No, just no.

Great, now I will have to wade out into Gen Pop to see how this is the most terrible thing that Gibson could do...

I'm sure someone has already whined:
It's not enough...
It's long overdue...
It's just overstock junk...
It's instruments no one wants...
Basically a hidden self-exalting way of saying: I would do so much more if I were them (but are actually not doing anything with what they do have). The same kind of people who just love to give away other people's money.

 

[Glenn Johnson]

I like it. Good on them.

I have to contact Gibson immediately. I happened to be in Tennessee on that day and lost a bass. What day was that, anyone?
Seriously though, I hope no one was injured or lost their life(ves).

Ha! I’ll hit you up for a beer if I ever get there. I found an address for her at her birth. Not that nice looking area... very industrial. But I’m told more Hull FC than KR.
My other English migrant ancestors (3 total), one from Manchester (sentenced at Salford), so both sides of the War of the Roses) or just a chip on both shoulders ; and Hammersmith.

Lol... my Sicilian ancestors were given a deal they couldn’t refuse..

I too have a hard time complaining about charitable acts like this.

That's because you (and MCF, whom you were echoing) are not small people.

 

[Glenn Johnson]

Sounds like a good idea. But it is so hard to find a backward bass...

Dedicated bass players would adapt and play with their feet and toes. I don't but sound like I do. Get well soon!

Unfortunately several did die. Well over 20 last I heard, with several still missing.

I’ll take the earthquake risk we have over the fires here (and elsewhere) and the tornadoes, hurricanes and blizzards some of you have to worry about. Scary stuff.

yeah but notice the Fullerton brand doesn't do that for CA victims..

Also central Texas, but on random days, randomize the numbers.

If I don't try the things I'm not supposed to, how do I know why I shouldn't do them?

yep

I’ve lived through a tornado. Scary stuff, indeed.

Either 24 or 27 dead, I forget. Brutal tornado.

WELCOME TO

PACIFICA CA (OP coast)

Winter is in the summer (fog/cold/damp)
Spring is nice, but short
Summer is inland/over the hill
Fall is nice, but short

fashion tip - (wait.., you think Pacifica is fashionable???) ...a wet suit?

 

[Engle]

Coulda sworn it looked a wee bit shorter. My bad.

Almost every bass looks shorter beside a Vintage Pro. The headstock on that one is also a little shorter than a Gibson.

The two times I was in Florida, the weather was exactly like Vancouver’s.

Yes indeed. Here in East Central Florida we get relatively mild ones... sometimes they are embedded in tropical storms. I recall when Jeanne came through we made it to the last few hours OK as the eye passed just South of here. I stepped outside to see this tiny tornado spinning out of a cloud and it touches down right on our free-standing shed and destroys it. I ran out in two feet of water and saved many tools.

Almost every bass...

I saw a lefty LP Junior bass in L&M yesterday. Only $1300!

We've had a few quakes, being close to the Madrid Fault. Nothing really big, just some damage to a few structures. But they tell us one day it's going to be a big one.

I've been near tornadoes but not experienced any damage from one. Like quakes, they are quick, and then it's over. Generally sunny shortly afterwards. I have experienced flooding. I found it to be a long, drawn out affair. You generally know it's coming, but can't really do anything other than head for higher ground--maybe. You wait and agonizingly watch the water slowly rise over several hours (generally), knowing what's going to happen. Then when it does, the water is in your house and neighborhood for at least hours, often days. Then you can begin clean up. And everything has to be cleaned or thrown out. The weather doesn't do that for you. It's nasty and starting over doesn't mean starting over with a dozer, but picking through just about everything you own to clean or throw out. It's exhausting (as all such events are); and the flooding we experienced was bad my many standards and not in the main level of the house.
