Welcome back, Andy.

 

[theFixer]

First time back after almost two weeks with no real internet access. I cannot go back and read all 75 pages that I missed. I have missed seeing what everyone is up to tho. Did I miss anything important or was it the usual discussions going on?

HHHEEEEEEEYYY!!! Been wonderin' about you (for more than just the usual reasons)

Frankly... I thought it would be WAY more than 75 pages! Yer gettin' off easy!

If ya got a sec... ya gotta head over here & give the 'bird some love...
What's your favorite bass body style (and why?)

 

[BklynKen]

I love the binding!
And the block inlays too, pretty classy looking.

It’s still the one major disappointment for me about Thunderbirds that they used the standard dot inlays. Such a gorgeous, unusual style and you couldn’t have given it more unique inlays? I’d prefer NO inlays.

Close and close... That's a matter of definition... I live in Denmark, and I've been to Iceland - But not for diving...

I've been diving in Hawaii, Palau, The Red Sea, Thailand and Australia - Warm waters, you know...

Drysuit. ;-) Plus how often can you drink the water as you dive, especially when it’s possibly the sweetest, most delicious water you ever tasted?

And then there's the two high-maintainance founders of the band who used to be in a relationship...

Oh, yeah. Been there.

NEW BIRD DAY!!!
Ebony 2013 Gibson
Couple hour drive (still in Canada) paid roughly less than $950 USD
Besides not having the proper knobs, some pick marks on the upper wing, and needing a setup, it's in good condition.

Nice, congratulations. Looks like the previous owner had a similar idea to me, though I put on the knobs you see in my avatar. I just don’t think the stock silver caps look good when the hardware is not. Looks out of place to me.

Thanks. The black knobs are growing on me.

Congratulations and HNBD!

Thanks!

Beautiful in BLACK!

She is even with the battle scars. And she's oddly light, haven't used a scale yet but seems a lot lighter than my white one

That case is so wide I'd need wheels to move it.
