Thanks! 
My good friend Konstantine is from Moscow. He just got his American citizenship about three years ago. He's a musician (guitarist/composer) and if I can find it, has a B&W vid on YouTube from the late '80s of him playing live - it's awesome. Very Joy Division/dark. He relayed stories about avoiding conscription by faking mental issues and being sent to an institution instead of the military. I recall him once saying - never trust a Russian.
Here's one of his songs that I played bass on - the middle section is a little long - it was meant to have solo/overdubs yet to be added.
Nice!
Here is another new tune.

stripped her down and the pinstriper just drove off with her... $150 minimum budget and colors and style at his discretion... I even let him decide if she retains the pickguard...
I told him I like gold and silver leaf, and tigersharks and all kinds of stuff.
I get her back Friday...
This soooo rocks it!!! Nice work here.
I think it looks better on the edge, but that can cause some issues when sitting on the couch or just standing it up if I don't have a right angle jack. I'm torn and always have been. But I'm not Rip Torn.
You're welcome. Mike Knox (the genius behind Life Savers Underground) is da bomb. (sic) I love this album in particular.
I second that motion.
All in favor of Miles buying both, say Thunderbird!
Motion carried.
Meeting adjourned.
Post pics soon, Miles.
A fave.
So many songs of the past 60 years seem to be converging with today. And yet, I am full of hope!
I snapped up a used Goth Thunderbird IV for $200. 2016. Pretty much mint shape. Going to throw on some hip shot clover tuners and eventually upgrade to EMG TB pickups. Almost got a Vintage Pro but the Goth in my opinion is the better of them both. For one a maple neck with Rosewood board compared to Mahogany/Walnut neck w/rosewood board. Prefer the satin black finish too. Both use mahogany for the body tho.
I've always liked the idea of it being on the end, out of my way... but I make my own cords the right angle jacks I've used all pretty well sucked for various reasons. The VP has me to the point I'll just buy one. (I broke down and bought a set of short cords w RA jacks for my pedalboard, so I got past the first hurdle.)

Another winner.
Fine. I won't trust your Russian friend. Can I trust his music? I think yes.
Yeah, I'll do that. Starting with the used one. We'll see if he takes a lowball offer.
I meant to tell you I really liked this one, too! I started to creep you on Spotify, but that's the one gaping hole in Fedora right now. None of the apps that purport to handle Spotify seem to work. I need to remember to look on my phone.
