I can't believe PillO missed this one. AHEM.
will never completely understand the phenomenon of T-Bird optical illusions……seems like you move the lens 1/4” and all dimensional bets are off…..pretty bizarre….
That’s the Bob Ross of basses - sometimes ya really gotta fight the urge to add one more happy little tree in the middle of your masterpiece.

I don't have a newer Epi case. Oh, well.
A tort warning was the least of the warnings needed.
I personally don’t find bathroom scales to be any more or less accurate than scales I do anywhere else in the house. Major, minor and pentatonic scales sound about the same to me regardless of where I play them.
Digital scales tend to work well. But getting a Thunderbird on some would be tricky.
*This is not mine. Didn't have them decades ago when I was an undocumented pharmacist.
Can't imagine why you'd say that....don’t get tired of posting this but if I could only have ONE bass and it could be ANY bass it would hands down be this…

I would prefer one with both PUs, but I wouldn't be picky.
I've done some fretwork on one of these for a guy i had met during my time working in my local music shop. Cool dude, very talkative & big personality, but down to earth & has a kick ass arsenal of gear.
Tort warning, but this one looks more reasonable colour scheme wise.
^^^You might think the balance is off due to where the bottom pin is, but surprisingly it isn't. It's a loud bass, sounds cool. & no, that's not an optical illusion/picture angle, the last fret is positioned mid way of a traditional fret spacing.
^^^during fretwork, closer top down view of the fretboard end.
Wouldn't be something i'd own/rock with. But that guy loves this bass (amongst all his others xD)

Maybe more than you expect. Don't tempt fate!
Adult beverages it seems.
Rightly and well said!That’s the Bob Ross of basses - sometimes ya really gotta fight the urge to add one more happy little tree in the middle of your masterpiece.
Even sounds good with no sound.
There is a picture of me at that statue with my finger up Steinbeck's nose.
My high school English teachers would be happy I recall who Steinbeck is and horrified that I stuck my finger up his nose. I call that win-win!
