Don’t worry! Most diseases can’t last more than a week on strings. The main one that can last longer (up to six years) is Bubonic HIV Shingles.

I beg to differ. There are several rather nasty infectious agents that could survive intact for a week.

Yersinia Pestis (the plague)
Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (multi-drug resistant, responsible for many stubborn nosocomial infections, especially in ICU)
Hepatitis B virus (hepatitis B)
Clostridium Botulinum, Clostridium Tetani (botulism, lockjaw)

While I appreciate Japanese basses from that era, that price is ridiculous. Makes the ‘13 we were discussing almost seem reasonable.

I had seriously considered one that was $1400.

Approximately 577 miles/928 km.
I've actually been looking at a black VP, but with the way the live music biz appears to be headed, buying another bass, even a TBird, wouldn't be prudent.

There’s more than one kind of poly.

yes - quite true ... there's also "Polly want a cracker?"

And poly-unsaturated

That's sounds about right. I'd consider my Stingray just about polar opposite to my Thunderbirds in sound and feel. I can see where if he liked the Stingray sound he may not find the thunderbird as much to his liking.

well...unfortunately for him, the T-Bird looks a thousand times better AND is lighter...from his comments, sounds like active electronics played a big part..

Well, well. The black VP I was looking at sold within the past 1/2 hour. Delivered me from temptation.

Beautiful plumage, the Norwegian blue...

The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.

The Stoned Dead would be a great band name.

because you bought it and it’s on it’s way?

 

[GonePlaid]

Uhhh, no.
