2020 Gear abstinence fail

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

I have all the basses I need so the plan was to not buy any this year, or at least hold off from buying any for as long as possible. However I saw a deal on a white epi thunderbird vintage pro which I managed to resist before xmas that had been further reduced to a price where it would have been rude not to.

I have two vintage pros already, both sunburst so I don't really have a tbird-shaped gap in my collection although I've really wanted a white one since they were first launched.

Not sure how I'm going to explain the appearance of a white one, I guess its better to ask for forgiveness than permission. I'm a little ashamed that my gear abstinence resolution only lasted three days though.

Three days? That's quite a long time, congrats 🙂

I know better and don't plan such things....... 😄

So which of the ‘burst T-birds are you going to sell to make suitable hole for the white one? 😉 🤣

I've upgraded both and they're as good as each other but the first one is a defintite keeper so if the second one gets its marching orders I'll have to put the original tuners back on and move the reso-lites & cobalt flats onto the white one.
