We all brought 3 guitars each without telling each other and the stage was only small. We still put all the guitars out front. Brilliant. I love it when random stuff like that happens.
When I typed T-Bird with this audience, I should have known the immediate association would have been a Gibbie... Nice white - something about a white bass looks just right - wish RIC still would make them.
The book is packed away and inaccesable at the moment, plus that would be violating a copyright. It is in his Bass Culture book, which everyone should have in their library. The book is guitar/bass porn of the highest order.
