Corabi was great, but people wouldn't listen at the time. Not the grunge kids and not the old MC crowd. It fell between all cracks - or canyons. Doesn't change the fact that they really put their heart in that album.
MTV didn't like Corabi and ended any chance of the band ever being anything other than what legions of slutty white trash chicks perform to. Vince Neil must have one HELL of an agent.
It's the Pontiac Aztec of basses.
Ouch!
Okay, I'm known for my bad taste in basses, but I kinda like it. ...
Opp.......Hope I'm not treading on your car!
C'mon guys, you know he did it because every serious player needs a P pickup in his bass. It get's even better with the extra J at the bridge.
;D At least i didn't say Fender.
Can we have Iome drowned in some dark deep well, Dave, please? Freedom of speech and thought is an overrated concept. There have to be limits you know. :mrgreen:
I don't think the Spector looks horrible, especially not compared to how other Spectors look, but the altered shape has none of that Art Deco'ish elegance a reverse TBird or Firebird has. It's a bit clumsy.
Schecter, not Spector. Although Spector has the Forte 4X which is also an ugly bastard stepchild of the T-Bird.
Yuck. Looks like a T-bird that was left on a radiator and melted at the edges.
anyone remember this thing?

if i remember correctly these retailed at about two grand when they came out. :P
Yes. You would think at least one of them could make something that doesn't look like it took thalidomide.

Isn't that an RD? ;)

No, I, like you, drive a Legacy wagon (05 GT). I just didn't think the bass looked that bad.
LOL. I know I am in a very small minority, but I actually like the Aztec..... the Sixx Sig is a fugly beast though, especially in that horrible burst. Much worse than the car (I even like the yellow ones).
I got the chance to play this bass at Sam Ash. Looks a lot better in person. Although, it's not Thunderbird pretty. And sure doesn't sound like a 'Bird either. Sounds just like his Spector bass tone. Plugged into a small Ampeg combo it and it was easy to achieve his 'Girls, Girls, Girls' tone. The bass felt like his Epi Blackbird Model. And the neck was much larger than a Thunderbird. Very P bass-ish.
If it had an actual Thunderbird shape, I'd be all over it.
Overall a very nice bass, but it looks like a cartoon-ish Thunderbird IMO.
In this interview, Sixx references his '59 P-bass as influencing the Schecter...

The owner talked me out of it, told me I would never play it in public. He was right, not my style.
They're all kill switches, even filled to the brim with heroin (rhymes!), you're bound to hit one to get the darn thing silent.
Great looking Warlock, George! I've never had a chance to try the NJ stuff, but if its anything like the other Japanese axen of the era I bet its nice.
I love the neck on my Mockingbird. I was told its a '79, but I'm not entirely sure how to date them... (s/n 81XXX). The neck is 1 5/8" at the nut, and slender profile. Wide and shallow- like a Kardashian! :)
Just managed to buy another BC from the same dude a year later. This one is even more of a switchfest than the Mock!

Bich Supreme in glitter rock white. 89XXX s/n - whatever year that is. '83-ish?
I heard that its a good bass for metal :P
Flash thought: There should be a Federal Law against split coils on anything but a Fender P.
Mind yer own jurisdiction, Hans! Here in 'Murica, we enjoy our freedom to rock any way we like (firmly entrenched in the constitution ... somewhere between the freedom of religion and right to bear arms).

that is crazy. No way I would be able to deal with all of those.....
I thought you were Canadian?! :)

Darn right, a Brit-grovelling royalist.
I think the last thing you'd want would be U.S. annexation...... Trust me.
Enjoy your Canadianess - And another piece of Back Bacon eh ;)
Geddy was a good sport to do the chorus.
Anyway, funny how things come around again (this time without the prime-time safe euthamisms):

Sheer jealousy of that one nation under Canada ...
Baby-seal-killer! :mrgreen:
As soon as we secure our ownership of the arctic and it's oil, we will have dominion over all the earth by virtue of our oil and water reserves. All this time y'all thought we were being nice; muahahahahahahaha.
... and happy birthday Nikki.
(Inquisitively) Yours are never under some wood, right?
We have the less furry ones here ;)
That must be a French Canadian Beaver, I hear they don't shave much.
On deck, platform boots can be hazardous. Lots of sailors around, you never know what you might slip on.
I wanted to join the Canadian Navy.
