My friend Ruth (the gal I told you about from Warkworth) always preached the word of "Watty's Tomahto Soos". She missed it horribly here in the states...

Mmmm, the Belgians put mayonnaise on their fries, very yummy, but basically a heart attack waiting to happen. Mmmmmmm.
They look right at home on there!

Thanks! Slightly larger than the aluminum originals but those are impossible to find at a reasonable price. Most VOX parts seem to be getting that way. The original bridge cover was a steal @ $100 about 8 years ago. ThunderBucker made the one for the clone.They look right at home on there!
I reckon your Thunderbucker connection has proven invaluable quite a few times over the years

Yeah...since 1972!I reckon your Thunderbucker connection has proven invaluable quite a few times over the years
Can't remember if I already mentioned this on here, but since we were talking about knobs so much today I wanted to show these. Not necessarily Tbird style (maybe for the Pro?) but great knobs that come in tons of cool colors. I had a set on a Talman that I sold recently and am putting a set on my Ibanez SRX2EX1. From Xentric on eBay and they have their own site too.
Him indoors hates Watties and I don't consume enough to get into an argument about it.
Is that what the sign out front says... "Cataldo Custom Basses... Well connected since 1972"
That front knob, on the Phantom, that appears to have some sort of lever attached... what is it's function?
Oh those French......................

When you look at the family portrait of six ebony 1979 'Birds, only one is missing both covers, and only one more is missing the pickup cover. Those covers got pulled off and lost all the time. I expect the seventh will turn up in time, and will be as intact and unmodified as the other six. There's some strange karma going on with those six, so the seventh probably has that same strange karma protecting it from hacks, tort, and all that.

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
Wow!
Did you finally persuade that Japanese fellow to sell you his Ebony ‘79 - Or is that still out there?

So I started school, full time, today. Most days finish by 1pm which is nice. But my time here will be limited compared to the past few months. From today alone, I can't imagine the pain of @Haji, @PillO, and everyone else that goes a couple days!
