They'd stone me there!

Speaking of you, I walked past Sam Ash in NYC last night and they had about a dozen Gibson and Epi Basses up on the wall - the G-3 and the new Epi TBird Classic Pro among them. Seeing it in real life, the slightly off-set cutaway is far more prominent than on pictures, but it's not a bad visual result. Why the hell did no-one think of it before?

 I'll admit it's a *solution* and a relatively graceful one at that, in a side-by-side comparison I still much prefer Gibson's shape. But, and I'll freely admit this, I don't spend much time playing past the 12th fret. Why pervert a beautiful thing  ;)

Only because half of them (the half under 19) are so young and poorly read they're incapable of understanding what "wit" is.

Those are the half-wits.

OTOH there's no age limit on being satire-impaired.

I've always admired how healthy your diet must be with all that fruit around.
