Here’s how my VP fits in the Yorkville case. The other end is pushed down into the fur.

SO CLOSE!

GP just needs an extra 1/2” wiggle room. Needs a Maxwell Smart quote I think.

I guess a genuine Gibson T’Bird case of the era would be rarer and as expensive as the bass by now!

 

[RedVee]

Damn, I don’t know what happened, but I have enjoyed your wit, knowledge and stories posted here. @Christine please reconsider or at least check in now and again

^ pretty much what I would say @Christine ^

Well said @Engle

I've seen them in the $450 range but for that$ I can get a custom Flight case.

True but you'll also need a hand truck to carry it!

It appears that @theFixer is all caught up.

Now to wait for @hillerup to do the big catch up.

 

[Gaolee]

@TBird1958 Could I be removed from the club list please. Thanks

Say it ain't so! You will be sorely missed.

 

[Gaolee]

Shoot, just had breakfast like 2 hours ago :/

That is a problem?

Niagara Falls? Slowly I turned,........

As a Falls resident..... it's not worth it.... if there was more stuff to do around there, it'd be a different story. But all there is is the falls and casinos.

Have you seen the Abbot and Costello "Niagara Falls" sketch? It's on YT. Also done by the 3 Stooges.

Is Tousauds wax museum still there?

I was there around '79 if I remember correctly...

 

[D.M.N.]

Because I have no self control and more money than sense...

'68 Sunn 1000s, bone stock, 3 GE 6550s, a GEC/Genelex KT88, and the original cab with JBL D15S (D130s) and horn. Don't think it had ever been opened until I did so to take these photos.

I know @PillO thinks this is lame and the ‘novelty wears off fast’ but I never tire of New Mexico. Took this picture as I was going back to the hotel. No filters, editing or cropping. Just love it here! One more show on this tour and it’s been a blast.

Yes it is, but I don't think it's what it used to be.

I THINK my mom worked there in '79
