I started ordering 10 packs of Ptouch compatible label tape from Amazon.ca for work projects a couple of years ago. The first shipment took 6 weeks on a boat from China. The next couple of orders took about 2 weeks. Last time I ordered some in the summer, the package arrived in 2 days. (All with standard free shipping)
Was Dude Pit a blog? If so, in TB? Or was it a place? Comes up every so often and I always wonder..Somewhere out there is a modified Thunderbird with a fretless fingerboard and a flame maple face. If I am remembering correctly it belonged to a bassist that played for Skinny Puppy. I want to say it was a 70's reissue that had a maple cap added and converted to fretless. I have not seen the bass in a long time and cannot find pictures, but our Queen or GOT may remember it from the Dude Pit days. I had a pic saved on an old computer but odds of finding it are almost zilch. So this post doesn't help you at all.
Did it go away?..
It was a great night of music and it was great to meet you as well! No worries on the time we got to shoot the 5h1t since you were there to work and you had a lot of folks in the audience to meet. I hope that it was awesome for you and I’m glad you arrived home safe and sound after driving through the night.
The Pit was a popular on line place for bass player to hang out and Talk Bass. Much like TB but smaller. I was in it before it went by the wayside.

A bass forum run by Steve Barr. It was a great freewheeling place in the early days. Sadly it is no more but many of us Thunderbird guys were prominent members. The first place I was known as G.O.T.

My all time favorite! It tastes like the SF bay air on a cold night!
Just your friendly neighborhood feral heretic here. I’ve gone rogue.
Also brass and woodwind players!Headstocks are for whacking guitarists in the head.

Wow! Skinny Puppy! Haven’t heard that name in a while! How about Front 242?Somewhere out there is a modified Thunderbird with a fretless fingerboard and a flame maple face.

Someone has learned about tight cropping to remove distracting details (about which there will be questions and comments)…
Dude! Shoes?

How does that Hawkbucker sound?
