Fun trivia:

Wile E Coyote - the E stands for Ethelbert
The two incredibly polite gophers are Mac and Tosh
Marc Antony's little kitten is named Pussyfoot
There were rules for Coyote and Roadrunner, including the Roadrunner must remain on the road, gravity is Coyote's worst enemy, and the audience's sympathy should remain with the Coyote.
The cat pursued by Pepe LePew is Penelope.

The folding stool I've been using collapsed the other night. It turns out it was made by Acme.

In saying I "like" this I mean it's interesting to see something other than the network news shots. Scary stuff.

The two years I lived in Silicon Valley, there was nothing like that so I'm just going to go ahead and take credit for fire prevention.

If you can take credit for containment as well I’m sure Jerry Brown would be eager to make you an offer you can’t refuse..

Just as well, with that finger, you won't be playing for a while.

P.S., that photo was taken at the end of a gig. I'm gonna play, hold my beer...

Nah, you wouldn't like it. Side dots and face dots are white and almost impossible to see on maple. Besides, you have to move the pickup by hand!

Heheheheheeee! Just my kind of bass. Is that one yours?

RIP Roy Clark.....
one of the baddest muthafriggin pickers out there ever!..........

I saw a bassist playing one of those recently. I talked to him after the show and he let me check it out. It was well worn and very nice! I was also surprised how light it was.

It's a '95 LPB-25 that I've had since '96. Stock Barts and currently has D'Addario half rounds on it. I really need to play it more though it is kinda heavy.

Beauty! Supposedly, I’m getting an EB-3 for Christmas...we’ll see

Yes, I’ve been looking. I like everything Gibson! I’m also loving the Ripper and Grabber basses a lot. Eventually I’ll collect one of each.

My first ‘real’ bass was a Gibson G3, followed up by a Ripper. Love em both! Had a Grabber for about 10 years. One of my favorite sessions I ever did was on a Grabber. I’m kinda on the lookout for another Ripper, but I wouldn’t trade my main Gibson T Bird or Cataldo for one

Headstocks are for whacking guitarists in the head.

Definitely!

Maybe that all the chases had to be on the road since there were lots of occasions when he was off the road.

I've heard 40% contained and a couple of weeks before it's out ~

was meaning to ask you. I remember the std Les Paul bass being somewhat uncomfortable due to the thickness of the body and the sharp edge of the bound top. Yours does not seem to have binding. aside from the weight is it comfortable? how's the balance? Always wanted a LP bass..
