"Sargent Buzzkill" would be an excellent band name!

I think you need to play this loud before a complaint can be lodged against you.

"Curmudgeonous"? You musta been fishin' pretty deep in the pond to find that one! I may hafta start usin' that myself!

No it was sittin' right there waiting to be used, I aint even got my party on yet.

Start with this Prog.

They've already commented on my bass playing via unscheduled visits from the local constabulary. I fire up the bi-amped rig, shakes the very ground (and the neigbor's windows lol). (Geez, like, shouldn't they get better windows then? Sheesh!) hehe

Guess i'm lucky that the neighbors ask, how come you weren't practicing last night?

 

[JJR58]

maybe so... but who'd wanna go to the show?

If I saw THAT on the marquee... I'd keep drivin'!

Now wait a second there, maybe not. could be a cool hardcore band.

I refuse to accept that, albeit true.

What do y'all use for flight cases for 'birds? I have some East Coast gigs coming up and was thinking of taking the Greco, but it doesn't fit in my flight case.

Earlier this year I flew mine out from Ontario to BC. I just got a yorkville t-bird hardcase and wrapped my bass in bubble wrap. The case came through with a few scratches but otherwise it made the trip just fine.

ThunderBird (pickup) content...actually a ThunderBucker 66 set. Recorded less than an hour after @bholder unpacked it.


Fingerstyle, no FX.

Interesting, but not as much draw for me as a Thunderbird. A little too Fenderish, not quite enough Gibson DNA. But still interesting. The body is listed as basswood, which is very soft. I'd b a bit concerned about the edges on the raised center section getting dings and dents.

Oh I'm sure Kats FSO has Tort, she wouldn't have it any other way.

Since when does Kat have an FSO?, Blasphemy!
