Is it a bolt-on or a neck-thru? 4 strings? 3-point bridge or block type? The bolt-on is a standard; neck-thru w/ block bridge is a Pro, the non-bolt-on w/ 3-pt bridge is a Classic Pro.

That pretty much sums it up!

Don't worry Andii - you'll know you've hit midlife crisis when you buy your first corvette.

You do mean a Warwick Corvette, right..?

 

[vdub75]

warwick Tuners are installed. first pickup is in. not sure if I'll order a second one or just Chrome the tb+.

Next: Wiring and the Bridge.

LOL - Actually this signals you've reached puberty...

And this signals you've reached your mid life crisis...

Somewhere in the middle you've hopefully obtained one of these, which signals you've reached perfection...

And in the end you get one of these, which signals that you're finally on AARPs mailing list...

Both of those Corvettes scream, "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!!!"

...not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yeah, I guess you could say the first pic screams, "Look at me, I'm 16 years old and in my first band"
The second pic screams in a deeper smoother voice, "Look at me babe, I'm 45 and married but I'm still a player"
The third pic screams in a full rockin voice, "Look at me just own this bass line"
The last one screams in a crackly old voice, "Help I've fallen and I can't get up"

You got that right! Well, you got them ALL right but the last one cannot be argued at all. That retro TBird was so off the mark of what the first TBird was to the automotive world. Some people bought them thinking they'd be instantly collectible and years later sold them for half of what they bought them for because no one cared about them. Relegated to the automotive dustbin.

...so Andii, good health/luck concenting - being 21 you'll be 'middle aged' in about 30 yrs from now. (as 'old age' will be averaging late 90's when you are that age) Sorta' sci-fi but food for thought

Don't worry Andii - you'll know you've hit midlife crisis when you buy your first corvette.

Actually, i'm not much a corvette fan. If anything, i'll hop in the front seat of this car.

It's one hell of a bombshell!

They did that, when they should have done this...
Hotrod T-bird

 

[Klondike]

Its looking like today will be a good day to paint. Best day this week anyway. Calling for rain tommorrow and the day after.

So last night I fired up the de-humidifier to get the humidity down a bit (in the 65-80%) right now. The de-humidifier will help bring that down to a better range. And the temp today will be in the forties outside but I will be in the bass-ment.

More later.

Axiom 3.2.1 in "The Secret Thunderbird Handbook" states:
"Every time lightning strikes an electrical utility transformer, a thunderbird gets it's wings."
Axiom 7.6.6 in "The Secret Thunderbird Handbook" states:
"A Thunderbird bass should never be left alone in a room with a small child. It is not good for either of them"
Axiom 1.2.6 in "The Secret Thunderbird Handbook" states:
"A three point bridge adjustment requires an advanced comprehension of statics, dynamics, and acoustics. Adjustment attempts after any whiskey or weed intake are strictly prohibited.

The last of the great T-birds ('63) coincidentally the 1st year of the other great T-bird

Don't worry Andii - you'll know you've hit midlife crisis when you buy your first corvette.

Or go for it like I plan to when I'm old enough. It may never happen because I turn 14 again every year, but this could happen if I ever get to some other age. So, here's what the properly planned midlife crisis entails:

Four maxed out credit cards, bimbo/bimbette (hair, gender, etc. of your choosing), rented Cadillac Coupe deVille with pumped up tires, mind altering substances of various kinds ingested over a period of time and in varying quantities and combinations, a trebuchet, a hijacked flatbed truck carrying watermelons, a full gospel choir, three police helicopters, six blown roadblocks, a stretch of abandoned highway, a tropical island, an international incident involving diplomats, spies, and stolen diamonds, and finally, a parachute and a paper bag with six million dollars in unmarked small bills.

If you start planning for it early enough and train hard enough, you can do it right. Otherwise, it's probably best to leave it to the pros.

Now that's a bucket list!

You really, really don't want me to suggest names for your band, let alone your cat or child.
