I Predict a new member is on their way to our club, they are the owner of a red NR Bird. Maybe soon maybe later, just a matter of time now.
Just be thankful that you are NOT #62
We had 4 perfect days vacationing in Oregon last week. Then 2 nice days, then 1 cold-ish day. Was a great time to be there.

She photoshopped those photos. It's never like that here. Really. Would I ever say anything that wasn't absolutely true?

Nice pics Larry, yes, pretty typical early Summer in Seattle the past few days, a little cloudy in the AM and pretty nice in the afternoon, about 70 and no humidity........I love it here!
THANK YOU!!! I finally got to see a 2013 NR re-ish, chromed out! "Elegant" is the word that comes to mind

I'm not a mariner of any kind but I love living near the ocean (Puget Sound).

After spending time with the Kellybird I found the stock pickups uninspiring so I ordered a Seymour Duncan SSB-4 for the neck position. I installed the pickup and immediately removed it, what a underpowered P.O.S. 3.7k they must be joking, what a waste of $65 bucks.
I dug around in my parts box and found a Artec from one of my Bach nonreverse Thunderbirds. I tossed that in for now and am pretty satisfied but I am thinking about putting a Model G under chrome in it or a Vintage Pro pickup if Epi starts selling them.

39% here today - what do you have?
Presently 55% humidity here in Battle Creek, Michigan, U.S.A.
70 lousy %. And this is a good day.

I just have the Jackson TBX, it has EMG's and some kind of pre amp, it's never going to sound like any passive 'Bird of course, but I really enjoy it because it has "that" active tone which I like for certain stages and conditions. Is the Kelly active or passive?
I eventually had to get a Subaru to go with the 'Birds.
Still have the old blue one too.

The Kellybird is passive and for what it is it is a great bass. What really disappointed me was the Seymour Duncan pickup.
