LOL - with my translation skills I'd have the super powers in a world war in no time.

Those strings look neat, but I bet it's gonna be difficult to bring them up to pitch without any bolts holding the bridge in place.

Not sure if this link will work but some more Thunderbird action from the late 80s with Vain. Saw these last year and still a great band.

Nice! I love that stuff, I know '80s-'90s "Hair Metal" isn't everyone's idea of great stuff - I'm weak for it.
Since Bryan mentioned LA Guns here they're on the steps of some municipal building in Denver.
it’s what the T’bird was made for! Just looks sooo right in that setting. Was meant to be seeing LA Guns this weekend but for some reason it got cancelled
I think that was specific to a period of Rickenbacker using really soft fret wire.
It's kinda 'funny'. I play big band, 60s-70s rock and country, and (whatever). This is the stuff I listen to on SiriusXM. Just not a lot of call for an overweight, 75 y/o (gray)hair metal bass man in this neck o' the woods.
Some how I just knew I could count on you. Sixteen is enough.....for right now.
Maybe.
Well, probably not......
There are 2 low priced Epi EB-0's on Reverb(not mine). 1 red, 1 black,
Wow! Just sold my roughest old set of TIs for $25 over in the classifieds in less than an hour. Had four people lined up. They weren't used up by any means considering they can last over a decade easily, but the silks were pretty rough from being tried on several basses. I need to let go of another used set. At a higher price! I've got a bunch of D'As that I've never had sound good on anything, but seem to come on most everything.

That's the newest, state-of-the-art, high-tech "floating bridge" design, designed to permanently resolve all issues associated with bridge inserts that rudely won't stay where they should.
LOL - plus it has the added benefit of stress reduction on the headstock, which is prone to launch off the neck at the slightest provocation.That's the newest, state-of-the-art, high-tech "floating bridge" design, designed to permanently resolve all issues associated with bridge inserts that rudely won't stay where they should.
Seriously, the white bass with neon strings would be way cool on stage under black lighting. Some matching fingernail polish, lipstick and hair dye would make for an awesome stage presence.
Angus can wear whatever he wants. Freakin' legend. He's an institution.

I see red doesn't work for her either!
That he is!
I remember seeing AC/DC live for the first time in the mid 1970's. In the States they weren't very well known at the time. They were a warm up band at one of the Oakland Day on the Green concerts.
I LMFAO when Angus did his signature duck scoot across the stage in his little school boy outfit. Love a lot of their songs. With the help of a friend of a friend in the music biz I managed to get a guitar signed off by the band.
