Is your VP approaching 51 inches (130cm) at longest point?I bought the Yorkville case from Long & Mcquade. It’s a huge rectangle, but fits the bass nicely and has a really big compartment.

I could do that but I don't have a case in which to ship it.Owning a vintage NR is truly a burden. Let me help you out with that; send it to me and I will take the burden.
Yup!Isn't that just usual Florida weather?
You simply must eat at La Cueva in Taos.Enjoying our last scenic day of the tour. Woke up in Santa Fe, had an awesome breakfast and are about to head into Taos for a bit. Enjoying it while we can because the last two days of this tour will be tough. About 525 mile drive tomorrow to the gig in Oklahoma followed by a 700 mile drive home, but today is a very good day![]()

They serve lunch and dinner. Local/authentic/sabrosa!Shoot, just had breakfast like 2 hours ago :/
He is a brilliant guitarist, but not without personality quirks. I have probably brought at least 10 different basses out over 3 years so maybe didn’t think anything of seeing a new one.The guitarist probly thinks it's gonna take some of the spotlight offa him![]()
That looks like a much better fit than the Epiphone case. Thank you so much for the pics!Here’s how my VP fits in the Yorkville case. The other end is pushed down into the fur.

Is there an Acme anvil hanging above that sign?
I'm curious... does your serial number begin with "UC"?Well, it's here and the good news is that I hate it!

Don't get me wrong, it's GORGEOUS drool but as soon as I picked it up by the neck, I knew that was the end of the love affair. It's got a neck that feels nearly as wide as my G&L L-2500 (that's a 5 stringer, for those of you that don't speak GandLese).
I will be pulling this and my G&L SB-2 (a PJ bass) apart and making a nice ThunderB-2 (trademarking that now!)
I suspect it's the same neck I have on my Korean 'birdThe kind of neck @theFixer appreciates.
I'll admit that, if Kriegs decides to part with that neck, I'll be curious what his price is but, though the nut width is pretty good... they're still thin enough to cause problems with my left handPAGING @theFixer SOUNDS LIKE A BASS FOR YOU

I know dude! I was looking at it thinking maybe if you compress the foam on the end, but no diceSO CLOSE!

Clearly that sexyarse Thunderbird is the star of the show... but that stonework is remarkable!!!And so are the Sunbursts!
After lurking for a year, I finally procured a beautiful T-Bird from Sweetwater. It had a minor short between the bridge pot and the tone lead which allowed some volume leakage at zero-got dirty tuning looks from BL.
Problem fixed in 10 minutes by Sweetwater's San Diego repair jobber-The Repair Room.
Got it Friday, played party Friday night and gig Saturday-awesome.
