cool hs

Thank you!

I have no clue. EB calls them hybrid.

The weird thing to me is that it's the 45-105 that EB calls Hybrid.

45-65-85-105 are medium as far as I'm concerned.

Now I think of it 50-70-90-110 might be interesting.

Yeah. I've never played heavier than 105. Steve Harris' set comes close. 50-75-95-110.

One-upping the Beast? That should make life interesting.

Well that would be one hundred upping ... but the results would likely be the same ... impaled on wrought ironwork while some really cheesy 70s synth music played in the background.

One-upped one digit, regardless. There are numerous ways to describe almost anything that happens with numbers! I mean, maybe they one-upped the ones column and rotated the whole thing right one position. Maybe the numerals on the end didn't understand "stage left" and "stage right". Maybe it's an Arabic number so it reads right to left.
This is what I got out of calculus, which is part of why I ended up in computer science instead of electrical engineering.

Do y'all name your basses (and/or other gear)?
I have never been able to get names to stick for my guitars, but Leon was just obvious for the first TB, the IV. I'm torn between Ox and Treebeard (playing with an Ent(whistle) concept) for the Pro V.

Sitting in Gold Coast airport heading home (waiting to is more accurate) in the big silver bird.

Saw these and just had to grab a couple:

The NR41 is/was the 'KatBird' ... but 99% of the time it's called the 'NR41' or 'red one'. The JAEbird is the 'JAEbird' and the Orville is the 'Orville'. So ... no(t really).

 

[JIO]

(upon reflection) yes, but not names like Roger or Tulip .... (or Raymond)

Not as a rule. My Carvin is called Greta, or the Greta Bass, because it was my friend Greta's. The RNR is/will be called Grant because it arrived the day Grant Hart died. The Thunderbird doesn't have a name. I just call it the Thunderbird.

Also, since it's (barely) still Thursday here:

Leon's on the left. Open to suggestions for the other's name. (Not Thanos. As tempting as that is.)

The Ibanez is Ringo because there was an apple sticker on the back of it and Ibanez is Japanese.

The (white on white) P ish Bass is Snowy. Which started a 60s rock/pop drummers streak. (Snowy Fleet of The Easybeats; I guessed you have heard of Ringo.)

I threw around ‘Charlie’ for the Challenge, but it never really stuck.

The Goth is just ‘the Goth’.

The Gibson Thunderbird is <reverently> ‘The Thunderbird’

 

[GBassNorth]

LOL Yeah my current hold up is deciding between a Gibson or an Epiphone.

That's easy, get one of each.

This one’s for @GBassNorth.

LOL - I forgot about that thread.
Sure, I'll show you my backside...

 

[RedVee]

I have a nice rear too !

Donegal ?

Well, it is green and Washington is the Evergreen State. Donnerstag is German for Thursday, Donnervogel = Thunderbird.

Aha!

I was just following the Don and green, theme

 

[Count Bassie]

Since it's Thunderbird Thursday and the general consensus in the group is that white Birds are "Pure Sex", here is my contribution:

Pure Non-Reverse sex. A little racy there...

 

[Count Bassie]

I had a Rickie Blackstar I named "Noche", and my '76 was dubbed "Buzz". Since they left, I haven't named another bass. My track record requires redemption, just not a good mojo move at this point. Remorse has taken it's small toll in that regard... things change. Maybe another bass will get the grant to occupy that spot, we'll see. I need to be in a full-on project band for that kind of relationship to kindle I think, and right now is just about bread. Again, things change...
