While I'm some way off catching up with Mark, my new baby arrived today.  Picked up an old black Thunderbird.  It needs a little TLC, but it was a decent price...the barrel-jack is shot and I honestly forgot how Dickensian those three point bridges are, so there's a Hipshot Supertone winging it's way to me as well.

Woop.

While dismantling of a three point is hardly a cause for celebration, but nevertheless willkommen!

Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?
Clocks.

Yeah, you're right, he probably doesn't own a single bass.

Tongue in cheek, Uwe. On a motorcycle forum I'm on, there's a little emoticon that has a banana dancing around holding a sign which reads "Pics!"
Wish I could post that!

Harsh, but true.  I posted hot and sweaty after a long evening rehearsal session.  Sadly yesterday was a blur of collecting, opening, shaking my head in dismay, ordering parts and then packing up for the rehearsal.

Photos this weekend, I promise.

BTW I had a moment to listen to a couple songs on your website "The boy just loves (being a girl)"
is great! Hope I was an inspiration of sorts  ;)

OK pictures.  Everyone loves pictures.  Three birds.  A pair of Gibsons and my Hamer FBIV.
