Thunderbird Club

[PhR75]

Obviously a few decades ago..... The bass looks more white than it really was.
Dumb singer is blocking my Peavey Mk and 215.

I'm still just Gah Gah over mine, the neck is like an orgasm for my left hand, and the pickup, just everything about it.

Oh how you torment me.

 

[GBassNorth]

There's a blast from the past.

About what year was that Johnny Smoke pic taken?

One day I'll score a mid-'90s Peavey B-Quad carbon-fiber neck - it's the closest feeling/profile to my '64 II, and with 24 frets! Once I get one - I'll build a Superbird around it.

 

[TBird1958]

Oh how you torment me.

I know you'll find one, it's only a matter of time

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Oh how you torment me.

wait till the fried chicken shows up…

That’s just regular checking in lacquer.

Good. Nothing looks like that area has been stressed. Not badly, I'm sure every instrument of any age has been stressed some at that point. There is some light checking that is noticeable on the body. That you can see with the naked eye.

 

[dagrev]

Good video on scam warnings. Reverb, etc.

wait till the fried chicken shows up…

Mmmm............ Fried Chicken.

Thing is, you and Scott and Jio all have a '60s Bird or two already, it was me that hadn't gotten all wet about them until recently.

√ (-1) 2³ ∑π
and it was delicious.

apologies - very geeky math joke.

Spoiler: Solution

√ (-1)= i
2³ = 8
∑= sum
π = pi

You so rock.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

There are geeky chemistry jokes too.

You know what they say: if you aren't part of the solution...

You are part of the precipitate.

My dad was a chemist (and professor), so I make such jokes on a periodic basis.

But I don't have a 63-65 reverse I know I'll get no sympathy from you lot. The supply dried right up in January.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

And he didn't slap you

Yet.

 

[TBird1958]

It'll happen, the right one will find you!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

HipShot makes what they call a D style
2 piece. It’s a shame it won’t work on a TBird.

Sure it will! Just gotta bust out the drill press!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I'm into double digits on sold Thunderbirds - Not that it makes me happy.

But triple digits on purchased, I suspect.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

know that story too well.....heartbroken would be an understatement.....

That's a job for @JIO and/or @Count Bassie.
