Just in case you're not kidding.

Thank you...

Nope not kidding, as I've never heard them... I guess the word "Funk" in their name kinda threw me off right from the beginning...

I have a Pro in sunburst that is easily a pound heavier than my Classic Pro in white.

They had to pack in a little extra awesome on the Pro, so it weighs more.

Ok, I know this has been discussed but I am still confused. WHY is Epiphone bringing out tribute/reissues such as the Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro, but Gibson won't, and it was originally a Gibson bass???

First world problems. Besides, who needs 8 speakers when 3 can do it just as well.

Heresy! Blasphemy! Littering!
Kidding, I currently get by with just one, but then again, i am using 'phones when I practice, might be able to get away with no speakers at all. Or a bigger trailer.

It would make perfect sense, therefore Gibson cannot do it. They've got enough problems, and having basses that would sell would only make things better.

I bet it’s a wah pedal!!

Maybe it'll even come with a BOX!

Same here. Always thought of him as another version of Jack Bruce.

If you ever find out, let us all know. I suspect it's one of those secrets that we would have to drag out of Henry J. using illicit methods. Even then, there might not be an answer because it might not have been thought through.

I can't believe how terrible the initiation has become - a continuous 12 hour gopro documentary video of time with @Dr_Feelgoood212 just seems inhumane.

THE HORROR!

Prancing around a fire in a grass skirt and coconut shell bra isn't so bad after all!

Yeah, there oughtta be a law!

So because one of you asked for a better picture... And it is Vintage Sunday... also vintage is anything over 25 years IIRC

I (re-)present my 1986 BC Rich NJ Warlock

View attachment 2946676

ANYTHING over 25 years?
now where'd I put the picks of my vintage underw... Oh, shoot. Don't have THAT pic any more. Hope y'all can live with the disappointment.

The best appearance of Mississippi Queen in a TV show in my mind is still Regular Show. It was, I guess, a kids/teen show, though it was originally pitched for Adult Swim, so they have lots of pretty blatant references to drinking (brown bagging "soda", acting drunk after eating chicken wings) and other substances. My friends and I loved it in college.

With her being on the other side of the equator, shouldn't you be running the opposite direction of what you are running?
Or is it you should be running backwards?

In theory, you could run 'straight up' and that would solve it. Sort of.

I love (and have repeated many times) the comment about the Alan Parsons Project.

humm.... could it be..., Satan?

Same problem for me too, using safari on my iPad Mini

It's clear that whatever the glitch is, it's server side since we are all experiencing it the same on our various devices. My desktop PC, your iPad Mini, probably someone's Android phone... anyone running UNIX or CP/M wanna chime in? Fortran? Pascal? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Let me haul out the old PET computer to see if the problem can be duplicated on it...

End shots of a couple Thunderbirds, seems tapered wings are very common. I didn't shoot pics of all of them, the Greco was downstairs in the display case, it's taped as well.

At least you are operating under adequate feline supervision.
