[Klondike]

So before I try to catch up here. Doing a little window shopping.
Just tried out this VP since it’s the only one I’ve ever seen in NY.
I’m super impressed.

If that is "speaking" to you, then I would recommend getting it stat! Probably won't be there long and the price is about right, see if you can get them to add a case all for $700 would be a nice deal. The $400 dollar one next door is Not a good price, I always hold our for $100 on those and it does happen. Good luck.

The other morning, our boxer Stella had her head resting on an ottoman. Peter the cat was sitting on the ottoman patting Stella’s head. We didn’t manage to capture the moment on video, but it sure was cute!

Not much of a welder, worked for a long time in the Gulf of Mexico, oilfield trash. Moved to Chi Town and the whole thing changed, not nearly as much fun factor. Did a lot of pumping crap and tearing dow and rebuilding traveling screens. mostly in steel mills but also power plants Nuclear and otherwise, Even had to do a job once in a poop plant, fortunately I didn't have to get in the tank. Poor guy that did get to make the dive said he could still smell it even with triple redundant exhaust valves. The drysuit and all the rubber parts for his hat were immediately disposed, and/or replaced, not so fun job~ There is surprisingly a very small amount of welds done under water. Most guys that say they did didn't dive either. Its an extremely small world in the Diving Industry.

pretty intense line of work...knew a navy diver from Oklahoma (went by Duke) that had always wanted to be a singer but never really had what it takes....after 6 tours of Vietnam (crazy fvcker) he started working in Bahrein doing welding on oil rig related stuff and made an absolute fortune.....then he bought his own bar (called Duke's of course) in a ritzy marina on the Costa del Sol called Puerto Banus and used to hire top talent from Vegas as his backing outfit. The band would play all night and Duke would get up and do to or three Sinatra songs per night...
In his mind....he made it....cool story......that said, all that narcosis must have gotten to him because he was plain nuts...6'4" from Oklahoma in southern Spain riding around on a Road King....they LOVED him...

Hey guys. I love you all but I have decided to sell my Gibson Thunderbird. It is such a sweet bass and deserves to be rocked. I am branching out into guitar, no longer in my metal band, and she is not getting played...

For Sale - Modified Gibson Thunderbird

You'll be back!

Buy It!

 

[PillO]

welder?

Barely know `er.

 

[Dadagoboi]

Tell the cat to move or the new replacement dog is on the way. The cat, being a cat won't pay any attention, so get a dog!

Yeah, because a dog is so much less maintenance than a cat.

Given the choice, I would take the `bird home rather than @Chucky Stiletti YMMV

 

[PillO]

I like it! Careful with the windmills.

Ahem.

 

[JJR58]

Buy It!

I would love to, but since i got the M6, i'm on a whole new tone quest.
Got something in mind before i buy any more basses for now.

Even with almost dead rounds on it, it had "that growl". Impressive bass for the money.

 

[JJR58]

"needs a bridge cover"

Neh-Vah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JJR58]

You left without buying it?! Do I have to fly out there and give a another whipping?

If you come here. You'll be in my clutches, and won't be allowed to leave.

 

[GonePlaid]

Neh-Vah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, well. Everyone to their own sack......er, bag. That's it.

 

[JJR58]

And don't you Eh-vah, ask me to take you to see Blade Runer again, Eh-Vah!!!!!!!!!!!

You're probably wondering what that meant. Hard to explain, just go with it.
