    The Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club

    On Revelation Song l invoke my “Thunderbird Rule”…..if the word “thunder” pops up in the lyrics……..its gonna get loud. When I first explained this to the worship team, they thought I was kidding. Come Sunday they realized I was serious. They sorta look forward to it now.

    stage presence?

    50+ years ago, an old bluesman told me: “son, if you are just gonna stand there, folks might as well stay home and listen to the record”

    New pastor. I have tried to give him time to find his feet but we now have 5 staff who have “resigned/retired” when in fact they were given the choice to resign or be fired. All good folks and none have been replaced. Its been 1.5 years and I still have never gotten a hello from him or his wife...

    Church politics have greatly reduced my desire to play. Bums me out. I’m booked through Easter. I may step aside after that.

    Thunderbird Club

    I’ve had my ‘77 since it was new. Other than a couple junky MIJ basses that preceded it, its pretty much my reference point for all basses. I have never had a chance to try a ‘64.

    Thunderbird Club

    No go. I have tried various schemes. Trussrod is pretty much maxed already and since Dan Erlewine repaired the trussrod back in 2018(?), I am hesitant to make any adjustments. She’s 48 years old. She’s earned a good nap once a year.

    Thunderbird Club

    The cooler temps are here and the heat goes on soon….so the Bird has been unstrung and parked until May’ish. I have to soldier on with the Jazz until then.

    Extremely hard and difficult neck repair of Fender Jazz Bass

    She has another video where she replaces the trussrod on a neck thru T-bird. Terrifying to watch as I have been contemplating having the same procedure done.

    I wasnt on for yesterday’s service but the worship teams rendition of Death Was Arrested can only be described as fierce.

    Broken truss rod repairs

    When I broke the trussrod on my ‘77 Thunderbird, after searching like you, I ended up driving 800 miles round trip to Dan Erlewine’s shop in OH.

    The Wednesday gig is a Celebrate Recovery service, which I was asked to play. Ironically 9/13/2025 will mark 5 years sober for me so, yea….Graves Into Gardens. That garden can be thorny at times but it beats a grave.
