Maybe I've told this story here before, but I saw/bought my '63 T-bird II in a loan shop in Omaha Nebraska in '73. Went to check-out/buy a P-bass a friend tipped me off about. A pre CBS for sure as they weren't that old or sought after then. It was gone and the T-bird was there. At that point I knew John Entwistle, Overland Watts and the guy from Wishbone Ash played one so I gave the guy $150 (w/OHSC). It was stolen in '78 from an apt break-in and I replaced it with renters insurance money for my 'closet classic' '64 II (w/OHSC $750) which I still have and actively play. It was my only bass for many years and playing a T-bird is just part of my DNA.
In regards to, "never too soon for chrome".
I didn't wait long to do it. Jumped on The p/ups and parts.....

Two. Been a few other inquiries. Expensive shipping doesn't help. Your P.O. has size limitations which means assembled basses have to go by pricier shippers.
Yeah thats me, its exciting and ironically its the one thing I live for and the one thing that can get me killed. Its like a double edged sword. I love it!So, YOU'RE the one who likes to poke the bear & run off laughing!!!
What, are you Canadian now?

@RedVee was asking (on another site) if the JAEbird and my NR41 were the only examples in the country.
I'll admit to being nervous about reattaching the neck to the NR41 but your instructions were good and straightforward and it was easy. Certainly preferable to paying the shipping costs for a fully assembled bass.
[APOLOGY] it was @RedVee -- sorry Geoff, wasn't fully awake.

Just got notice that my T Bird is getting shipped today. Estimated delivery is Dec. 11?!
“What’s the slowest it can get there? REALLY?! Sure you don’t have anything slower?!”

'Eh' is a common in Aotearoa as well.
It has to go through Albany GA, Tallahassee, Miami and then back up to Atlanta first.
@dukeorock Do you still have The Outhouse?
Always loved TL Shackshakers, but alas, never got to see you live.
Interesting influence on the T'Bird, you have. I'm afraid I wasn't familiar with Einstürzende Neubauten, but when I read they were influenced by John Cage...
So thanks for the introduction.

Oh, I thought you were just getting accustomed to the Canadian language, I haven’t stopped looking over my shoulders for Wayfayers
