Not helping. Where is that unfriend button on this darn thing?

Well, I have thought when my Mother passes away the basement can be used as one big jam room. A tad callous I guess.

Is she deaf? If not, does she like music? Either way, what are you waiting for?

I'd hit it, price is kinda high but there are only so many of them, hopefully the seller is reasonable.

And you have the market cornered. It's a surprise this one isn't already yours.

Happy Thursday.......This is 12 years ago, just about the end of the night. I seriously doubt that I could play a whole evening with that belt made of .303's today!

I grabbed the black refin right before the crap hit the fan, while we are doing ok I am watching how I spend my money, a 4k bass at the moment doesn't seem prudent.

Nope, it doesn't. My comment was in jest, well maybe half in jest. Besides, that one doesn't need resurrection from matchsticks, which is your specialty.

the bass player is having a hard time remembering the last set...​

I wish I had your problems. You’re a lucky man Chucky.

I’m rooting for @D.M.N. to win it. He deserves it and it’ll have a good home.

I hope he gets it as well.

Has perfect hearing and not a fan of most music. So it'll have to wait.

Ahhh. Bummer.

...
12th fret to centerline of neck pup on my dual pup birds:
Gibson 2015 TBird ............. 10 1/4"
Gibson Anniversary TBird .... 10 1/8"
Epiphone Goth TBird ............10 3/4"
Epiphone VP TBird .............. 11"
Spector Rex 5 Pro ................12 1/2" (note, this is a 35" scale bass)

12th fret to centerline of pup on my single pup birds:
Greco TBird ......................... 10 7/8" (note this is a 33" scale bass)
BaCH Non Reverse TBird ....... 10 3/4"

Mine:
Epiphone Bolt-on TBird ........10 3/4"
Epiphone CP TBird .............. 10 1/8"
Epiphone VP TBird .............. 11"

The BO and VP match yours, which I expected.

I measured the CP multiple times. I just realized it's the same as your Anniversary bird.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Yeah, that was my first reaction - not a Strat, and not a Gibson, That is his modified Kramer explorer...

But EVH was big on modifying his guitars. I fully expect that it was done by EVH as a joke.

You should try! I love that belt!

Kramer? Isn't he holding the modified Ibanez Destroyer?

Just blast some Paranoid. When I did that as a kid, my Dad went bonkers.

Thanks for posting. I'm not sure what drives the Gibson/Epiphone decision process on pup placement but it does have a certain randomness appearance to it.

I'm no Luthier, but I've built a few basses and to be honest I haven't really found a massive difference in the sound of pup placement within an inch or so (more than that, yes, but less, not so much). I find significantly more variability in sound from right hand placement (strumming not fretting hand).

Thunderbird Thursday, new amp edition.

That's what I was thinking as well. I think this might have still been the metal-necked era for Kramer's.

No, I'm talking about the guitar with the Fender headstock but Gibson logo on it.
