facebook ruins everything. Looking forward to checking out the videos. Hard to do at work.

Do I have to get a ticket to Sydney, or are you headed to Seattle?
Someday I may get to see real footage we paid for of this show, but there is this phone clip shot by the guy who bought my 2015 sunburst epi IV. The show got very rowdy and he was trying to keep moshers from destroying my pedalboard, so this was all the video he got.
This is the infamous Slidebar, probably our favorite venue, always packed with diehard system fans, and always a guarantee
debut show for my classic pro august 12

First off thank you @Dadagoboi for the knowledgeable input, sincerely appreciated.
Shortly after purchasing this bass I had the nut replaced and the setup done by the same shop that later told me it would need a full fret job to fix this one buzz. When I got it back after the nut replacement it didn't buzz - HOWEVER the action was high and the bridge was set WAY high in the rear with the front very low (was told that was what he had done to get rid of the buzz), exactly opposite what I've read here about how a 3-point should be set up. I redid the setup myself to get the bridge proper and the action low where I like it, the one buzz came back. Talked to the guy about it, he didn't agree with what I'd stated about how a 3-point should be set up which seems a bit of a red flag to me, guess this is part of the reason I wanted to call BS on the fret job. Now to his credit he's set up 2 other basses for me and they were spot on. Just seems weird that he went so far off script on the 3-point bridge setup.
Guess I'll be getting a fret job on it soon... The bass is definitely worth the investment, cheap bastard that I am just hate to sink another $100 in a (originally) $225 investment (which with a $100 case and the $120 i spent on the nut replacement and the first time setup is now up to Could-Have-Bought-A-New-One range). Yeah, I know...

I can't even tell you how many times I have been down that path or in how many new and creative ways to spend way too much money to accomplish not much. I kept a 1973 Chevy van alive for many years past its obvious expiration date, for example. It's just standard operating procedure for some of us.
Sounds great! Nice Iceman, too. Haven't seen one of those in quite a while.
I meant to the discussion here, I'm thinking I missed something on the thread. Or was it just random?
Just came across this 5-string Thunderbird, in case anyone's interested.

Thanks. We match the body shapes if not the color.
A sweet vintage peavey had me thinking I could just use the one T bird for the band since I like the classic pro so much (ie sell the goth to buy the peavey), but I pulled the goth out and played it for a while. Nope it's staying. Besides the guy just wants money and it would probably be gone by the time the goth sold anyway.
I told the US peavey club I wasn't going to be looking at listings because I have no money, but I slipped and now I'm scheming on how to get that peavey, an swr bass 350 (to replace mine that was stolen) and even considering trading my P for a Ray, which I posted a new thread about.
The goth was my first bird, and it is an older Korean one. And the P bass I bought new in 2001/2002 when mars went out of business.
I need to sleep. I'm rambling and using way too much of my data downloading/uploading and watching.
This seems like a familiar scenario...First off thank you @Dadagoboi for the knowledgeable input, sincerely appreciated.

Huh, my band is based out of West Milford and I live in the town next door to it, if I were a 5 string guy, I would check it out...that damn B string was nothing more than a place to rest my thumb...tried 5 stringers several times, no dice!
Thanks Bro! Trying out the new bone nut last Friday..Couple nice NRs ya got in yer avatar, Chuck!
