Because even God can’t hit a 2 iron.

I'm glad someone got the reference.

I thought I felt a tremor yesterday when I was in Canoga Park....

Canoga park always makes me think of Joe's Garage.

Looking great! Is there any significance to the fact that you are between two women and in front of a dumpster in the picture? Just gotta ask because it's the kind of question that has to be asked around here.

I have been told by a 70 year old colleague that spending time in the gym and being healthy in your 50s means you won't hate yourself in your 60s. I'm less than a year behind you, and hope to be able to rock to the finish line as well.

yes they have neck dive issues.

The one time that I was playing a P bass, my car got broken into. I haven't played a P bass since and my car hasn't been broken into. P basses cause cars to be broken into.

not a myth on my basses. and yes if slung low and played with a pick it is more of a non issue. I dont do either. also non reverse is much better.....

Everyone knows that playing with a pick cures neck dive

And shouldn't the dumpster be on fire?

Whippersnappers! Hmph!(GOF sound) 74 in August.

But, when you were 28, @godofthunder59 was only half your age. Now he is more than 4/5 your age. He is catching up!

I like the unedited version better. Just a fact.

My left or yours?

I've always liked the look and feel and sound of the T bird but, aren't they neck heavy? Last thing I need to do is wrestle with my bass .

Very few of them have enough to matter. As others note, adjust height or angle to suit. I suppose if your left hand is never touching the neck you might notice enough to matter (more than others), but that's a silly way to play bass.
I will note that both of mine have the neck strap button on the back rather than the upper body.

That looks fantastic. Curious about the decision for gold hardware.

I will note that both of mine have the neck strap button on the back rather than the horn. Not sure how that would help, but some say it does.

It would be seriously awkward if my left hand were touching the neck.

Because Nikkis had gold

Gorgeous! Very cool mix of gold and black, too. I would probably not have thought of that.

So you choose silly just because you're left-handed?

(Being silly, of course. I had an explanatory smart-aleck remark but it could have been construed as political, so I removed it.)

Black is always bad ass but gold adds class with the right color

I totally agree. I've just gotten used to thinking of basses as having either gold, chrome, nickel, or black. The occasional bass I see with black and nickel or chrome hasn't done it for me. This does. I appreciate it both for what it is, and for destroying that box I was thinking in. Boxes suck. Thankfully they only exist if you believe in them. That sort of boxes, anyway.

He should have changed his name from Roy to Rod...

I'm pretty good at mathing. Based in how fast @godofthunder59 is catching up to @GonePlaid , Scott will be the elder in a decade or so.
