Look, Liam... you post up a pick of you looking anything close to this fabulous with your Tbird and we might consider making you a princess, the queen slot is full.
Hail to our Queen!
There can be only ONE Queen (TBird58)...
Who is that... ?

Oh, this will be good! Where's my popcorn?
My bird has no grounding issues anymore. Took the bridge post out yesterday and wanted to solder the ground wire to the post. No success, so i took a piece of aluminium foil tape and taped the wire to the post. Used contact cement to put the post back. Waited 24h before setting up again and voila, buzzing goes away when i touch bridge, tuners, strings. And is very minimal when i don't touch any of these componants. I am one happy bird lover!!

You guys are killin' it!
I still don't have a good shot of this bass, it's a '79 that was in pretty ratty shape after I'd played it had for several years. We have 3 outdoor shows at the end of this month, perhaps it'll look good out in the sun.

Great shot! Also like how you Lull managed to sneak into the pictures as well...
Right okay everyone, maybe I'm not the queen, I'll stick with being the Joker

I guess it's settled right...?
I suppose the rest of us are either knights, squires or herolds then...
I'm just here to encourage you! I'll expect some fine English humor Liam
I'm actually scottish but reside in England!
Thanks. Actually sold my '98 on the boards here and got this one. There's a story there that one day I'll have to post on my blog that hasn't been updated in forever. http://barbandbassist.wordpress.com/about/
