I don't recall having ever played one before that, I like the "Fat Bottom Girls" as Uwe calls them!

My first bass was a G3, then a Ripper and a couple Grabbers...love all three!

I really liked the re-issue G-3 a lot, Uwe had me pick one up here in the States and let me keep it for a few months before sending it to Germany, I loved how it sounded!

You're always welcome here Roger!

For everyone else that reads this that isn't a member or owner of a T Bird, you're welcome too. It should be quite obvious from our view count that lots of folks stop by without posting - The welcome mat is always out, what draws us together (Thunderbird basses) is just the beginning of sharing and getting to know one another.

Computer is good. Things are just easier on a computer;)

Forgive me if I come off like Douchy McArsehole here... but, do you know how to copy & paste links? If not, I'd be happy to walk ya through the process. It's easy, and really handy:)

Not at all- I'm working on that w/ my computer tech/bro-in-law. I've actually pulled it off a couple times but then I take a nap and have to start over.:oops:

LOL - backwards, frontwards and sideways. There's a reason Porsche 911 drivers use the term "Never Lift". The car is capable of amazing traction in a turn at high speeds, but if you so much as think about letting up on the gas pedal in a corner at speed it'll whip that tail around and swap ends before you know what happened.:woot:
Fortunately not so with the Cayman. :thumbsup:

Yeah, kinda like WW1 Gnome powered fighters. Hard torque away from the direction of the rotation of the motor. If it didn't kill you when training it made for a phenomenal gun platform that if handled expertly could quickly make you an ace..

Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS!!! For THAT, I would learn to play with covers on drool

Fingers or pick, I play between the covers(snicker). I've done it that way most of the time I've owned her. I took the pup cover off for awhile and it felt weird so I put it back on. It's off right now 'cause I'm waiting for a custom PG I ordered. When I pick it up to practice, it's odd-feels like something's missing(Duh!)

Sounds like the Sandman is screwin' around with your "delete" button:D

Highlight everything in the address bar from beginning to end, copy it by pressing Ctrl+C, then click where you want the link to go, and paste it by pressing Ctrl+V.:thumbsup:

I keep having the thought of ditching the 'smart' phone to go to a flip phone and a tablet with a cell connection so that reading email etc. is easier (bigger screen). The missing pieces are dialing by name, voice command in the car, and spotify in the car.
