We are retired.

You say that, but many of you keep coming out of retirement...

there is a photo as it happens but I haven’t seen it for years. I didn’t manage to get the exact T-shirt, but I looked around and found one that was suitably ugly.

With apologies to those eating.
From our 2008 work party, I have chopped out the other people.

Who thinks like that? Some kind of childhood trauma no doubt. If tort were never invented the world would be a better place.

I have a white '62 Jazz that it looks decent on--but other things would look better IMO. It's old and original and it's staying as is.

I like torts matched with bursts. I remember a killer green burst/tort guitar in a catalog I drooled over but as a teen could not afford.

You need to convert that to fathoms for the USAians… Or is it furlongs?

42mm is easy. It’s Isaac Newton’s big toe.

Ha! That was me with a Ric! Never ever felt right. Seemed to fight with it every time. It's long gone. One of the best trades I ever made.

I enjoy and get along with T birds AND Rics.

And the Ultimate Answer.

It is a strange decision. 'Yeah all the ppl who want an ebony finish bass will be dying to have a cream pickup.'

I'm not convinced any of the alternatives -- vinyl wrap, tape, paint -- are durable enough, so I'll live with it.

I think a tort JC with a white pickguard may be what you REALLY want.

What about Plasti-dip. It peels off if you don't like it, and it seems to work fine on automobile bumpers.

Not a fan of spray application. Logistically it would be a real pain in the quoit.

Snapped a few pics while setting up Saturday afternoon. I really enjoy playing at the fish camp. Stage overlooks the water and I was lucky cuz when I screwed up there happened to be some airboats heading in.

Thanks Kat, I'll see if my vinyl wrap guy can do something with that.

Yep. Thanks Kat, I try something similar. Just have to find the vinyl wrap guy

...or you wait for Veronica and get a couple sent over if they come out well.

It's nice to put a face behind the emoji ... er.., if you follow me... (I mean that in a good way!)

Scan of my TRC - the colour didn't come out great on the office multifunction scan, print, teasmade thingummy, but it should be enough to get a vinyl decal made.

Yeah, them's 'll drown out anything.

It's a Florida thing right? It would probably provide a good backdrop for playing Helter Skelter...

Airboats used to be powered by opposed 6 cylinder aircraft engines. Newer ones use small block chevy V8s or ?.
"Mufflers? We don't need no stinkin' mufflers".
And yes.

What a great song!

Drummer seems a bit paranoid, but another awesome song - very Phil Spector with a great bass-line (Scott Walker was a bass-player)
