Gibson Basses / Re: One of the coolest T-birds ever...

Uwe... Veronica... you are BOTH incorrigible...   :popcorn:

I'm more of a "what does she sound like...?" than the look, but you'ld never guess that form my (pitifiable by comparison) collection... about the only thing I can say is "unique" about mine is a rather obscure make of T'bird, that has suffered at my hands...  :vader:

Al... they don't have shed's in the US of A...?

... and Dave, the "shed-from-Hell" has taken up more time than I care to admit too (at least in hours), but as usual, here I am, dragging us away from the subject matter...  ;D

hmm... maybe Arthur "8-by-10" Jackson...

... and me and the father-in-law have enjoyed today (and yesterday, and me all day Friday) nearly building the shed from hell...  :sad:

Have a great day...  ;)

Nothing a tin of white spray won't cure, if you get bored with black, Scott...  ;D

Looking good guys...  8)

... and on the 12th day, God, feeling exceptionally thirsty, noted the glacier had trapped a slurpasaurous, and was fascinated by the funky colours being created as the glacier started to grind the redundant offshoot of evolution...

EVOLUTION...?

Sorry, oh Lord, artistic licence, I assure you that nothing was meant by it...

THAT WORD IS NOT IN MY DICTIONARY, AND I WROTE THE BOOK, YOU HEATHEN...!

Ok boss...

... and on the 12th day, Adam brought it to God's attention that water was a mighty boring libation...

MUCH BETTER...

Rob... some how the image of a "Varken" in a "Kuip" brings me a rather humerous image...  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

When you are that rich you can afford to hire the best...

Gotta go, the shed beckons and my wife will be back from dropping my daughter off at school, soon, and I'm reasonably fond of my skin...  :o  ;)  ;D

in 1981 I had just quit British Airways (with a years wages in my pocket, tax free) and made a serious attempt to go pro, but not to be...

Bryan... I just eat the greens (veggie...  ;))

Chris... you just live in a land of quasi-leagl "greens" ...  :mrgreen:

Some people just love to knock people down, and when you're that big...

Walsh was my big interest, but Don Felder was no slouch, just listen to the "On The Border" or any of the live recordings knocking about, especially to the dual lead interplay with Walsh on "Hotel California" ... I don't think that much of his latterday work though, post the "split", but his earlier stuff, even the sessions with Michael Stanley and Dan Fogelberg, were something else...

Ta for that, Dave... EB750... used to drool at a variety of instruments in Andy's back in the day... they did the final finishing on my RD when she went permanantly fretless... they have a couple of interesting bass's on line - there's a blond 1959 EB2 up for $12,427  :o  :o  :o I'd be interested in a '59, just for the same vintage as myself, but no sign of the lottery win...  :sad:

At the present exchange rate here that EB750 comes in at $6213.38 ... I might be able to spare the 38 cents...  :sad:

I will probably look out for an EB2/EB3L/Epi T'bird copy, or something similar, once I get some cash together... I live in hope that I can find some decent "junk" to sell on... cutting an extra (tighter) hole in the (financial) belt now we have an overtime ban...

I'm supposed to be stripping my old shed out at the moment... I'm asking for a skinning...  :o

I'm getting depressed...  :sad:  :sad:  :sad:  :sad: ( ;))
