I can’t believe how expensive these things are getting. Seems like just a couple of years ago you’d be able to catch one like this for a bit over $2000, apparently not anymore.

There's a shop around here somewhere that is advertising a Nikki Sixx Thunderbird. It's a 2001 Gibson, and they are asking $3200 for it. I'm completely out of the market now. For that price or maybe less, you could have gotten a 1960s 'Bird about ten years ago. Oh, well.

You almost cracked a smile there. But you caught it in time. Nicely done.

Not my favorite song by any stretch but you guys pulled it off nicely. I noticed a lot of thumb work on your part Chuck, my arthritis wouldn’t allow that for very long. Don’t recall seeing that bar, is it in Aptos?

I'll go with @dagrev , that rig sounds so good ! I like that band's line-up, can cover lots of ground.

Merci mon Frere! VERY versatile, 5 piece with 4 solo singers, the girl plays keyboards as well and the keyboardist plays guitar as well……very large repertoire…..

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

That Ashdown sounds great! I notice it keeps showing up at gigs!

Thx Donnie!….yeah the JBass hindered the full potential of the rig…

Love me some Mac! Bass came through really nicely! JMHO, love your sound and style, of the two basses you played at that gig the P bass was by far my favorite. Some day you gotta do a gig with that P and your Greco. Now that would be music to my ears.

Dropper the T-Pro at a local luthier for a good set-up and took a pic under better lighting.
Trans Black = Dark Chocolate ?

Most I've seen have a kind of purple-ish tint to the color, yours looks much better!
Imo.

That's a fun song to play when the bass line is moving.

Thx ! Mine's a 2011, so maybe that has something to to with it, like different color mixes/tints or ageing, if that's remotely possible (I'm so outta my comfort zone here)

No, but the hand he slaps you with will be!

No, but you can just flip them around.
