The Last Bass Outpost

It is beautiful. Nice craftmanship there.

Duck Dunn's comment got me thinking.

Alligators and crocodiles are not native to California. There are no alligators and crocodiles in California except in zoos and in the homes of people who keep them illegally as pets. One might read an article about the California Crocodile, but this species is new, and there is no official word about it from the scientific community. In addition, this crocodile was not found in the US but Baja, California, in Mexico.

But on the other hand:

Yes, alligators can survive in California. The weather is ideal for the gators, and there are many bodies of fresh water in the state.

It snows in California, but it does not get as cold as it does in New York. On the south side of the state, snowfall happens rarely. If it does snow, the amount of snowfall is negligible.

So, how will the alligators survive? For one, there are more than 3,000 lakes and reservoirs in the state. Below are the biggest ones:

Mono Lake
Goose Lake
Honey Lake
Lake Tahoe
Salton Sea

All these lakes are teeming with wildlife, and there is no reason for a crocodile or alligator not to survive. In addition, there is plentiful food in the state. In addition to this, there are 100 rivers in the state. What this means is that alligators have plenty of options where to build a home in the state.


You would think that a similar sized mammal carnivore would have by now certainly made its way to the West Coast. Even the gators have made it to Texas. So why not warm Southern California? I mean they can't be all Confederates and/or white supremacists, can they?! 

They would have to be introduced. To spread naturally they would have to cross a vast desert and huge mountian range. They wouldn't get halfway across Texas.

Why not a 4000 reissue?

With a horseshoe.

Demonstrating that the bridge pickup cover can be used for percussion.

I wouldn't think Come Together is Paul McCartney's best bass line, not when there is Lovely Rita, She's so Heavy, and even Pretty Little Love Songs.

If you watch that Gibson factory tour video to the end you will see that many instruments that do not pass final inspection are sent to the mod shop. Mod shop guitars are not special runs, they are just trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

So is there a new edition with the new non-reverse Thunderbird?

Might not be a good idea to have a bass auction end at 5:14 A.M.

TBird is TBird. As long as it's neck-thru.

So NRs are not TBirds?

I'm curious to compare to my Bach's and understand if it's worth 5 times the price.

I would love to read the comparison.

I have the trans red 20th anniversary bass, it is the best finish in my opinion.

I have probably posted this already, but it is a great song and features a Fireglo 4001.

And there are scientific studies proving the earth is flat too

The earth has less curvature than a Home Depot 2 X 4.

"The bass is the same platform as the 2013 Nonreverse."

Now that wasn't a bad bass by any means, but it neither felt, played nor sounded like a 60ies NR. The secret of those is that they feel a little on the flimsy side. A company would be reluctant to put out something similar today, because people would identify that feel with cheap on a new bass.

But the Bach NR was a cheap bass that nailed the vibe of the 60's NR, at least the second run, before they thickened up the body and neck. If the new Gibson offering has as thick a neck as the last one I won't be buying.

Ted Nugent signature ammo.....why?
