As I am curious and I was bored, I dismounted the bridge pickup of my VP to have a look :

Poor job :

Spacer :

None in the Bay Area either...the NR is even more rare. I once heard someone refer to me as "the guy with The Jetsons Bass"...

Funny you should mention the Jetsons...

$70 for the pup cover, $65 for the bridge cover, and $25 for the rest I believe

Cool, thanks!

What's pushing (or pulling) you back to the round wounds?

I remember really liking them except for how quickly i killed them.

This bass was built by Rob Van Den Broek, it's been sold and I'm pretty sure it's here in the States. The basses in the Gibson Bass Book are owned by a friend of mine that lives in Frankfurt, Germany - I will be seeing him in early May.

Ah, ok. Thank you.

 

[JJR58]

You already have Cobalt flats. Those are just about the brightest sounding flats I have ever played, and they are reasonably balanced.

Still my favorite.

What a picture you paint of us all, two cross dressers flanking a bunch of Tbird fans! In butt bows. Oh I do hope the general pop is reading this!

I think they all run for the hills when they read what we're all about.

I'm not all that surprised that you haven't seen a 'Bird except your own. I don't recall seeing a 'Bird out in the wild up here, either. Which means I haven't been to a Nasty Habits show yet. I don't know why so few people gig with them.

Nary a one in sight here as well, except for when i saw Ken's gig.

In your travels @TBird1958. Will you get to check this one out? I know it's his build. I'm in love with it.

I believe he made a sales thread about it fairly recently...

There’s a build thread too

 

[GonePlaid]

I can answer that one! I wonder if I can get anything for it when the time comes?

Good answer, although for the reason of age. I think the trade in value would be nil. I see it's about 1330 there-have a good afternoon.

Might be the same I was thinking about...

There'll be one in sight Saturday night down here-just have to decide 4 strings or 5. Decisions, decisions!

I've been playing through a Rumble 200C but just added a 112 cab to put it on. It arrived while I'm visiting family and I'm Really looking to get home,hook it up and irritate the neighbors Gigging the stack Saturday(bandmates don't know about the addition),should be fun! Not trying to be louder, just better dispersion and I'll get that 15"-er up where I can hear it.

How did i freakin miss that?!

 

[Nocturnal]

There are a handful of Birds that turn up locally. Hopefully I will be one of that handful later in the year.

 

[godofthunder59]

If you don't mind me asking, what'd they cost?

I guess I coulda just asked the man himself @godofthunder59 ?

Covers are $65.00 each, Tug bars are $25.00

What's the width of the covers? I might wanna put 1 or 2 on my 5 string Epi Bird. It needs more chrome.

Chrome covers, mmmm. Maybe at least a bridge cover on the white bird.
