I couldn't say it any better! You all make this a really nice place to hang out and have some easy going fun. Many thanks to Carlo for all his knowledge - Cool cars too!
Have a wonderful day with your families guys!

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
My '68 Corvette, the only year they didn't say 'StingRay' on the side. The designers didn't want them called that. The sales department and customers did. By 1969 they were badged Sting Ray.
The happiest days owning a Corvette is the first and the last.
My current ride, 425 HP '06 JWT twin turbo 350Z. 60 WAS the new 20 for me.
Nice car Carlo...
But why is the tow hook sticking out in the front?

Nice car Carlo...

Thanks. That pic is a few years old. I had a problem with the turbo wiring that required a tow. After I had it fixed I left the hook in place for a few days (maybe a few weeks?). Didn't want to waste effort putting it back on if it was just going to break down again
. It's a California car, I drove it to Florida in 51 hrs right after I bought it. Here's the start of the trip in Santa Monica.HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!

I can't say 100% that is how the humbucker-sized pickups are that I have (not without removing them anyhow) but I seem to remember that a couple of the ones I bought had a designation of neck or bridge pickup. Not in a position to remove one to find out today tho. The braided wire looks like what is on all of the TBird pickups I have had outside of a Gibson bass (TBird or LP style). Gibson has used this style pickup in several basses over the last few years and always referred to them as TBPlus so these could have come from a non-TBird model.

I would say Happy Thunderbird Day, but let's face it, that's everyday for all of us in the club 
Happy Grace action (action de grace) To our friends in the states from my place in Quebec!! Don't forget to use the thunderbird to carve the turkey, it's gotta be done just right

Getting back to basses for a moment... I just impulse bought a non-TBird, non-Gibson, non-Epi bass.
It's pretty cool, neck through, 24 fret, quality components. Hip Shot bridge and tuners, Bartolini P/U's. Active/Passive toggle. Pristine condition.
It'll ship tomorrow.

Nope.

Absolutely.
That could be a lot of things. Something tells me it isn't a 7ender.
You are correct, sir!
How many basses come from the factory with a 3 band EQ pre-amp and a passive/active toggle? I've given enough clues, work that Google-foo!
