Can’t be, dragstrip isn’t open!

True, and NASCAR ain't racin' yet. But soon!

 

[dagrev]

where did I go?

I’m not sure if I’m ready to start the defret on my NR yet. It doesn’t take too long, but it’s a lot of precise concentrated work and attention to detail…

I have a refinish on a 4004 Ric I have planned but it’s too cold to actually paint and I don’t want to disassemble until I can paint.

I got a bridge I need to replace on my sg treble geetar, but I have to fill the offset holes of the tuna-matic bridge and redrill straight holes for the 70’s schaller harmonica bridge, then I need to cut a new pickguard and control panel.

maybe I’ll just mindlessly thump away on some 12 bar blooze for an hour or so, while watching boba fett….

Bumbles bounce but basses don’t?

Quit that nonsense or I’ll send you some snow!

I was digging on the internet and I can’t seem to find any build-a-bass bodies with a NR body-style. There was this great guitar builder on eBay who was cutting them pre-pandemic but he’s not making them anymore. Anybody know where I might find one that just needs to be routed out?

Infineon Raceway, but neither the snow nor an open track will make a difference as I’m off to India next week…

Long term?

[Bent77]

One month.

Hope you have a safe trip

@WillyW was that the year you were looking for?

Rosser? I think he got a letter from Gibson….

I’m paring down my parts basses,

I got a reverse body loaded with EMG Jx something jazz pickups.

and an NR body with reverse Pbass pickups.

They look a tad underwound compared to the Chinabuckers. (9 & 10.0 readings) Might be worth a go if you also needed a pg

Even a Sweetwater order got delayed by three days recently. UPS is screwing things up pretty badly lately, too.

Everyone is short staffed. Everyone.

here's a fun one... I already blocked the OP...

Your 2015 Epiphone Thunderbird Classic IV Pro might be a rebadged 2014 Gibson.

not sure if they shipped the fully finished gibsons overseas then painted them with poly, or for sure how the delusion goes... the op got panties twisted pretty quickly....

That was epic.
