I wish the purple 8 was mine. No such luck yet, just a screen shot from the interwebs.

I heard Jeff wiped out the lotion supply at 3 local drug stores. Of course that might just be one of those exaggerated news stories.
Well, I guess he has things well in hand then.

Jeff, Shake it up baby and say hi to the boyz for me.:roflmao:

...and now you'll never be able to hear that song again without an odd mental image.

Okay, I've decided to end my silly, self-imposed exile. I guess I have been in such a funk over everything happening that I lost sight of a simple fact: isolating myself even more than I already am is just plain dumb. This is a tremendous group of people and why turn my back on that. :smug:
Oh, and THUNDERBIRD
:woot:It's about damn time you came to your senses! Now, your penance will be the acquisition of another thunderbird this calendar year. :thumbsup:

The purple six string is flat out great looking.
So is the purple 8 string! I wish it were mine.

Hey, watcha got there George? That purple beast.
Unfortunately all I got is a screen shot of somebody else's bird.:rollno:
Tried to edit my post to mention it wasn't mine but the edit feature timed out. I guess my only face saving option at this point is to track down the owner and buy it from them. ;)
Anybody got a lead on the owner?

Dude! Take off your shoes and try again (I assume you have the standard number of toes on each foot)...
I think he took off one shoe for the count, must be from that Florida Keys area with the six toe cats...

Dude - just to be fair, you know the next time you play a Fender bass you'll have to run it through one of these...

BTW - am I the only fool in this club that actually runs his/her Gibson bass through a Gibson amp (updated to Thunderfunk, but essentially the same)...

That Bird looks surrounded - 'what the Fender?'
Another moment of seriosity(2 in one day!). The 7ender amps give me 60s/70s Jamerson tone I'm trying to achieve w/o breaking my back or my bank account. The Rumble amps have an o/d circuit-I don't use o/d-that works as 'mute' if both knobs are at 7 o'clock-off.
 
Yeah, I'm not having people over.

Here's a quote from Mark (Dukeorock's) FB feed

I’m giving up drinking for a month.
Sorry, bad punctuation.
I’m giving up. Drinking for a month.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy... :wacky:
