He ain’t Allen Woody but I’m sure it was an awesome show!

Annnnnnnnnd.......Shoes!
Me too, but I think I'd need a bridge pickup for visual balance and also a thumb rest. Not sure I'd even need it wired in.
Dude! Calm down! Unless you are in the psych ward. In which case tell them you are a little low on Vitamin H and probably need a top up on vitamin A.
I’d love that! Thank you!
You are right, but lots of guys just don’t think it matters. And if they are in a stable relationship and have a job where appearance isn’t really an issue, comfort and utility are more important than appearance.Small rant here...…..
For the most part, yes. There are some men's clothes (and men) that really do look sharp. I see lots of people through the course of a normal workday, its completely commonplace to see nicely dressed women (nice clothes, and nice ensemble) on the train, walking to work and coming in to my store. Men doing the same thing are a rarity at best, I don't mind saying that I enjoy seeing a well dressed man, it just doesn't happen often. Further, it seems as though men are not allowed to wear anything even remotely form fitting, as if we should for some reason be ashamed to show any hint of a figure, and were you to do so, you'd be thought of in less than masculine terms. I detest most men's pants, they're baggy and often fit poorly and are unbecoming for the most part, since starting my job in downtown Seattle I've never worn men's pants to work, ever. I wear women's pants, usually from Eddie Bauer, they fit nice , look sharp and feel really good on my skin. I have some nice kind of stretchy black ones from Macy's that I really like too, so much more comfy than any men's pants!
It's new dress day, that's for later...…..end of small rant.
TLDR, I don't like men's clothes!
And loose clothes hide a fat gut!
I’m a reformed slob myself. I started a new job recently where appearance matters more. That necessitated a couple of shopping trips with my wife and daughter. Sure enough I’m wearing much tighter, nicer looking clothes. I even have nice boots!
I like it. It’s probably way lighter than the one I built!
sounds MASSIVE...I was playing it with nylon strings into a blueface SVT, 1 CV 18" and an Eden 4 X 10"....no need for senna glycoside.....
Lol! I’d crap myself real easy!!!!! Smooth move for sure!
The other direction has books, my bad.
Civilized culture, we can't have that now............
So... had rehearsal tonight.
This is my second outing with the TB.
To give some perspective on this opinion...my other bass (ESP fretless Bunny Brunel signature bass) is a monster flexible beast. I can pretty pull off everything with it.
But MY LAND. The growl. The punch. The SUSTAIN. I'm running with the stock Probuckers supplied on my VP. It is absurd how it just hangs. At our church this evening, the ceiling mounted subs mount bracket was rattling as a result of this particular instrument. They scheduled someone in maintenance to install some kind of insulation to fix it for Sunday.
I'm super impressed with it. Loving this bass.
My band (not the church team) plays a mixture of blues, classic rock, and country, and I'm exploring where to plug in with the TB. It's so extremely different that I find myself relearning riffs.
Sorry for the long post - but I wanted to really walk you guys through my feelings of discovery as I reinvent myself with this bass.
It's absolutely awesome.

Thurderbird Thursday.
Classic white and Polka Dots.
Big fan of Polka Dots (1/2 Polish, 1/2 Czech)

At work (internet software company) I tend to dress casual. That is what they seem to want (If you wear a tie to an interview there, that is considered a negative). I tend to wear shorts and t-shirts with Van's or Converse. If I am dressing up a bit I wear a slimmer cut of pants and shirts, at least what this fat body allows. When I played the last couple shows I stepped it up from the t-shirt and shorts look cause it sort of separates you from the people watching the show. Plus the look of the band dictated that we not wear shorts and t-shirts.
I was the exact same way. Thought I would be a TERRIBLE parent. I am so thankful that I ended up having my daughter. As terrified as I was of the thought of being a parent, it is by far the best thing I have ever been involved in. Sorry for the sappy content. Back to your regularly scheduled fun.
I was lusting over the blue version yesterday. I think the guard is totally wrong but I don't think that would stop me from buying one if I liked how it played.
I love this album! it feels so...........warm and fuzzy. Not sure how else to explain it.
Thunderbird Thursday, sorry no shoes.
