Why are there always so many gibby t-birds being sold out of Japan on the bay?

A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

She had something to with with Greco thunderbirds

Both...

Dave has a green 'kermit' bird to work on...He wants to hate it, but just can't, LOL

Me too !

??? My Generation - The Who Which bass was used on the recording....? Love that tone, especially on the bass solo..

Yeah, there is no mistaking a white t-bird pickguard, even in a dark corner of a stage.

I got the short scale thunderbird after an injury. I kept it for the punchy tone. Little thing hits like a brick wall. I think the body is actually a firebird ;)

Ask your Mamma for 15 cents....Yeah, Tom Knows what's good.

Just a four chord song....why not mash it up a bit?

Yep, the luthier said just glue and clamp and it is rock solid. I have seen some sorta hideous volute repairs over the years and some spline type that were performed like works of art.

If you must break your neck, this is how you should do it ! Better than new now.

Great stuff... Here is a very timely old reggae tune (dem wearing, de Adidas, de Puma). Live Reggae like this with a thunderbird would be the coolest thing ever.

Yeah, massive. Thunderbirds are not just for rock. Funny how every time I play a reggae bassline my rocker bandmates get this look of fear on their faces. I don't get it. Really guitar guy, can you hold off to the second beat?

I'd really be Jones'in for that Suzi Quattro Greco SB-850 t-bird on Reverb if it was a short scale..I'm ruined. :bassist: It's from France.

Frankly Floridians could use a dose of fear right about now. I have had to turn down way too many irresponsible invitations to gather. Much of the state revels in moronic redneck logic. Just staying put and practicing with the best sounding, coolest basses on the planet.

I have been messing around with clawhammering the banjo for about a year. Before I can play G-C-D7...my GF is out of the room, never fails. It's not a bass banjo, mind you.

Lets hear about your first thunderbird experiences !!! Late 70's a friend let me hold a bicentennial while he was going through some issues. I didn't gig with it for fear of damage but I found it very interesting while noodling. I tried to buy it but he wasn't having it. Early 2000's I paid...

I have heard of multi-family garage sales. This was a multi-family house xmas party gig. Their lil 20 Amp breaker was no match for my thunderbird. I had to cut some lows and the party continued.

What a Beauty.

A study out this week finds that the virus can survive on hard surfaces such as plastic and stainless steel for up to 72 hours and on cardboard for up to 24 hours. The New Coronavirus Can Live On Surfaces For 2-3 Days — Here's How To Clean Them

Soylent Green. What a great flick. A Clockwork Orange was another. What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got, say, pitiful, portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper! Hear angels' trumpets and devils' trombones. You are invited!

Eventually I did get a 2nd Lull Pup for the bridge. And wood floors. But I still like this pic. Looks like I was also trying some foam mutes on the bridge for that funky thud.

Every kid on my block would get on their bike and ride behind the DDT mosquito fogger truck as our parents watched laughing and huffing on their unfiltered Camels while downing dry martinis by the pitcher. Oil changes were done dirt cheap.

Since economic efficiency demands that resource levels are "Just Enough" and timing is "Just In Time"; doesn't take much for the wheels to fly off the apple cart. If social distancing is practiced correctly the peak numbers will flatten but the duration will lengthen. Feeling a bit like an Inca...

Heard 'Wildfire' by Michael Martin Murphey today. I guess in some Native American cultures hoot owls are associated with ghosts. After his girlfriend dies and her pony is lost.... By the dark of the moon, I planted But there came an early snow Been a hoot-owl howling outside my window now 'Bout...

Double Vision

I can't explain why except for an impending sense of doom but fortunately last December I sold off almost all my stocks for bonds and brokered cds to start a modest but certain income stream. Now it is a matter of if and when to get back in the stock market game. I almost started buying up...

Thunderbird / P-Bass Thursday? Probably playing the same song 45 years apart

Gigs...cancelled. It is the smart move. Good time to learn and tweak. Then again, I have had 45 years to learn.

"Blue Moanin" was the very first rock song I learned to play (underneath popcorn ceilings of course). Teacher was like "well you should really learn your scales first". I was like "no".

When Rick Derringer and company left the studio after laying down that guitar solo section on Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo I think Rick told Edgar "instead of saying "yeah, did somebody say keep on rockin" I should have said "there ya go crappy cover bands, take that". This guy breaks it down very...

Yes, and I also prefer a house with more modest sized living rooms so that the TV can go against one wall and a couch can go against another instead of having a couch out in the middle of the room surrounded by wide virtual hallways that I need to air-condition. An electric bill costing nearly...

I found strap locks to be as frustrating as button holes. I just leave a strap on each bass and use a 10 cent rubber washer to prevent pull-throughs.

Snapped a few pics while setting up Saturday afternoon. I really enjoy playing at the fish camp. Stage overlooks the water and I was lucky cuz when I screwed up there happened to be some airboats heading in. :bassist:

Yes indeed. Here in East Central Florida we get relatively mild ones... sometimes they are embedded in tropical storms. I recall when Jeanne came through we made it to the last few hours OK as the eye passed just South of here. I stepped outside to see this tiny tornado spinning out of a cloud...

This is a young band and we had a good crowd reaction. This band plays 80's stuff like tears for fears, the cure, etc and a odd lot of 90's alternative along with a few classic rock songs like wheel in the sky by Journey. I saw at least a couple of Jacksons in the super duper led flashing tip...

Ahh, gig 2nite....hope I don't catch something. I hear there is a crabs pandemic at this bar.

Flapping pants legs are a bonus.
