Yep, it's really happening! Now to explain it to the wife.

Order three so that you can be extremely reasonable by offering to return one...

 

[PillO]

What color are you getting?

Inverness Green. Probably the most rarely offered colour and I have no green basses (yet).

 

[PillO]

Just looked at my invoice and all is in order. But man, California Sales Tax is through the roof.

Isn't it off-set by the high income tax?

I wonder whatever became of the rumored Epiphone NR, or the Rex Brown Thunderbirds he teased about last year.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I don't remember now, and using the search function is forbidden around here. What case fits a VP? The Epi case appears to fit fairly well if you don't mind the headstock being a big jammed. Maybe that's what I'll end up getting for it. Are there other reasonable choices? It rains enough here and it will ride in the back of a van enough that I want a hard case, not a gig bag.

Mine fits the Gibson case without being too tight.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

See, at my house I'm the wife and I had to explain it to my hubby............ He couldn't say no as he already has 4 guitars of his own.

Yeah, but you have 40 basses!

Good news. I already have three Gibson cases. They have 'Birds in them, but that just means moving things around a little.

 

[Gaolee]

He needs 41.

…but look on the bright side,
With all those state tax dollars CA has some of the best infrastructure and most reliable utilities.

 

[dagrev]

Did someone say Anvil!?

I did that to myself. That makes it worse.

 

[dagrev]

That's the one I use for mine

Iirc, the VP doesn't fit in the older, square, Epiphone cases?

I have an older case like that and it is a little snug length wise. Rubs some but will go.

 

[dagrev]

Thanks all for the bday wishes! No rest for the wicked off to rehearsal!

Trying to catch up... But happy birthday. It was a good day for all of us!

You know that was an open door for some of PillO's sage relationship advice?

As I kept reading I see he did not disappoint.

On the bright side, it's for a good cause and is always spent wisely!

OK, there is no rational justification. You're just screwed. But you'll have a great bass.

I see George sees it the same way.

 

[PillO]

Ahem!

Not sage relationship advice. Bad relationship advice!

 

[dagrev]

Ahem!

That was actually a much improved version. Really tired from the last day of my FIL being in palliative care and all that follows and what I first wrote sounded like a line from a cheesy porno movie. Well, only from what I've heard, they are all cheesy and have somewhat the same story line. Again, from what I've heard.

Depends on the ultimate objective.

I come here for entertainment. If I only amuse myself (ahem) so be it, but if I can entertain others along the way perhaps I have done a small public service.

Only cheesy because the plot involves a pizza for which the recipient has insufficient funds...

Allegedly?
