Painting in The Dark - Cathedral

I think it looks great.

Playing my trusty old bird last night prompted me to listen to some Cheap Trick. That first album... Thunderbird plus Hiwatt, amazing.

King of Sunset Town - Marillion

Upon The My O My - Captain Beefheart

A new reissue of the non-reverse Thunderbird. Colours sound great, chrome hardware too! Not sure about the headstock logo. https://www.gearnews.com/namm-2021-gibson-official-line-up-revealed/

I Will Possess Your Heart - Death Cab For Cutie 🤣

The early Rick's used the angular tailpiece. The 'R' came a bit later.

Ghost of Perdition - Opeth

I reckon Rickenbacker could make a limited run of 4005s and they'd all be snapped up by collectors, regardless of the price.

I was thinking £4500.

I saw them on Facebook. No more details at the moment. Shall we place our bets on the price?

Wow.

Thumbs up from me! Looks like a short scale though. Edit: tell a lie, 24 frets!

Ratfink A Go Go - Misfits

Elegy - Jethro Tull

Dear Angie - Badfinger

I didn't know that!

Great thread! I've got lots to listen to here. I Am The Walrus - Spooky Tooth. The heaviest thing this 8 year old had ever heard. Got To Get You Into My Life - Cliff Bennett and The Rebel Rousers. A pretty straight cover, and not as well produced, but given a far more authentic grind than the polite original could manage. Every Little Thing - Yes. Already mentioned but this really deserves to be heard. Hungry young band, joyful, no rules, no pretension. Vicious. Day Tripper/If I Needed Someone/I Want You (She's So Heavy) - Type O Negative. This is likely to divide opinion (!) but I love it. I Want You could have been written for them.

Does anybody know why the custom quote generator isn't working? That's a valuable resource as it reminds me that I'll never be able to afford a new one and to get my head out of the clouds 😆

The longer upper horn shifts the position of the bass when playing so the neck doesn't extend as far. Edit: Alembic explain it better than I do! http://www.alembic.com/info/fc_ootw.html

I Want The Drugs - Supersuckers

Alembic now do 'Balance' versions of the Series and Signature basses. They look too skinny to me but apparently they remedy the balance issues.

These Eyes - Biohazard

Subterranean Homesick Alien - Radiohead
