Love my MB. 800 Watts and weighs 12 pounds! First week I got it (over 2 years ago) I set it on top of my truck as you would a book while loading other stuff and forgot it was there. While driving around the parking lot I saw people pointing at the roof of the truck shouting LOL!! thank god I remembered and stopped. Imagine that story with a V4B...

You may remember they're still wrapped. Well, they were-I ate 'em.

Chorizo if I recall right?

Their tag early on was "Little Led Zepplin" I saw them quite a few times, both early and after the lineup changed a bit in the '80-90s. The husband of my ex-wife's best friend was Denny Carmassi's drum roadie in the '90s and I actually gave him a ride home from Boeing Field in my '69 Cadillac one evening as they came home off tour. Later on I met Steve Fossen, the bassist in the video posted when he worked at BassNW in downtown Seattle, it was the day I left my '73 4001 there on consignment to help fund another Thunderbird. Fossen:, "I can sell this in a New York minute!" and he did pretty much that, much to my later regret, I really miss that 4001.
Much of the band's early history is centered in Vancouver, B.C., so thinking that isn't incorrect.



Yes, it was but not to the degree it is today. Some of the world's wealthiest peeps live along the east shore of Lake Washington (Mr. Gates comes to mind) and on Mercer Island. Personally, I don't care for it much and find I only go there to visit with Mike Lull and my bandmate, Ginger who lives in the Eastgate part of town.

Yeah, some folks I knew from Bellevue resented being called Seattelites...silly...

Spanish, to be specific-and delicious!

As suburbs go, Bellevue is pretty vacant of any kind of real culture or redeeming quality, esp compared to other nearby bedroom communities.

I remember the post from when I came back but I completely missed the repost today but I seem to get that a lot, I reply and then go back and then later on I find posts where there weren't any before. I know, no need to say it!

It's from when you had your hissy fit and didn't want to talk to us..

I was going to compare that with people from south Liverpool and how they like to say they live in Cheshire not Merseyside. Cut a dull story short I found this map

White EB-0 drool

EB-3*

Before you came along these parts, there was a bit of a story about it.
Long story short, I bought an extra Epi 3-point bridge off someone, and it was chrome. The day I went to pick it up (from the mail place) I stopped in a pawnshop... guess what was sitting on the wall? A white Epi EB-3 in very nice shape but missing... you guessed it the BRIDGE! And for less than $100 all together too!
