I recorded Freebird last time I saw them in 2012

Needs to say farewell to that furry vest and hat combo...
I just got back from picking up my VP at Guitar Center across the line.
Border guy: Anything to declare?
Me: I picked up a bass guitar. It was $514 US altogether
Border guy: You just went down and bought a bass?
Me: I ordered it online and picked it up at guitar center.
Border guy: What kind of bass?
Me: an Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro
Border guy: Cool, what colour?
Me: Tobacco sunburst. Do you play?
Border guy: I used to. Have a nice day!
Technically he could have made me go in and pay 12% tax on the Canadian equivalent, so I lucked out. (Gotta get lucky sometimes...)
The bass itself seems brand new except for the black strings which feel like DRs. The set up is pretty good but the nut slots could come down a bit. I'll be doing that this afternoon.
I stopped by a Long and Mcquade on the way home and picked up a Yorkville case. The fit is perfect.

Next you are going to say that ZZ Top should get rid of the fuzzy guitars...
Nah. That's how they get their tone!

I'm amused by the reflection in the finish in your last picture. The BASS oval looks just like the sticker Gollihur always put into the package when you buy something from them. I have those all over all kinds of things at this point.

It’s my Gollihur upright gig bag.

Bellingham. People complain about Guitar Center, but the service I received was good. The rep in Syracuse weighed it for me (8.8 lbs), it was well packed, and the guys at the Bellingham store were friendly and helpful.
There was a sheet on the outside of the box, with the name and phone number of the person who processed the order.

No more Leon on bass?

She's a keeper, eh!
Maybe I knew... at one time. I need a vacation.
I'm really lucky i didn't lose any V&T on that one. Almost though.
