Wine Red sneakers... nice!

Snappy bass too!

 

[Engle]

Maybe you've said before and I missed it, who's pickup in this bass?

It’s an eBay Chinabucker

 

[Engle]

Including both of these; that's quite an eclectic setlist...

I, I, I, I just can’t wait.... No
We do have Saturday in the Park on the list. I’ll try to use my VP with flats for that one.

Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday! It seems like it has been a long week. No plans for the weekend are the best plans of all. I have been working on getting this bad girl back together. A work in progress to be certain, but can't get the smile off my face when I am behind the wheel. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Did someone say 'Bird...

Sweet Firebird! Do you take it to any Pontiac events?

 

[MCF]

Our Roland VR-09 has a Farfisa setting. Pretty convincing really...

Thanks @JIO. I’ll look into them. Figures that our ‘60s guru on here would know.

Cool! My Mom drove a ‘69 Pontiac station wagon all through the seventies. It was my main gear hauler as a teen. Good times.

Sweet! I used to have a red 68. Not a 400, but the previous owner had put in a Pontiac 400 with tripower and a 4 speed.

My dad had a '62 Pontiac Bonneville wagon that I hauled high-school combo gear in. I always loved the exaggerated "wide track" illustrations in their ads.

There. Fixed that for you. No need to thank me.

 

[Gaolee]

Best looking roadie -- ever

And also the least useful. There's always a tradeoff somewhere.

Looks and utility in this case are definitely mutually exclusive.

Yeah those are cool ads. The car size descriptions from the 60s are amusing now. The GTO was a small Pontiac.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

TYVM!

High five, fellow weirdo!

For the car people, here's a lap I did a long time ago at Mont Tremblant in Quebec.

 

[TBird1958]

Hitting the road for a weekend trip to the North Coast, Saturday night show in Pt. Angeles. It's a beautiful day for a drive, I'm traveling light, just two Birds - '89 Gibson and the Orville.

 

[TerribleTim68]

Have a great show! Where you playing?

I used to make trips to Port Angeles to race the stock car there. Was always fun! Too bad they tore the racetrack down.

Jim Russell's place ? Drove by on Monday, it's about 90 mins from my place. I never went there myself, but we held events there with clients.

I don't think so, at least at the time. This was very late '90s.
