you really wanna summons Plaid?

Have we opened Pandora's salami box?

No idea. Long scale winding length is 38" for Ken Smith.

Yeesh! Even for my 67 NR, that's kinda long. I was just curious since I found my strings: EB Cobalt Flats on both 'Birds and will be on others prn except the Ibby semi-hollow(D'Ad tapes)

Hi Everyone,

New Thunderbird owner here, a 2008 model. I was pointed in the direction of this awesome thread when I was looking for a case (settled on the Gator Pro) and once again when I put up a thread on the best strings to use on a T-Bird. Therefore, I think it was about time I said hey!
Mike

Glad you made it over here

 

[Goatrope]

[GonePlaid]

[GonePlaid]

If we are going for the kimono look, I'll have to find something like this.

It might be one of these, but the more i try to enlarge the image, i keep losing detail.
Anybody's guess on that one. Chalk me up for a fail as well.

yes! you nailed it, Leo Quan Badass....GL used those on his Ricks...I have a Badass Bass II

Interesting. In the NIN YouTube clip that was originally posted I can clearly see the string ball ends. Badass bridges have recessed ball end cavities that would not normally allow the ball end to be seen IIRC.

However, the still shots of his bass do look like a badass. Is that a pic of the NIN bass or is that a pic of a Geddy owned bass?

Wonder if he was using ball extenders during the YouTube performance to keep the silks off the saddles?

You rang?

That's a look I'm pretty sure to avoid attempting. It would not end well.

Marginally better choice than the prog rock cape

In the 70s we tried the no shirt/open vest look-once.

Guess our allocation of serious got consumed discussing strings this morning.

about the oxymoron of a fretless Precision.....

That’s hilarious. Moreso because, as a mere lad, I put a fretless Precision neck on a Bradley Jazz Bass copy. I still have it but haven’t played it in a millennia.

 

[GBassNorth]

you mean like this one?...
