I'm confused about what's going on with this bass:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

1. I didn't know that body style came in a five string.
2. It has both P & J pickups but no Thunderbird pickups.
4. The strap button is on the bottom side of the neck.
3 sir! No thunderbird head stock.

I'm sure you guys will see more that's wrong with it. I can only guess that the only legit part of that is the Epiphone neck plate on the back. I don't know.

Oh, it's legit. I have one. That's the way they came-although the strap button appears to be an owner mod. I added one at the neck plate. [not visible in this pic]

In this country the downfall of beer began with Prohibition, pretty quickly followed by WW II's demand for barley, which left the brewer's searching for cheaper, yet inferior alternatives - namely corn and rice. Read the ingredient list on a can of Bud. People drank rice and corn beer before the craft beer resurgence in the 1990's. Most still prefer it. Bud is the most popular beer in the US and even London, even though it is not beer according to a 700 year old German law

And my tastebuds.

Totally legit bass. Strap button has been moved for sure (and not sure WHY they moved it there) but I think the bridge is original. Other than that looks like a stock Epi NR from the 90's. Basically a 7ender in Tbird-ish clothing.

Yup.

1. I wouldn't expect the Spanish to leave a TR6. Maybe a Brit who got tired of fixing it?
2. Maybe it was a Spaniard. It clearly wasn't someone who reads English because it clearly states NO PARKING!

Well, technically it's not parked at the sign, so..........

the Spanish left some cool stuff behind..

Don't think there was a truck big enough to move it lol

Peroni from Italy and Sapporo from Japan.

Certainly not Carling from the UK

Lotta folks think the British cars get good mileage, but the Spanish used to get 2000 miles to the galleon. Thank you, be here all week!

Canadian Carling was pretty decent when I had some in 81.

I don't know about that but I've had no complaints... Oh sorry, I read that as ten inch.

Since I'm still not getting bites on the EpiBird 5er-and I'll be busy most of Thursday-here's these 'Birds of a(sorta)feather again[update:not as busy as I thought I'd be]

had to be one of their Trappist beers, their best...Lucifer’s one of my faves..

There were 6 different beers. I had 3. (I freely admit I’m a lightweight drinker)

 

[Engle]

I have been drinking kombucha lately. It's one of those furry upper left corner of the world things.

I had some offered to me at a meeting a few weeks ago. It didn’t seem like a great idea so I passed.

I really like Rippers. I have an Attila body that’s similar and if I made it thinner and then built a neck with a V headstock...

 

[Engle]

when we get shut down again..

very cool, there are more than 10 Trappist beers in Europe, 6 are from Belgium....I would’ve been all over that!
