Mac the Knife is all that shows up. Looks like your Jag on that

Yeah, it's "Driftwoods of Treasure Coast Live"(no dash). I hadn't looked at it for awhile. OOPS!<EDIT> the video w/ Mack the Knife was shot by someone else at the(outta bizness)"Tony Roma's" in Jensen Beach, FL.<Addendum> videos 9-13 are at the Abacoa Amphitheater, 1-8 are at a riverside restaurant marina. I was playing through a (P) 100w 1x10 amp.

cool NR TBird on this one. Must have the wrong one!
Yeah, that's also at "Tony Roma's". Only video of the NR-b4 new pickguard. Hoping to get more Saturday night.

Yeah this one. Cool EB-3L!
Yeah, that's the group of videos, 9-13 are at the amphitheater.
Thanks.
I rarely use the 'Bird at outdoor venues-FL heat/humidity.

Like motorists, there are cyclists who take the responsibility of sharing the road seriously, and many who don't. I can counter by saying many motorists drive like they feel "entitled" to drive the way they do. Frankly I hear that word and hear someone who is not a cyclist, not understanding how vulnerable a cyclist is on the roads with distracted drivers - drivers who feel emboldened by steel and a motor to do very dangerous things. You have no idea what I (or any serious cyclists/motorcyclists) have experienced over many, many years and thousands of miles. Anyone on two wheels rides ultra defensively 100% of the time they are riding and if they don't - they shouldn't be on the road. Every day on the news I hear about accidents involving motorcycles and I have cyclist friends who were killed by drivers. I do not doubt you've seen cyclists bad examples - but all cyclists are not represented by those bad examples. Let's get back to Thunderbirds as this topic is out of place here.

Dang! Nice playing!
Well past anything I'll ever do
Thanks for the flowers but I've heard your playing. I envy you, getting to do that material.Dang! Nice playing!

I wont lie. I work on Tbirds songs. Definitely an inspiration
Is it bad i can recognize which bass is being used in the Nasty Habits songs by sound alone?
I wish my hearing was that good! Part of my life's ambition is to dispel the belief that Thunderbirds can only be used for one type of music. I use mine for rock, big band, jazz and concert band right now and I've used it for country(and Western)in the past.

The nay sayers against Gibson style basses are those same types afraid to play different music with said basses. I like me some dirty humbuckers agitated by a 2 mm pick!
Today was bass maintenance day, started at 8:00am and didn't finish until midnight. Took about 40 basses down, cleaned each one thoroughly, oiled fretboards, changed batteries and strings where needed, tuned up and played the same 3 songs on each bass - The Shape You're In by Clapton, Cocaine by Clapton and Sunshine of Your Love by Cream (what can I say, I just happened to have a Clapton CD in the player at the time).
General observation - Gibson (and Epiphone) basses just flat out rock! The Blonde SG Supreme and the Eppi VP Bird are real standouts, followed closely by the Anniversary Bird and the 2013 EB5. There's just so much bottom end on the SG and such a cutting voice on the VP, pure heaven. Of course most of my other stuff (Fender, Spector, Alembic, Warwick, Squier, Musicman, Reverend, Danelectro, etc) sounded good to great (hardly a slacker in the bunch) but I just feel so at home with the SG and VP.
And to think, just four short years ago I didn't even have a Gibby or Eppi in the room. The last six bass purchases I've made have all been Gibson products. Wish I had found them sooner, it might have saved me a lot of money and time chasing my preferred sound. I'm so glad Gibson Company looks like it might get a second breath, sure hope they keep the Gibby and Eppi offerings coming!

Love this!
Anyone who has ever gotten into riding at a serious level has some level of this guy in themselves and their riding buddies.
I think it's good to be able to laugh at yourself and not take this stuff too seriously. 10 years ago, I was a lot like this dude except with mountain bikes and it was some of the most fun I had being part of that crowd doing the sport at more than a recreational level.
I went straight to a hipshot on mine.
I am fully converted, everything with a 3 point now has a hipshot.
I haven't spent time analyzing the vectors, but I think that the 3 point "floating" above the body provides a fulcrum at the front anchor allowing the extraction of the rear anchors. The hipshot, being flush, removes the fulcrum.
But what about the empty-crum?

Yep, it’s a great video! I have a couple of bikes myself and used to bike a lot to work, but life changes and now I rarely ride. GAS has filled the void...
