….meanwhile a Schroeder 12PL custom green has landed from Italy …. no more schlep… 600 watts, 15 kg… should fit for a Subaru Forester …
Here’s some simple construction that really delivers…Curious why most Les Pauls seem to be more than that.
(revised after looking at Gibson's site)

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a lefty one before, but every bass collection should include a Dano, hard to beat the price.
I had a lefty DC Bass. It was fun. I liked that it weighed nothing and got to appreciate narrow string spacing from it, but the Carvin didn't weigh a lot more and was a lot more bass. Then came the Thunderbird. Same weight and another level still. I don't keep stuff around if I'm not gonna use it. So I sold the Danelectro. It was fun, but I don't miss it. It's the bass I used the one time I played at CBGB, so that's cool.

Whole lotta green representing a whole lotta green
I count 7...Hmm. 6 different greens there.
I am a member of the most exclusive club on talk bass...Well, rub it in why don't you?
4 'birds, 1 Subaru, 1 can Comet, 1 bottle of something beside the Comet.Missed one.
I'm just encouraged by y'all's advancements in math.
All beautiful, but man that 7-Up style green second from the left takes the cake for me.
There were some advanced mathings few pages back* using vectors and pulling force on studs (ahem).
* standard thunderbird club disclaimer meaning somewhere in the previous 4000 pages.
I lust after the Jackson bird. If the Queen were to bequeath it to me in her will, she might have to fear for her life...

Thank you, Mike Lull painted that '76, it was a chowdered POS when I bought it, was missing a pickup!

Thunderbird Thursday, the basses without cases room, the '77 does have a case but I've been giving it some love lately.

While I'm at the EB rack in the basses without cases room, there are more.
