Always leave 'em wanting more. No failure.

That's in case that they would want it ofc. :roflmao:


Indeedmn!

We’re happy with a sustainable schedule.
Killer as always!

It's just an erratic schedule these days haha.

Awesome! Looks like a real workout. :thumbsup:

Thanks, maybe more like a little practice but is a hell of a tune indeed!

I assume that removal of the pickguard lets you play faster... Speed and accuracy :thumbsup:

I was never a Plasmatics fan, but I enjoyed their appearance on Fishin Musician



That's the secret sauce, we all know it. :cool:

Oh my god. That was amazing Rexx. You never cease to entertain us.

Thanks man!
 
I bought a bunch of pickguard material and needed to add to the order to get free shipping.
They feel pretty solid, but I’ll get them installed this weekend and post a short report.
That would be great, thx! I probably won’t purchase for another week.

?…..The only concern is stitches on my face :wacky:
Just tell folks “that’s what happens when the headstock fly’s off a thunderbird, you should see what happened to our other drummer, he should be out of the intensive care unit sometime next week”. ;)
 
That day of the week.

had the chance to take a nice drive to Whidbey island yesterday, visited the Ebey gun battery.

It's in a beautiful location, here we're looking west up the Strait of Juan de Fuca, to left are clouds making their way over the Olympic Peninsula

Looking a bit north towards Vancouver Island, there was a young woman that had set up her easel to paint out in the field.

I wonder if that’s the one that had the bridge jacked around causing the finish to crack all around the rear bridge bolts. The cosmetic damage could easily be hidden with a bridge cover but not sure if there was structural damage as well.
That was a green one? For some reason I was remembering a blue one. I'm sure you're correct. My memory is getting bad.
 
So, what the heck are you waiting for?
It's not Burgundy. They sound better. And kind of buckling down a bit to work toward getting the house paid off. We were there until we moved to a big house so my mother could have her own living level. I hate house payments. It's really the interest I dislike.

Thank you for your suggestions guys. I think I'll see if I can make it to rehearse in Friday before make a decision. What makes me not so optimistic is the venue is on my neighbor city, it's 61KM from my place (37-ish miles). Yep, it could be much much worse. The only concern is stitches on my face :wacky:
OK, now we need a picture!
 
Something just struck me as odd. I’m sitting here playing my 2015 T-bird. You know, the one with the factory Babicz bridge. It occurred to me that the Babicz bridge was designed to be an aftermarket solution to “fix” the factory 3-point bridge that many folks complain about. It seems odd to me that Gibson entered into a (potentially expensive) agreement with Babicz to outfit the 2015 T-birds with that bridge, when it would’ve likely been much less expensive to have outfitted it with the same basic TuneOMatic bridge that’s on the Epiphone Vintage Pros. Can anyone provide any insight into why Gibson went with the Babicz instead of using the old tried and true system from the original 1960’s T-birds?
