Thunderbird Club

Dug deep into the checking account, what is saving me is the sale of the (cough, salami splattered JB).

Is it the weather or something? Everyone around here has gone bass-shopping mad. Jeff has the Epi Bird coming and now we learn he's been a sneaky squirrel and picked up a sly Ric.

Did you catch a leprechaun and swipe his pot of gold?
 
Maybe a bit mellow for you crazy people, but I was just sent this clip from the Derek Hoke gig at Music City Roots from last Saturday. Funny to play such quiet stuff with these guys considering we’re all old punk rock skateboarders. Derek’s favorite band is Fugazi. The drummer, Steve Latanation, is probably best known for the 15 years he spent playing drums for Agent Orange. He’s also my dearest friend on the planet. We’ve been playing together since 1987.

WOW man! I was really trying to listen to "the song" ya know... but my ear was just tuned in to that bass! HOLY [expletive deleted] that thing sounds good!!! Your tone was just magnificent!!! You managed to harness both "classic" and "unique" in a nice open "woody" tone that has zing & definition...

The shop in Japan has found another black Epi VP.
I wonder if it will be the first to grace our fair shores.:whistle:
 
Found out that the shop I got my flight case from, Concert Supply in Murfreesboro TN, has an order of Embassies and EVP's. Was making plans to go check them out, and they do layaway. I go to the dentist yesterday before work because I have two teef trying to kill me (seemed to me, anyway). Turns out quite a bit of work from the teef mechanic will be required. I spent $1800 and won't even get this fixed till next week.

On the plus side, I had an interview today, have another next week and one more to schedule. Looks like more will be coming. Teef still hurt.
 
So what color's the next Cataldo gonna be? :)

You know, I’ve not really considered getting another one. My current rig has me 100% GAS free and I’ll never want another bass again

I haven't bought a bass [whistles nonchalantly].
