  1. P-bass style with Lollar Thunderbird pickups. I wanted a T-bird, but just hated the ergonomics. Of course, right after I ordered this in April, Gibson released the non-reverse T-bird with a thicker neck, better ergonomics and a nicer set of pickups...... I have decided that I am never going to custom order again. This has been a long wait and a pain in the ass at times. It has already had to be repainted once because they put the wrong nitro lacquer on it. It may go back again after I receive it. This was supposed to be Daphne Blue, but it looks like Sonic blue in the pics. Shop has been good with being willing to make things right and are willing to repaint to a true Daphne if it is lighter than I was looking for. They are nice guys and build great guitars and basses, but have dropped the ball a couple of times with the finish unfortunately. I hope the camera just washed out the images, we will see tomorrow.
  2. This is how you end up with a favorite driver.
  3. Scheduled delivery: Wednesday, 12/15/2021 by end of day IN TRANSIT Arrived at FedEx location NASHVILLE, TN Merry Christmas to me.
  4. It looks good, but I am saving up for a Surlycaster......
  5. Must be nice to have a guitar tech on call at 0700 MST. Way to humblebrag there pal.
  6. Yeah, I followed the link. Went to look up the seller to see how reliable they were. Back to the sale listing, and gone. Hopefully Goredho has a tracking number for us soon.
  7. Sold! Let us know when it arrives Goredho
  8. Watch Drive to Survive. There is a lot more to root for beyond the individual driver. I know there is heavy editing involved, but seeing each team and driver fight for every advantage whether you're first or fifteenth on the grid has made it a lot more fun. Nobody is safe in F1. Drivers are always a few bad races away from losing their seat. Team principles are under tremendous pressure to find financial backing and to move up the ladder from back marker to mid-level or up from mid-level to fighting for podiums.
  9. Depending on what the difference between private buyer and Caravana/Zoom. I would take the best offer from Carvana/Zoom/Carmax and enjoy the Bronco. Trying to eek out a little extra is not worth dealing with the flakes, low ball offers, meeting at the bank to confirm the deposit clears etc. If you are going the private sale route list it everywhere (Autotrader, FB market place, Craigslist etc). Lots of quality pics at good angles with a good background behind the Tahoe
  10. Sir Hamilton is over it too. Now to wait for the new team livery pics....... https://www.yahoo.com/sports/hamilton-knighted-just-days-f1-125302551.html
  11. Toto still got his constructors' championship. Looks like Mercedes is drunk and over it. On to next season! LH in the corner on the team radio "That's some dangerous drinking"
  12. Is Alpha Romeo asking him? I think Bottas quit taking Toto's calls a few days ago. Hamilton was always going to be on his own today.
  13. Toto went full prevent defense once LH took the big lead. He was playing to not lose. RB played to win and go home to fuck the prom queen. I hope McLaren can get a quality car together next year and punt both of these teams off of the podium.
  14. Drivers bitch about other drivers. Receivers ask for pass interference on every play. Soccer players fall down like they have been shot after getting brushed by a butterfly. This is the way.
  15. I think his car was actually just fine. RB just brought him in for a steak and a BJ. His job was done for the day.
  16. Both RB cars pitted at lap 36. LH had been on Hards since lap 14. While you can't predict the future, that's a long way to go and not expect someone to bring out the safety car. I think Mercedes had time to pit later in the race and still be in the lead. Maybe I'm wrong and perhaps it doesn't make a difference with Max on his super fresh set of softs though. I am amazed at how quickly they cleared the wreckage. I was sure we were going to finish under yellow.
  17. Man, it sucks that we are all sitting here bitching about the race officials and rules instead of the on track excitement. Everyone was at fault today. Masi was an idiot. I applaud the effort to have the race finish under green, but if he wanted to clear the midfield, he needed to relay that information earlier and allow RB & Mercedes to plan accordingly. He has made shitty decisions all year and I hope he gets fired. He is the Angel Hernandez of F1. Mercedes can bitch all they want, but they had ample opportunity in the latter part of the race to pit and get a fresh set of tires. They played the conservative game, rolled the dice and lost. Poor race management by Toto. Never leave the game in the hands of the officials. Even with the Masi gift, Red Bull still earned it on the track today. Perez was amazing as a teammate today and the late swap to a fresh set of softs for Max was a great call. The whole team at RB pulled together to get max P1. Also, LH and Max are both whiny unlikable bitches. I would love to see Riccardo, Lando and Alonso in competitive cars next year so I would actually have someone to root for.
  18. That was a good call and nice pit strategy by Red Bull.
  19. Wow. Awesome
  20. Race on!
  21. LH complaining as the race will certainly finish under yellow. So on point.
  22. Game over.
  23. Love seeing Kimi leading driver of the day votes!
  24. Race day plan C for Mercedes will be to have Bottas stuff his car into the wall and pull out the safety car for Hamilton to either pit or nurse his tires under yellow for several laps. Here is your parting bonus check Valtteri.
  25. Man, that would be a some great Drive to Survive footage next year
