I like the humour, but not actually true. China drive on the right like you do.

Oh. Well, when I was in HK in 67 they were on the left.

...and you're both correct - China utilizes left hand drive cars and drives on the Right side of the road and Hong Kong utilizes right hand drive cars and drives on the left side of the road.

Correct. They have that weird, but cool, cross under bridge between them to funnel vehicles to the location correct side

I get that. Not much of a fan either. Although I came to like him when he appeared periodically in our long running TV show here, Bones. Billy Gibbons also Played a character on that show from time to time.

Ok, we have it but I’ve never watched it. No time between the various CSI’s & NCIS’s. :D

I should give it a try.

View attachment 3969508 Getting settled into our new house. I have some of my basses here, and some at a friend’s house in our old town. But I have all my amps and cabinets! And I just installed covers on my Epiphone VP so it’s kind of like the ‘64 I could have bought in ‘82 for $400... D’oh!!!!!!

I feel sorry for any potential used Gibson TBird buyers out there right now. The prices are creeping up pretty high. Seems like just a year or two ago you could take your pick of several in the $1200 bracket and occasionally even see some go up for sale in the sub $1000 bracket.

- The cheapest Gibby Bird for sale on Reverb located in the USA right now is listed at nearly $1700 with shipping.

- Guitar center doesn't even have any used Gibby TBirds in stock, they used to always have several to choose from.

- Even eBay is getting tight, with only one used one priced at about $1600.

- I didn't look at Sam Ash, MusicGoRound, Gbase, Talkbass or Craigslist but I suspect it's slim pickings there as well.

Yep, other than that one that was way underpriced on here in Boston a few weeks back, they’re getting steep and scarce. And used Epi bolt-ons are no longer the price leader once you add in the $100+ everyone seems to want for shipping. The game is changing, at least for now.

I really don't have a favorite, I love them all and really enjoy the individual differences.
