Newbee saying Hi :p
« on: December 14, 2015, 10:49:43 AM »
First post to say hi.

Some of you know me from TB in the Thumderbird Club others this is my first chance to say hi.

Been playing bass for just under a year now. Started my musical journey a long time ago in a Symphonic Band playing Tuba. Now I have an Epi Thunderbird Classic IV (bolt on neck), an Epi IV Pro, a Spector Rex 4 and my most recent is an Epi Goth that is taken apart for repaint which will be put back together soon. 8)

Welcome man. I use photobucket to share pics.
Since you're from Illinois, you shouldn't have any trouble finding vintage Gibsons in your area since they were originally manufactured not too far from you in Kalamazoo. Score an old one with one of those big pickups at the end of the fret board people call a mudbucker and you'll feel right at home with your tuba background. Models you should look for are the EB0, EB1, EB2 and EB3. The EB0 will be the cheapest out of those.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Welcome.

I use photobucket. But if a photo on your phone is on a drive (e.g. an SD card) you should be able to attach it to your post, although there's a size limit.

I don't know how you did that but thank you! Truth be told I have one more but she hasn't been put back together since the paint. Wet sanding amd polish come this week.

And thank for all the welcomes.
