What a surprise.

At least you'll know how a single coil P sounds like in a mahogany short scale bass.

Gibson Basses / Re: Epi Triumph II turns Zenith ...

It's better than using Triumph II, since that could cause confusion with the Gibson LP Triumph. OTOH the original Epi Zenith was a pre-Gibson hollowbody student grade archtop guitar. Why dredge up an old name that belonged to something different?

I agree, Rob shouldn't think any less of his own project. Still, this is really ambitious for a first project and it's looking great. Also, while it sucks being between jobs, it's nice that you can devote your time to this.

Uwe, you do have the power, and so does Ken. It's just not working. I'll have to see if there's a fix, but right now I have more than enough on my plate.

I just found out MadTV did this in 2007.

Too bad he didn't ditch that atrocious truss rod cover.

I can't remember, who named this Monkey Bass? eb2 Jim? A monkey on the TRC would be an improvement.

Dave Dub has the same attitude as the cellphone industry guys who say that there's nothing to worry about--ridiculing the dangerous facts & anyone who presents them.
This sort of bullying is popular in America. We want our goodies with no worries.
Unfortunately, in the USA we accept what the industry tells us, just as we accepted the tobacco industry & asbestos industry & their claims that we needn't worry.
In other countries research is done independently & therefore people in other countries understand the dangers of cellphones & towers & Wi-fi, so they protest what the greedy companies are trying to do-which is POLLUTE THE WHOLE WORLD!

Terr, you haven't actually read any of these studies. The fact is, the real peer-reviewed studies published in scientific journals do not support these claims at all. Nobody's bullying anybody. These alarmist articles can't quote any legitimate studies to support what they're claiming. They just keep recycling the same old unproven and disproven claims hoping to sucker people in.

Free frog in Weight Watchers meal

Looks healthy and lo-cal to me.

Yes, it's happened to me. And what's really puzzling is when it's in plain sight and you overlooked it.

It's the gremlins.

An old friend of mine was one of the first to use a cellphone a lot for business & got a brain tumor by the ear he always held his cell to.
Before he died about 10 years ago he warned my circle of friends not to use cellphones.
He was ABSOLUTELY right!
There are many similar tumors being reported now.
Read the whole article! It's very well researched & reported.


My step-brother-in-law was overweight and out of shape. He dieted and exercised, lost lots of weight, ate healthy, got fit, ran regularly, and did all the right things. He dropped dead of a heart attack while jogging at age 42. DIET AND EXERCISE KILLS!  8)

My point is, correlation is not causation. People who have never used cell phones get brain tumors.

The article is not researched at all. It just repeats scientific-sounding studies that have been debunked. It's mostly a rehash of the same unproven claims we saw years ago.

Just curious - what is the original from, meaning what part of his life...?

I believe the whole movie is of the last 12 days of the Reich. Never seen it, though.
