Grate minds shred alike. Or something like that.
I was encouraged in another thread to post my new bass here as well, I hope it raises not too many eyebrows that it isn't a Gibby or Epi

I am still adapting to the ergonomics but it feels and sounds good.
I don't think we are purists here. Nice looking Bird!!
My investigations revealed that Thomman has some sort of US entity that can do the sale reducing shipping and VAT charges.
There was one listed for a long time for about $300 on Vancouver CL last year. (For you Mericans that’s like $200)
Not as much as you might think.
Looks nice! Set neck?I was encouraged in another thread to post my new bass here as well, I hope it raises not too many eyebrows that it isn't a Gibby or Epi

One of my favorite quotes:
The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance. (Albert Einstein)
One can be ignorant and arrogant. Just ignorant. Not ignorant and just arrogant. Ignorance can me more easily remedied than arrogance.
Sinful confession: I like messing with arrogant people. There are multiple ways. All are fun. Often they never notice....because they are arrogant.
I wonder how the new ones compare?
Hell yes it raises eyebrows! And thumbs up as well! She's a looker, never played or heard one but she's got all the right stuff to fit in this club. Stay tuned and our Queen will come by to welcome you to the club with a number and encouragement to jump in the pool, the water is warm and fast moving.I was encouraged in another thread to post my new bass here as well, I hope it raises not too many eyebrows that it isn't a Gibby or Epi

They're about £150 new in UK

It used to be better than the Phx store IMO. Last time I was in the Tempe store it was pretty drab but had still had a huge selection. Its been a year or so since i have shopped there so it could be dying as well.
I am playing keys here with this band but still we have thunderbird content. When it gets way down to the 50's here in Florida you never know what dusty clothing will emerge from way back in the closet. Long stage-coats are great because if you mingle during breaks everybody recognizes you immediately and wants to chat.
Here is my ugly baby next to it's pretty cousin. See the hole I started to dig in the mahogany. I get a little excited at times. Just waiting to get broken too. I stopped doing that.
GF comes downstairs (it's 50 degrees) and announces she is dressed ( wearing a skirt and bra ) and is ready for the gig, LOL. Knows I am trapped on stage too. What a kidder. We got that worked out. Gig Life, LOL.
