Yeah, that's the live version played by the only one Jerry Scheff! (I tried to do my best reggarding playing and tonewise. The only other version that I found of this track is played by some dude but it wasn't this one).

Our group's last gig was a St. Patrick's day dinner/dance on 3/14. We have our first gig back on 6/13. I'm asking for assistance from the club in reminding me what those steel cable-like things that are on my.....uh, THUNDERBIRD are for. Wait. They make noise!?...how?....through an amplifier?? Wuzzat?

You'll be ok brother.
Congrats! No surprise there! I have yet to hear somebody say they don't sound good.
I put some GHS Percision flats on the Gibson Thunderbird last night. Sounds like I'm going in the opposite direction I know, but it actually seem to thicken the sound up and make it more full and thick, at least at home. May turn to mud when I use it next weekend, so the experiment continues.
I did email my sales rep at Sweetwater to see if they happen to have any ProBuckers from a damaged instrument. Told him my situation and just wondered if they happen to have anything like that from time to time. He said is an instrument is badly damaged it normally it does get sent back, but he will look around and also check with the ebay dept as they sometimes sell all the parts, and have them keep an eye out for a set as well. He said they were still working for Home so he doesn't really have access to the physical building.

If it is, Happy Birthday; if it isn't, a very merry unbirthday.
I believe today is the day.
I wouldn't spread such a vicious rumor if i didn't read it elsewhere.

What kind of a person would steal 760 Probuckers out of a perfectly good instrument and put them in another project..
Best wishes then to dukeorock! May it be a good one!
What kind of person? My kind of person! That looks fantastic. And I know for a fact that it sounds fantastic.What kind of a person would steal 760 Probuckers out of a perfectly good instrument and put them in another project..

I use the GHS Precision flats and like them a lot. They are on the 'stiff' side but I prefer the tautness for articulation. Some basses (necks) can be stressed by the extra tension but I've not had any issues with them having ill effect on any neck I have them on.

Well, Happy Birthday @dukeorock. I’ll help celebrate by listening to your new album and toss in some Eskimo and older Shack Shakers. Here’s to many more productive years!

It looks interesting, but the pic's size is actually a 'thumbnail' ...
Yeah, I couldn't copy the larger pic and when I try to post the link it sends me to the 'home page', which has all kinds of non-bass related [stuff].
What's the problem with the 2013 reissues? Price?
That, as I've been informed I might not like the neck, and availability. I don't really need one, but I'd kinda like to semi-retire the '67 before the headstock ejects-again.
