Not a Gibson, but this is a start.
JML Thunderbird 4 String Short Scale Custom Bass

Ive been looking at it but, its alittle pricey, kinda heavy, short on details, etc. I'll bet it's a solid instrument though.

I think Alice turned 70 a year or more ago. Strange to run into him in the mall; I would have guessed on a golf course.

You are correct sir!! Turned 71 in Feb. I have run into him in 2 malls and at a dive club we hung out at a LOT in the early 80's. He was there to see the main band and my friends were opening for them.
Used to run into Rob Halford at concerts and clubs as well. He lived here for decades but I have no clue if he still does. Weirdest place I ever saw him was at Cracker Barrel restaurant. He also sat right behind us at a Loudness and Keel show. He had a really cute blonde girl as his "date". That was before his sexuality became common knowledge.

Gave in to temptation and installed rotosound 77's. Lowered the action to stupidly dangerous levels and loving it.

I feel like the neck / fingerboard could be offset a few degrees couter clockwise to offset the tendency of the body to hang with the upper bout drifted away ay a small angle. Not enough to kill it for me although I did briefly entertain the idea of flipping this baby. I think I've got it where I want it now.

If it were in the states and half the price I'd be all over it.

Man that’s a lot. I need another pj like a hole in the head. But it sure looks nice!

If it was a NR, I'd be tempted. My wallet's glad it's not.

On the road to spend the rest of the week in my Sacto office. Stuck for four nights in a crappy hotel. Gave up my place here last year. At least I’ll get to practice some. All tuned and ready to play.

This was the second or third album I ever bought.

It still rocks although it does sound a little dated. My brother and I keep talking about doing fox on the run or ballroom blitz.

That's a fun album, The Nasty Habits close most of our shows with Ballroom Blitz - Silly fun!

Yeah, I can "hear" y'all doin' that.

Our usual closer is "We Gotta Get Outta This Place"-crowd usually likes-and gets-it.

used to see Halford at the Button South in Hallandale FL. all the time in the early 80's..thought he may have been living there at the time cause he was literally there everytime I went..

An under-appreciated song, never mind a useful one!

The forward tilt ? Place your strap so that it travels across the rear bout between strap bolt and shoulder

'70s Glam.......My first love. These guys, along with Slade, Bowie, T-Rex, The Sweet......Alice Cooper and Kiss, they were my influences and what I thought Rock Stars should look like.

Worked out ok.

Looking a little coy there.

That's because, while you're wondering how the night will go... she already knows.

There’s a vid out there of the boss giving a speech about the inspiration he got from that song.

Soccer players have their Bend it like Beckham. We have Hang it like Novoselic.

still think that song rocks...

+1 I rock that song on the way to work all the time!

Felix used a T-Bird quite a bit....

His bird is in great shape! ...other than the added jack-plate - shades of Watt. (another T-bird player)
