Hot down here in New Orleans!!
Used to always stand on the gig, now I prop my @$$ on a stool.Mom's been gone since '06.
No shame in sitting and playing. I can think of one great who did that.
Saw him on the same ticket as Jeff Beck and SRV. For the encore, all three played together.
Nice Jewish boy and a sweet colleen playing a couple of Italians. Then again, the movies used to have Italians play the part of Native Americans-except Mel Brooks in "Blazing Saddles".
No offense, I just figure 1 on each corner of the rails but I s'pose they could be in between.
LMAO!...Nice Jewish boy and a sweet colleen playing a couple of Italians. Then again, the movies used to have Italians play the part of Native Americans-except Mel Brooks in "Blazing Saddles".
Tony Curtis/ Bernie Schwartz:" Yonda lies da castle of my fadda". Sheesh!
I looked up some Suzi Q. videos. She was known for playing Gibsons, esp. Rippers yet every one I found(besides the "Happy Days" one),she's wearing an FSO.
I have a set of Lollars in one of mine. Smooth, rich, and can take any eq you throw at them.
You're the first SD guy I've encountered! We talk a lot about ThunderBuckers, Lulls, Lollars, & "ChinaBuckers"... and, of course Gibson/Epi. Can I ask for your impression of the Duncans, as compared to some of these others?

Watching the HBO series Barry - I still see Henry Winkler as the Fonz.

I'll dig myself deeper. If memory serves, Pinky was a demolition derby driver and the gang were worried about her getting caught in the Malachi crunch.
Unfortunately, I have zero point of reference and can't really answer that. All I can really say is they sound amazing, lol. I'm a recent Gibson convert after playing nothing but P-Basses for 20 years. So glad I gave the Thunderbird a shot - it does everything I tried to make the PBass do and so much more. Once I decide on a pair for the NR, I'll be more than happy to provide a comparison!
Did you install the pups on your reverse? If so did you play it with the Gibson ones?
You now Gibson buckers on your NR so with the right/same strings you may be able to establish a baseline.

Looks like the custom shop will still make those. I'm very intrigued.
