I came close to a couple of mistakes. At least one would have been an ex pretty quickly as it turns out. Instead, wife #1 is a keeper!
Your dying flowers stink.
They smell like rotten ink.
From a poison pen
so I wrote on your head.
I knew I should have worded that differently. Made it sound like stocks go up and no one "plays" with stocks. Read an interesting article the other day that millinnial's sitting at home playing day traders are causing some of the volatility in the market, despite the fact that the average day trader ends up with below average return for all that activity. Everyone's mileage will vary. So play with your Thunderbird, not your stocks.
<Ahem>
FWIW I had to wait 4/5 years for Gibson to run Lefty's again in 2018 and during that time I only found 1 that was up in Canada somewhere on some bogus site which I decided to pass on lol.
I paid like 2kish for mine & that was new of course SO $1500 doesn't seem that bad all things considering. I would DEFINITELY put them in the "Hens Teeth" Category, If I had the extra scratch, I'd snatch that one up in a heartbeat especially if it was a solid color which is what I ordered in the first place but had to settle the ole vintage burst since red was an option but unavailable..

There has been some opportunity cost, but those may not have ended as well anyway.
Always liked Craig's work with The Sisters of Mercy and The Mission.
$1500 to $2000 sounds like a good/reasonable deal on a lefty. $3200 is a different story.
Still TT for a few minutes here, late night jammin'
Can't not smile when playing your favorite Thunderbird!

Hope you enjoy it. Another lesser-known Cult album I think is great is Beyond Good and Evil.

Gibson made an 8 string NR?!!!!
Yeah, who knew. Certainly don't ever recall seeing one. The libraries and Talkbass are full of things you don't know!
We just celebrated our 36th on the 30th.

I'll take it that neither of my Thunderbird brothers owns a copy of The Gibson Bass Book, it is described therein and there's a picture of this very bass, it's a lovingly made fake.
It wasn’t for lack of trying. You all beat me to it and the last round was sold out in the blink of an eye. Oh well. We can always ask here.
No, unfortunately no The Gibson Bass Book here. I can only humbly ask your indulgence! Should I be consigned to play a Jazz Bass for penance? For a while, I'm not playing on forever! That ain't happening!
