I use picks primarily, too. I can do fingers, but not well, and don't really care for it. I can do everything I need with picks
My current un-lost ones (how they completely disappear in 600 sq. ft. I haven't quite figured out yet...
)

Where do picks go? One of life's mysteries. When we cleared out my parents estate I found a cache of picks in and under the cloths dryer, even my polished stone Mind Pick that went missing in my teens. Totally useless for bass, I've been meaning to get a hole drilled in it so I can wear it.I use picks primarily, too. I can do fingers, but not well, and don't really care for it.

I usually have two of the red Jim Dunlops out, one in my "practice area" and one on my work bench. A few weeks ago, I was using one of them, went to another room for something (pretty sure I had it in my hand) & came back - and it was gone. Hasn't been seen since
Yeah, the Goth is really much better than the price indicates. Well IMO anyway.
I’ve contemplated all sorts of things for mine but really I just like it as is. If I do anything maybe a belly cut but no hurry.
In that regard, it's a perfect fit with my other basses - Peavey Cirrus BXP & Dean Paramount.

This is insane...
You guys know what, I'll probably end up white-taping the one I have and hand-draw a gold Epi logo on it.

I think I need to go into the Thunderbird Truss Rod Cover business. I never realized that there was that much money in it.
I just need the pickups. Still can’t recall what they are, tho.
Not a chance that any are being bought at that price. zero-point-zero.I think I need to go into the Thunderbird Truss Rod Cover business. I never realized that there was that much money in it.
And now I am exiting the Thunderbird TRC business.

Picks and socks. There is no answer.I usually have two of the red Jim Dunlops out, one in my "practice area" and one on my work bench. A few weeks ago, I was using one of them, went to another room for something (pretty sure I had it in my hand) & came back - and it was gone. Hasn't been seen since
That’s the stuff I use. Works great.
Ironic that two of the Ric players installed Thunderbird or EB0 pickups.
At least they picked Suzi for one of the Gibson brand ambassadors.
He raised his prices. They used to be $800 something. Contact him. I’ve heard he will sell them for realistic prices, but have no personal knowledge of that.
Well at least they mention Suzi Q.
Al Kooper was genius but an odd duck. Would love to have been able to pick his brain during those sessions.
Including why the heck he thought Simple Man was a weak song.
