how did that sound/play?
I'd love any of his basses, even his '62 Jazz. Maybe we could pool our resources and then share custody! OK reality check--maybe we could afford one of his old strings.
Correct! Not sure how many Leon had or if it was just the one. If I ever knew about more...I don't now due to fewer grey cells.
Cool. Would have had to been pre mid 70s.

It was actually a pretty nice bass, obviously made in the same factory as Greco, but with a bolt on neck and Maxson pickups, the thing was though, the Greco just creamed it by comparison. There's a TBer from Brazil that is totally into Lawsuit basses and he asked me about selling it and I let it go to him, he was grateful to get it and I honestly haven't missed it.
IDK. Looks like a Subaru you no longer own.
Funny one note story. I was doing some work in a studio a long time ago and there was one part of the song that required a D in an somewhat odd place after a playback. When they wanted to add it I did it fine. Then they said now the tape is rolling. It took I don't know how many takes to get that one note in. The more I tried the weirder it seem to get. With everybody standing in the control room on the other side of the glass watching, waiting for me to play this one note. I think if everybody would've left I would've done it again the first time!When you have one note to hit you better get it right
Same 'Bird, different PG's:[note 'handrest' position corrected in 2nd pic.]
EDIT: Note also, lack of 'tug bar' on new PG. Carefully saved along with original PG.

No new pics for this Thunderbird Thursday, 
but I just made the payment for a new-notreallybuttomeitis T-bird. 
Should have it for next week's TT!
(now I just have to land one of these fish that's interested in my extra/twin Epiphone bolt-on......)

Quite the opposite, I drove that car into work today, it's celebrating being 22 years old this year, 262,000 miles - it's old, kinda ugly, slow and a brick $%#@&^*!@ of a car - I love it!
Way back when I first got into online bass forums I would hang out at "The Dudepit" (I know, sounds gay) and that's where I first met Scott @godofthunder59 , George @69Vette and of course Uwe Hornung. As I learned how to post pics I decided to always include the Subie in the shots as a bit of trademark, kind of like a builder's photo, there were many photos over the years and it got to be a silly fun thing. Sadly, almost all of those photos were lost into the mess that PhotoBucket became and I can't retrieve them easily. About 5-6 years ago Uwe and his wife vacationed on the west coast and spent 3 days here in Seattle, we had a couple dinners and he visited the house as well, at one point after a dinner we took a shot standing in front of the old Subie and he said" I can't believe I'm standing next to your famous car" which just made me bust laughing.
Happy Thursday and onward to better days!
This is out on Washington's west coast at Kalaloch.
I love the color variety!
It's a shame Gibson/Epiphone don't offer a comparable selection from the factory
Happy TT!
Only pic I have. I'll get some better shots this weekend, but who knows how long it will be until I can get a gig shot of it...

LOL - I had to read that word smash up about a half dozen times before I got it. I kept seeing "new - not really butt omeitis". Scratching my head and thinking what the heck is "Butt Omeitis"? Sounds like a nasty medical condition and just too much information for a public forum. Then I had my coffee and realized it's "but to me it is". Thanks for the morning laugh Kara.No new pics for this Thunderbird Thursday,
Should have it for next week's TT!
