Haven’t heard anything, but yeah the red or blue that the JCs come in would be great eh?

Looking and sounding great!
Love it! But when did the Scorpions cover the Kinks? That one slipped right past me.
And I must say... we sure did luck out buying our Grecos before they were well known. I wondered if I'd paid too much and it was well below what they're going for these days!
One more this I forgot to mention, I agree with your review and description 100%.

No. Just a stupid little riff we'd put in at the least appropriate times. The crowd didn't notice(AFAIK), but it helped keep us from going nuts(er)."trickle down?"

oh.., I thought, "raindrops keep falling on my head" and '80s Ronald Regan "trickled on" economics... never mind...
No. Gig was 75-80. It's kinda hard to explain typing, but...Let's assume we did it in F.* At the end of many, but not all, phrases we would randomly play C-C#-D-C#-C(dat-da-dat-da-dat in unison)just for S&G. Stupid, silly, etc. But so was the song.oh.., I thought, "raindrops keep falling on my head" and '80s Ronald Regan "trickled on" economics... never mind...
* I don't remember and I'm too lazy to go through our tapes to check WT7 key we did it.

Welll... we did the jazz/blues/rock gig tonight. Last time we had a whopping 2 customers(ppl don't go out Thursdays-all the clubs do crappy). I guessed we'd have 5 tonight. Missed it by 4[no, it wasn't 9]. Owner is cancelling Thursday night live music for now. Our 'tseason' just ended anyway. Oh, well, back to watching hockey on Thursday nights. <This is not a bad thing.

George, It was you that put me onto Greco way back in the Dudepit - what a place that was! The Scorps/Kinks cover is from "ComeBlack" 2011, which has some remakes of their own songs and they even do "Ruby Tuesday" from the Stones.
Dig that new Fernandes too! Mockingbirds are so cool!
If nothing else, the Dudepit introduced me to some of the coolest guys (and gal) that I've ever known. Been hell on my pocketbook over the years though!

I put a ToneStyler Duo 6 in it and sound is Great, It dives very little, the neck feels Awesome and I don't mind the weight. I am glad I bought it when I bought my first bass I was checking to see what people were saying about Tbirds it made me wonder why people bought them I also bought a EB4 and it too is a great bass, maybe people just like what is played on most records up till the 90's, I'm not saying that other basses don't sound good most basses do, but I am Damn glad I did...
Nice, thx for posting! The styling of those Alembics just cannot get better...

Thx to a tip from @Nocturnal, found a white TRC and it came in this morning and drew the logo with a gold marker (still on the fence for that part). Put the PG back on as well. opefully, her Hipshot XTender should come in today.
That’s sweet! I wonder what the neck is like?
I’m going to experiment with making a clear TRC and painting a logo on the back of it. I’ve got a couple of basses that could use something on the TRC.
I pretended to like them when I was chasing girls. I played a really good Close to You and a passable We’ve Only Just Begun on the piano back then.
