I could swear this one has been for sale before, maybe back in the Pit days?? Am I crazy and/or confused? Maybe a new addition to Mark's flock?
-
You're not imagining things, he did have that up once before in the Pit v.3 days. Owner is a friend of mine, I've played it but at that time it still had the EMG Js in it.
-
Thank god it has the original pu's and pickguard. That needs a good refin!
-
That is one ugly color. Mustard-something.
-
Some people have really bad taste.
-
Like Stryper?!
-
As I remember it, it's not quite as mustard looking as the pics show.
-
I remember that one too...............
I like a little more of a yellow orange..........that shade would be too kind to my complexion..........
I really don't need another '76 tho ;D

Some people sit on their taste!

Are you feeling ill?
Have you been taken over by an alien seed pod?

Maybe!
I don't have the biggest house, and keeping 12 basses takes some room...........I'm not as fortunate as Uwe, they won't let me store them at work ;)

You have absolutely no idea, Mark, what I'm going through here! I get notices from our office landlord admonishing me that my modest collection of scarcely 112 Gibsons and Epis is supposed to create "fire life safety concerns" and that I'm allegedly blocking escape routes.
This ain't no free country no more. Lynyrd Skynyrd should write a song about it, really.
-
Send him to ze Russian front............schnell!
-
Halon fire system...?
-
By the amount of failures: Lucas more likely. :mrgreen: ;D ;)

Never tempt fate... :o

It would be better if the entire thing was TV Yellow, but I guess I just don't understand this heavy artistic statement (Bumble Bee?)

I guess you'd have to find whoever originally refinned it. Maybe he had a bee fetish.
The idea of a TBird in TV Yellow is a little odd, maybe it would work.
-
Maybe he/her/other was British, with a "Traffic Warden" fetish...
-
I remember that one. I actually like it. I've seen a lot worse colour schemes on refins anyway.
-
I like it too. If I could afford to bid on and won it, I wouldn't do a thing but play it.
Right now I'm listening to a 4-song cassette where it was played. Sounds just fine with the Js. Hey, maybe I'll bid after all and put the Js back in! Get rid of some of that chrome.... ;)
-
Would anything top my old fin' on my T'bird... surely not...
-
TV yellow? Dave, may I offer an expanation on the origins of that particular color? Pleeeeeeeze!!!
-
Why not? Jules now has a 20/20 page up so you can't agitate him about that anymore, you need to let it out. Better yet, make up a new story about its origin, it will be just as valid as the black & white TV story or the imaginary Les Paul TV show story.
-
still no Bass IV or V
-
Sold for $1325. IIRC he was looking for the upper teens when he had it up in 2007.
The market speaks. Not a bad deal for somebody.

It's a herpes..............
Just keeps coming back ;)
-
Somebody in the UK won it and didn't want to pay the shipping.
