Hi there, no, I totally don't. I haven't heard anyone else talk about them at all recently. Is that what you're going to put in it? Let us know how they sound.

Sorry Larry didn't see the last part of your post. My strap will be here Friday!! Can't wait since we have a show on Sat.... First show with the Classic Pro, can't wait to hear it.Mine had wear marks on it just getting shipped to me packed in a plastic bag inside a cardboard box.
That might be the weakest vinyl ever created! No wear protection at all!
Did you get your strap, yet?
I added the last part as you were answering. My edit foul for not pointing it out.
Cool. I hope the strap works out for you and your gig.

You can really hear the hollow-body tone - sounds great! (love the National guitar also!)

Of all the amazing Birds in your collection, including the mind blowingly awesome Lull (I messed with one at Corner Music in Nashville a while back. "Wow" is a pretty apt description) the Jackson is the one I'd want the most.

My handle fell off the first trip to practice. Its wired on with a bent up key ring now...
Got my Tascam DR-44WL today. Heres the results-
DI into the handheld from my mesa added to studio track from the band.

My guitar player has the Guitar of the Month from 2008 that Gibson did a very very very small run of. That case is made considerably burlier than the Epi TBird case...but his handle's covering came loose on one end and is nasty sharp under there. It must be some kind of corn-speer-assy!

Yeah...but the Gator gig bag specifically is known to spontaneously combust, so you have to keep an eye out for that, too.
Hoooooboy! That's not good!
Guess I'd better scrap the cases altogether, besides... it's just a lowly, crappy Epiphone after all!
Man, it's like you know me. I'm a HUGE cure fan. Simon Gallup is my spirit animal.

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
Simon Gallup is an amazing bassplayer - Been a fan of The Cure all the way from their first release... (and yes, I know Simon isn't on the 1st album...

It is a pretty cool bass, the neck profile probably isn't everyone's cup of tea ( I get on with it ok, a Gibson neck is still my fave) its extremely well made - what's surprising to me is that I don't believe they command much price even tho they're quite rare.
Ebay classic should be in sometime today. It's loaded with emg actives. Should be interesting. Crossing fingers the fretboard is still attached. Ive had 3 various basses come in with a lifted fretboard.
