The Outpost Cafe / Re: The Twinkie Diet

They say Twinkies never go bad, but I found this one in a fresh box a number of years back.....



Hostess said that it was mold, they had no idea why, the product was at the peak of it's freshness cycle. I was sent coupons for 3 free boxes of Twinkies! I didn't loose any weight!!  :puke:

Depends what you mean:

The Les Paul Bass often referred to as LP Recording or LP Professional bass has a larger and thicker body than the Triumph.

The body of the Les Paul Recording guitar is the same shape as the Triumph bass.

I meant the Les Paul Recording guitar that matches the Triumph bass.

The first Les Paul Bass, (like you have!) has the same body as the LP Personal & the LP Professional, the largest & heaviest Les Pauls...
The Les Paul Triumph Bass and the Les Paul Recording Guitar, have a smaller body than the first models, but a larger body than standard Les Pauls.   :bored:

Amazing woman! Hard to believe that she can still play that well from memory at her age! As I get more in tune to the "Senior Comunity", with my mother in a rather large senior apartment/assisted living facility, I realize how important music is, even more so to the elderly. It's amazing to see someone with dementia so bad, that they have no idea that they were ever married & no longer can recognize their own kids, (run on sentance!), sing! They remember every word to all of the songs from their era & love to sing them! If we could tap the part of the brain that remembers music, we could cure all memory disorders... maybe... ;D

I read a book, about seven years ago, written by Ronnie Van Zant's security guard Gene Odom. It was a pretty good read, with a lot of first hand info from a guy that survived the plane crash.

October 21st 1977 is the day my wife & I were married. Our 33rd was yesterday. I was kinda busy when the crash happened, but I recall being bummed out when I heard about it the next day.

The fuzz in the EB-0F looks to me to be the origional Maestro FZ-1, I have a FZ-1A pedal & it's a bit different. The bass and the FZ-1 version also take two AA batteries where as the FZ-1A only takes one. I've always wondered why they didn't incorporate the Fuzz-Tone in a guitar instead. It makes the bass sound like an electric fart! That being said, I would still be proud to own the bass on Ebay, if I had enough left over from my lotto winnings............. :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  ???
