From what Mike says about the age of many gigs, maybe it helps to do a lot of gigs where hearing aids are the norm.
Have mercy!
That color would look pretty cool on a Thunderbird.
Or anything really.
I'm sorry. No it doesn't.
I thought he was driving by PillO's house, who was just messing with people who drive by making them gag and heave as they think about the sign. But anything is possible I suppose.

You having a laugh? Is that where the price is for those these days? I'll stick to my hope to get a early 70s Firebird one day.

Oof! I should spend some money on my Camaro and sell it. It would pay for several '64 Thunderbirds if it went for half of that.
this one has been completely resto modded...price really ain’t bad for being a member of the holy grail trinity of muscle cars...a similar condition 70 (red/white stripes, convertible as well) went for over 120 at MECUM Houston yesterday...

New rig for this weekend. So far, so good.
I like recording and watching those. I doubt the $90 is off much if at all. Of course auctions are a different kind of animal. Barret-Jackson seems to a little more money for similar cars, or so it seems.
I'm pretty confident that's going to sound somewhere in the Amazing category!
Hell, I need to put more time in and restore the '62 Thunderbird. Convertible, Sports Roadster, 390 and a tripower carb, that'd go for a pretty penny in this market.
Out of interest, what's your Trinity?
not really “my” trinity but more of an unspoken consensus among the muscle car community that would include the 69/70 454 Chevelle SS, the 70 426 Hemi ‘Cuda and the 69 429 Boss Mustang.....myself, more of a Rambler kinda guy....

Okay, I can see those as power, but I guess for me out of the three the Cuda would probably be in there, but I'd put in the Firebird (2nd Gen, 1970), but the third slot I'd have trouble filing, I got a real soft spot for the Dodge Charger ('68-70) and the Challenger, the first gen Camaros, and the first gen GTOs with the stacked lights. I like the early mustangs but by the 429 Boss they're just so big and look kinda bloated.
And what part of the world is that?
Very accurate.That will be a good choice, but I have to say that neither of my VPs sound like the Who or Yes. I don't like the angry piano sound for my uses but go for big, thick and massive sounding with some punch and the VP does that as well. Not that Miles was implying the VP was only good for those brighter tones. He was just highlighting/contrasting what it does better than the CP. (I think I'm pretty close to being accurate on his take.) Not trying to talk you out of a CP, which is a really nice bass from all accounts, just didn't what you to think the VP only excelled in being bright sounding. When you get the CP, you have to post pics! We send "our people" out after those who don't!
