Classic thread response

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 


TB could use your wit!

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

Nonsense... Ev'body knows coffee's bet-er wit sugar...

Those are the half-wits.

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

I hate all three: satire, irony & sarcasm.

Yea, right. And I hate fruits.

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