Looks like my 6 year old granddaughter left y'all a message while I went to take a whiz...........................
Just bought a "mint" white Epi VP T-Bird from Sam Ash Direct. I can't tell from the pic if it's an older bass with taller tuners and possibly lighter or not. Won't know more till it gets here next week I assume. Comes with a 1 yr warranty. Hopefully it's a good one as there is no Sam Ash within an hour and half from here. I got nervous after buying it so I'll just stay that way till it gets here. Now I'll have a less expensive T-Bird than my '64 or '76, and it will sound different than both of them. Hopefully lighter than my '76 as well!
Just got home from work and then rehearsal, and here's Birdie Num-Num and her new friend, Edie! (Eden D410-T).
That was funny. Not even glib. A tad insensitive, perhaps, but it's humor! So it's understood to be part of the deal.
Meanwhile I'm looking forward to seeing this bass get paraded around!
I can't tell who that dude is. His eyes have a black bar on them...
We are having a parade for the flamingo!? I call sousaphone!
At first glance I thought it was JJR alien speak.Looks like my 6 year old granddaughter left y'all a message while I went to take a whiz...........................
I just assume alcohol was involved. Now that I think about it, we can't discount alcohol involvement and blaming the innocent.
I think it's the style of knobs on your bass. Bells, they're called... I guess Fixer was mad at them.
I miss that guy.
The Fixer hated bell knobs and liked top hats. And took great pains to explain the differences (that most of us ignore). Every time I see bells I think about his great (well described, not big) outrage at putting bell knobs on basses.
I think many of us miss him. He had a great way of describing things.
I'm with you. Going up to 11 is more important than style. I would happily replace top hats with bells that go to 11 (top hats are not available in a form that goes to 11). But @theFixer hated them. I recall several amusing exchanges about knobs with him. Ahem.
And I still tag him in posts even though he has not been checked in to TB in 6 months. Just in case he does check in, he should know that he is remembered.
