Into the dirt tonight....

Hmmmmay have to take the dog out for walk and listen to Vol4

Opened for them in Richmond one time in 88' I think? People were passing out from the stobe lights and the medical sex change operation films being projected on the band.

Cool! I saw them in NY the next year.

Oh my Lord! That Ouija one is too much!! I want it!..

Same here!! It appeals to my inner horror geek.

What a great song! The singing is amazing and that snare drum!!! The last minute is epic. Station To Station might be my favorite Bowie record

The Professor on keys is amazing on that track.

Best SNL musical-guest moment ever. And they were banned after this performance. This is what I love about the punk rock ethic:

Can’t believe that was over 40 years ago. I remember that like it was yesterday.

 

[Gaolee]

Just two?

 

[MCF]

But wait, it gets better!, uh, well, that's all relative i suppose. I'm sure my punishment awaits me.

I think she probably means Australian states... You can tell the difference because they are upside down and have a strange accent.

didn't know that country was divided in states......interesting..

 

[GonePlaid]

Possibly a tad overstated

A 'mini-tad'.

Go the green! It’s ‘the Friday before’ St Pats Day here. Green shirt, Guinness cap, salmon fillet with colcannon for lunch and a pint of the health drink

Pass on the salmon but the Colcannon? Mmmm. Currently enjoying an Innis & Gunn Bourbon barrel aged Porter.

I'm on 737s a lot these days. It's been nice knowing you all.

If you see one named Edmund Fitzgerald..........

I’ll probably play it more with the neck angled up, like the late Leon Wilkeson, not sure I can sling a bass low, anymore, due to arthritis everywhere.

Also "blessed" with arthritis. Try it lower than 'normal'. You'll find it pretty comfortable-just weird, at first.

Who's not?......

NBD--Used 2015 from the CME sale (sadly didn't see the one on TB before dropping the hammer). I play 70's blues rock with 2 very loud guitarists, one who likes a super chunky LP reissue, the other likes a PRS 24. My basses have to sound filthy and deep to cut through with these two, and many of my basses are just too polite.

I am experiencing the usual adjustments needed in applying a longer reach and floating my thumb between the PuPs). I play mostly PJs and rest the thumb on the split coil. I lowered the EB3 pickups on this T-Bird just out of the range of where they could sound "chorus-like" in the upper register. This bass is one ounce below 8 lbs and is balanced when lap playing.

I need to have something that can approximate a Jazz bass sound for several songs, so the coil tap switches on the T-Bird are much appreciated. I can't see myself rolling back the tone knob on this thing except for a couple of reggae tunes.

More important than dealing with the adjustments I will make to play this thing is that this thing makes my sorry old self look badass and puts me back to my 70's teenage self.

May I have a number?

Nice Bass Blisters!
