Thunderbird Club

[Count Bassie]

I've got a p bass in parts, ready to go back together. I cut a pickguard out of brass for it, and orange might be just the thing for a body color. Hmm...

One Orange Thunderbird to rule the rest!

Went to that audition last night, brought the Bird and the GK 212/Yamaha pre/house-fire Poweramp... Singer got hung up at work and didn't show, next week we try again. I'm in though. They're a good group of peeps I think, not established as a band yet, so maybe it'll be fun (they said... Lol).

They're called "Project Alice", and I thought I'd bring The Damned's version of "White Rabbit" to the table.

The audience seems to be looking up your skirt. Who says the bass players doing get the girls?

They were, that was one really short skirt! Haven't worn it since, had some cute, really sparkly undies on so it's all G rated.

They look very appreciative.

Completely replaced the electronics in my Spector 4X "Bird". I replaced the stock SSD pickups and Tone pump JR. preamp with dual EMG 35P4 pickups and the mini-HAZ clone preamp created by a fellow TB'er. What a massive difference in sound!! It is snarly, growly, and aggressive with a nice range of tones. super happy with the way it sounds.

At a show. 2nd band is on. No bassist, just backing tracks. WTH. Hopefully he/she is sick.

Even better, the dark haired one with the tattoo looks kinda cute. Ink isn't my thing, but I might consider a short skirt for her. On the other hand, my shiny clothes are limited to polyester shirts. Looks like you win that one.

Where in the HELL do you find all these cool ass T-Birds? You must have one entire room just to store them all. So jealous.​

Ive oft wondered what the inside of the Queens castle must look like

Time for another Pic of the Flock of Birds!

 

[GBassNorth]

Orange is a grim colour for a bass, better off with a Tbird with frilly lace trim!

Actually I'd watch out playing an orange bass on St. Patricks day. Other than that it would be a cool ride!

I gotta get down there for a couple reasons - 'Birds and single malt scotch. I'm a hopeless piker for having schedule problems.

I did have some of them painted by Lull and Marty Bell, most of them just kind of followed me home after being at the right place at the right time. I have a modest home that I share with Alison Peacock ( she takes most of the better pics) and the basses do take up space in two average size extra bedrooms.

It's remarkably boring! The electric trains are vieing for space with the basses, I'm utterly pedestrian, today, my day off was spent at the market and re-potting some Japanese Blood Grasses in addition to working a bit on the model railway

Lately I've been working on mixing my Whiskey Sours using Maker's Mark here at the house, the bass playing goes right down the toilet after a good double.
You need to come on down for a evening and teach me how to play!
