There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
Fortunately we have very strict laws about guns, so they are not very common here, and there are no gun shops that I now of - Only shops for hunters with rifles and knives
I'm fairly certain it's this part.

Must not forget we come from very different cultural backgrounds:
U.S. Citizens have a constitutional right to carry guns, which is a remnant from the Wild West, where you had to have a gun/rifle to protect yourself from savage natives and robbers. Nowadays it's no longer the natives, which are the problem - but the high crime rates...
Things are quite different here in Denmark: It's fairly peaceful here, with low crime rates. And we didn't have a Wild West, where we needed guns - We, on the other hand were Vikings that used to go on quests and plunder and conquer.
Not quite...
The 2nd Amendment predates the Wild West and was bestowed upon a nascent nation to never allow a government to run amok over its citizens. It hasn't really worked out though as the government is taxing us to death without a shot fired. Not to mention all the laws and regulations that are placed upon an ever burdened citizenry.

I know, I didn't have the exact details - But it was close, and I got the point out, sort of...
Fortunately we don't have that many gun incidents over here - If you have a gun in the house, chances are that sooner or later it will/may be used...
Moreso in a lot of cases, since we haven't been taught to unnecessarily fear pencils.

I think you're right...
Also the gun discussion should probably be left for another thread, as it may get very heated and ugly - I've tried that a while back in another thread, which got really really ugly fast...
Good point. I'm out. How about those TBirds, eh?!

Agreed. I'll quit too.

So anyway...
Found a SG-Z for sale. Thoughts? Not a Tbird, but I've kinda wanted one since i saw DM from Clutch rocking one out.

Still playing around with the Pelham Blue Epiphone Tbird IV. It sounds &plays pretty darn well, but loses out by a small margin when I pick up one of the Classics.
Dan is indeed the MAN! Strong, strong bass player. I've had the same thoughts about the SG
I've seen them a bunch of times. Great live band. I usually describe them as a "musician's band." All members are top notch players.
