Essentialy any state apparatus derives it's power from force. If you want to experience fascism, simply stop paying your taxes.

Fascism and antisemitism is also prevalent on the political left Pilgrim. The folks cheering on the atrocities in times Square are known as socialist democrats. The word nazi itself refers to national socialism.

Kick ass Thrash. Great guitar solo. For the record, I don't endorse poisoning preachers.

B sounds brighter to me. If I had to guess, A is probably the Gibson pickup because it sounds closer to a TB+ which I would assume could carry over to the new pickups. Overall the two examples are more alike than different. Thanks for sharing.

The burst on the competition burgundy looks nice although not particularly red. Slab rosewood fret boards are a nice feature. The Desert Sand color on the 50s Precision is a very fetching shade of beige.

A little blood never stopped Sonny Boy Williamson. Here's another version of Robbie Robertson's take on the story. Hope Steven Talarico gets it straightened out. Too bad Sonny couldn't look after himself better.

That would make more sense than a left handed EB from the 50s. Shana Tova by the way.

I caught that one too. Doug Lubahn played a 50s Gibson EB on Strange days,or at least that's what he said in an old Bass Player mag article. I wonder how he got the bar bridge to work for playing lefty. Maybe they made a couple left handed EB basses?

This is good news! I wonder if those black ones would be a drop in for my 92' LPB-1? My EB-1 is back in working shape since I found a vintage two point bridge on reverb. Would be great if these pickups could replace the microphonic TBs in my LPB.

EB-2 basses are the coolest but we already knew that.

If I had the money, I'd go the whole hog and get 5 2000s heads with a couple 2x 15s for each head just for kicks. I'm not that guy but it would only take a few geezers with more money than sense and they're probably out there.

I've encountered TB+ that have reached their expiration as well. Seems an odd thing to happen for a pickup encased in epoxy. Perhaps it's engineered obsolescence although that's probably giving too much credit to incompetence.

Yes, clearly burgundy. 
We really are living in 1984.
Winston what color is this bass?
Blue?
Wrong! Red! Now time for the two minute hate against Gibson.

I had to look up why competition burgundy is actually blue. Do you know if this new Fender will have the purple burst on the edges too?

Too bad they didn't burst the headstock. Not sure about the amber knobs being the best choice. Thumbs up to the pearloid pickguard.
