Man. I was seven. Went to the neighbor’s house to watch it in color. I wonder if Lesley Ann digs THUNDERBIRDS.

Of course she does.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Exactly. And thus it sits on the floor for crawlers and toddlers to play with.

not a bad thing....could point them towards STEM....

Problem solved! I probably ought to figure out something like that. I clip it to the Thinderbird's strap or the upright's bow quiver. Not my belt. It would be completely destroyed if I did that. Forgetting and walking away with it still plugged in would happen, probably sooner rather than later. Oooh, shiny! CRASH! Self awareness prevents future disasters sometimes.

Here’s the pic I thought I had posted before:

Last night’s practice duo. The VP has Cobalt flats, so it’s not quite bright enough for Frankenstein. The Aria Pro II with RS66s approaches a Chris Squire Ric tone when you dig in.

7ender is having success with multiple new Mustang offerings. G&L is doing a shorty. And now there is this very intriguing ‘Ray:

Come on Gibson/Epi, it’s time for a ss Tbird again!

It’s a Les Paul Junior I built with a Warmoth Bloodwood on Wenge neck. My brother in law bought 2 pieces of walnut at a garage sale years ago thinking they would make a good bass body. I copied the shape from my Epiphone Spirit guitar (made in Kalamazoo). It has a Kent Armstrong passive soapbar.
I had a Badass on it, but that went to the fretless. It weighs a ton, but I recently moved the strap button to the heel, and that makes it hang nicer.

Betty missed the Donner party but...

I am sure she would have appreciated Thunderbirds.

I have some artwork of Ms. Page that will eventually grace my VP as a vinyl wrap.

yeah, recognized the melody maker shape but the headstock threw me off...nice job, bet it sounds great..

I was on Jetstar. Now in Invervegas. No Thunderbirds sighted so far.

Cool. No Thunderbirds here either.
Off to Milford Sound now.

Home Wednesday.

I recorded a 4 songs for an EP with it recently. I’ll post when that gets released.

It’s one of those basses that has a lot of miles on it, and when you play it, you see why. It’s the only actual 7ender I own:

 

[Spieluhr]

A little fun with "Be my Girl" by Jett. Still Thursday here!

Ginger with a tambourine.... that girl knows how to have fun! Lovin' it.

They’ve always wanted to play with gear, and I figured better this than something live. Old Stuff like this is nigh indestructible.
And yeah.

She is a most wonderful band mate and lifelong friend, I am so fortunate that she's part of my life.
