WooHoo! Lighting seems to be much better than their backline.

Much better! The bass was awesome. Thanks again, Carlo!

Yeah, I thought they'd be blue too. " If you experience (cough) for more than four hours, consult your doctor". If I experience "that" for more than four hours, I'm not calling a doctor, I'm calling a priest because that's a freaking miracle.

I don't know if I'd be calling a priest either...

Duke, Doc and Kat. I could so run with those posts right now.........
Refrain I must though.

Yeah, but it’s a great place to see shows. And pretty close to where I live. I’ve seen lots of shows there.

12/12/11 is probably San Diego legends Rocket From the Crypt, rather than "Tombs". That or they really were called "Tombs" and were ripping off a fantastic band.

Getting there... spent a few.minutes at my friend's shop, made a control plate out of the old pickguard. Gotta hit the beveled edges with a little wet-sanding, to get the white-ish burr out... I did the bevelling with a hand plane, wich I guess might do that to soft plastic.

But she's gittin' done!View attachment 2892535 View attachment 2892536

That brass looks niiice!

Lookin' Good! Matching bridge cavity cover?

Going for the more trad metal stand-off cover I think. But matte black, a la Rustoleum flat-black rattle-can...

That's an interesting idea though... but I'm all out of old pick-guard!

OT frustration.

I organised a lunch where we talked about our songlist changes for this year. Agreed that maybe we get get a few more upbeat songs in. A little bit rockier, as far as we can anyway.

So first practice was Thursday, allocated to talking about the new songs.

Only 1 other brought some suggestions...
- Go tell it on the mountain
- We shall not be moved
- Raindrops keep falling on my head &
- Green green grass of home.


anyway the group were falling all over these... so it looks like they are goers.

My suggestions are in the maybe bucket; I did expect they’d be concerned but thought they’d be fun for them to sing at least, and it isn’t a revival meeting.

- Blue Suede Shoes (Carl Perkins version)
- Working for the Man
- Sloop John B
- Darktown Strutters Ball (Ted Mulry’s 1970s version. But I can’t find music for this version... so onto the reserves bench.)

Not outrageous, but fun I thought. Oh well I’ll add ‘Oh, Pretty Woman’ & ‘Jump in my Car’ (Mulry again).

I’m hoping I can get a couple up.

Oh well.

Other way around.

That's because you aren't an old man yet.

The salesman told me that only 4 locations have em, and they only have one each. I kinda figured they’d be a hot ticket item. Then again, the only Embassy Pro they have had is sitting there still. That bass has such a bad setup and fretjob though. If they don’t do some tweaks, it’s gonna be there awhile. The VP is setup nice and ready to roll. Be shocked if it doesn’t sell real fast. I wouldn’t personally want one, but I get the appeal for sure!

That's the same Embassy I posted about some 1600 pages ago (maybe three weeks back). Neck is BIG TIME back bowed and it has fret sprout in a big way all the way up both sides of the neck. That bass won't sell in that condition unless they pretty much give it away.

Depends on where you start.

 

[Larry V]

No, but I could probably still fit into them if I did.


I got them from Kid Rock's mom.

Susan Ritchie? Did she give you a good deal on a Chevrolet?

70 more posts and we'll see the Spector Gang's tailpipes.

Paging @theFixer!

I’ve been going all “old” Fixer for a few days now. Trying to do my part.

I don't know if I'd be calling a priest either...

Chances are if they heard about the predicament they’d be calling you.

I think I heard Gibson was skipping NAMM. Not sure if that meant no Epis as well. Anyone know?

I haven't seen anything about the other Gibson brands. Gibby skipped NAMM in favor of CES (Consumer Electronics Show) this year. I am curious if that will prove to be the right choice or not.

Pre CBS Jazz? Now where did I put the hammer?


[Note for anyone visiting from outside Thunderbird Club -- I would never dream of desecrating a pre CBS Jazz. That would be an admission that it has some actual power over me.]

I'd sell one in a heartbeat, though.

I once had a someone go home after our show to pick up her Epi Goth, and bringing it to the venue for me to sign it!

Never had that happen to me before...

Did you sign it with a black marker?
