Yep. I have been eyeballing that one. Can't make a move a the moment tho.
That would be another excellent choice. I love that finish as well.

Calling us Bird Brains is a complement. We are living the dream.I would never seriously call someone a bird brain over the bass they like. I thought the green grin gave it away. Now don't get me started on how much cooler Rickenbackers are.

Saw a pic of one in Graphite Pearl-Stunning!drool
It looks better in person. The colours are an ever moving rainbow. Seeing one in person is all that is needed to understand how I moved from Pelham blue to breaking the no white, black, or grey rule (which I suppose is more of a guideline).
Edit:
And I still need a holoflash Spector...
I’ve been doing a lot of recording lately, so I’m getting super anal about tone. I’ve switched strings between my basses and tried every combination, and I have to say - the new VP is even better than I initially thought. The stock pickups on my ebony sound amazing with rounds for that picked piano tone, and my Thunderbucker 66 sunburst one is basically a vintage p bass+ with flats and a .1uf tone cap (shager is bright otherwise).
Having said that, I did just impulse buy a nice Japanese p bass 62 reissue. It’s super red!

Ok so I see rule #10 now. My intention wasn't to rile up Thunderbird fans. I thought people would detect the sarcasm. Hopefully if I ever land a T-bird of my own in the future, I can still be welcome here. But I might buy another LPB in the meantime, no offense.Hmm. Isn't this what 'trolling' is?
One of the Most unfortunate aspects of the written word is its inability to convey tone of voice to express emotion or intent. In high school days(60s), we often spoke in "Opposites"-such as "I care", when we really didn't. That doesn't work online.
You think that is bad... Try describing a song! You know like the one that goes bump bah bah bah Da da da da da.
I guess everyone does a Pink Floyd cover these days... Hadn't thought about that.
I "love" it when someone asks if we do any "blues". So we do one and it's not the one they wanted so we suck-LOL
