You know you are proving my point.... Once we take over Gibson, we've got to give you the wrong place and time of the design meetings.

You guys are posting pictures of your passed best friends and it's tugging at my heart. Here is mine, his name was Clipper, think American football "clipping", he passed about seven years ago and I'm still pretty crushed he isn't with me anymore.

Skylar was also Thunderbird colored

I messaged a seller last week who was selling an Epiphone Vintage Pro labeled as a "Classic Pro." I've done the same with sellers who called a "Midtown Standard" a "Midtown Signature," and vice versa. I would hope that if I did the same, someone would kindly set me straight. But if my price is wrong, and it sells...that's on me. Shame on me.

I've done a little correcting as well like that. Most of the time it's appreciated. I few times ignored.

One of my favorite views. Not a Thunderbird. Much older.

I think I need to work a little from your home!

I'm in, but not enough basses.

I’ve looked too for the NR numbers with no success. I’d like to know how rare mine is. I’ve also tried to find out how many 15s there were. Same result.

I believe I read somewhere they built 200 of those ‘13 NRs....maybe the Gibson Bass Book?..

Chuck, you've gone two sheds.

I've seen that a bunch! lol. So was this taken before it went grey or did you recently strip it dow necked?

It was grey for a long time. I stripped it and did the weight reduction a few months ago. I want to paint it with red nitro, but gotta wait for warmer temperatures, so I put tung oil on it.

I'm putting one together (Jazz body, P neck), also 2 CTS 500k volume pots. For the tone pot I bought a CTS 250k pot, also with .047 Orange Drop. What did you use for a tone pot?

This was the original order.

500k CTS Potentiometers (x3)
Sprauge .022uf capacitor (x1)
Switchcraft jack (x1)

The tone pot was 500k. I tried a ,22 capacitor but did not like the brightness.

We'll send him to the competition's design meetings.

Really sorry. Bet he was a great dog.

Ahem.

Well, part 1 of my gear change up is a go, and this old boy will be shipping out to LA this coming week. I know it's an FSO, but I really like it, and I think @RedVee might as well (if memory serves me right).

Just thought you were growing in conviction that it was IN FACT 200 made.

Maybe we should do a poll here? At least of: "I would buy," "I wouldn't buy," "Don't want another bass," etc.

I'd buy. That's why God gave us credit cards.

A few upgrades to my new Epi CP...
Swapped out the black bridge for chrome and black tuning machines for chrome Hipshot ultralites.
Next week she gets a new nut, new TI jazz flat strings, and a chrome output jack.
Debated a chrome Babicz bridge, but opted for the stock. Not a fan of the look of the Hipshot bridge...looks like it has an underbite, and is actually a tab bit too wide on a T-bird IMO.
Good one-two punch w/ my Alpine White Jackbass!
Future considerations: Chrome pup covers and professional refinish in Pelham Blue?

You need to paint the clock white.
