Monday angst?
THIS morning?
How about....tougher than normal?
It's a great thought. One I defiantly like. I imagine from their perspective it would be a no go. The concern being crappy looking finishes with the Gibson/Epi name on it. People see something done with Dutch Boy spray can and (wrongly) conclude QC sucks. But from the buyers side, I like it. What's that Cadillac color again?

That is quite extraordinary. What exactly is going on at 8:43? or is that the Twilight Zone part...

Yes, very bizarre custom dn bass. Being basically a Dano Longhorn, at least it wouldn't be too heavy.

It wouldn't be too heavy, but who knows how it would balance.

I've never played a Dano Longhorn, much less a dn so I can't say but the "long" upper horn is where it optimally should be for good balance. My '68 (Dano) Coral is neck-heavy mostly because it has 2 steel beams that run the length of the neck. (no truss-rod) I don't know if all Dano's from the 60's are like that or not.
it also has the tilt-heal system (metal stopper)
Now I wonder - was this `bird related? And if so, was it because the guy from CL did or did not show up? I suppose he is now residing with #62.
Looks like that old 2am joke about taking some hottie home from the bar and waking up the next morning to a shocking surprise.That is quite extraordinary. What exactly is going on at 8:43? or is that the Twilight Zone part...

The Coral(?) Wasp I had was neck heavy as well. Same thing with the non-adjustable neck and steel reinforcement beams. Mine did not have a tilt-heel system at all. The tilt was all spare change when I got it sorted.
It probably balances just fine... in an inverted vertical position.
There’s a video of them playing Radar Love in a stadium with 1000 drummers (!) and he was playing that.
saw them at an outdoor fest in Nijmegen in 79...dude was playing a J....great live energy..

It's pretty subliminal - if you blinked, you'd miss it.
