Great to hear that the NR is much appreciated. As for not getting all the parts of a song right, that's what the volume knob is for. Being loud covers a multitude of sins. Just ask many bands from the 70s and 80s.

You think it's not still the case?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I always liked it (from when it was new) but gained greater appreciation for it (and Glen Campbell) over the years. It's one of my all-time favorite pop songs.

You and me, both. Galveston's good, too.

I'll repeat what I have heard. Thunderbird production at Gibson has stopped and a revamping to 60's specs. possibly is taking place. Just how accurate it will be I don't know.

What about the Epis?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

You hit them with sticks. What is difficult??

I hit them with hands. Djembes and cajones[1] and stuff.

A bit off topic here.
But today is officially @RedVee
birthday.
A very happy and healthy one to you my friend!

I've been meaning to ask, how do y'all keep track of these?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Acrylic.

Once, great herds of mighty acrylics roamed the plains, but were hunted to near extinction...

There is a mating pair that lives in a copse near us. Every day the trees have new color splashed on them near the ground...

Sometimes in our profiles, our dates of birth are listed.
Other times it’s just when it comes up in conversation and someone remembers cause it has been mentioned at a previous time.

I hope they have lots of colors. Colors that aren't black, white, and burst. The right color would make me think pretty hard about spending money. And maybe even make me do it if it's a '60s spec reverse Thunderbird in one of several colors.

East Bay

The Bay Area is well represented around here. Our queen will be around soon, no doubt, and you will be in like Flint, Michigan. Or something.

You made an offer I guess?

Happy Birthday @RedVee !!

Flawless with custom case and setup by what appears to be a real pro. The action is super low and no fret buzz. The sound is fantastic through my Sunn Concert bass amp and matching 215m cabinet. All in at $300.

Nice! Play it like you stole it.

Any cures for the massive neck dive? Maybe a velcro shirt and strap?
