Not really Thunderbird related, but I learned something new, today-ish yesterday-ish......

Stuff like this, it turns out...

.....I guess it's time to see how bad the neck twist is, if it's gonna need replacing, or if I can live with it as-is

One site would cost about $175 a person with fees. In another site it was under $100 per person. I would do $100 to see them, but much more than that I will pass. Just returned from my daughters wedding and that was a kick to the financial crotch.

Congratulations on the wedding!
Condolences on the death of your bank account.

Hopefully you like the new son-in-law.

That color looks great.
My first encounter with SW was a demo/return(?) of a nice Fender 115 Eminence cab from ebay. I don't think I knew it was SW until it arrived. I'm not sure how some stuff ends up there as opposed to anyplace else. Still have that cab.

Thanks! We do like him and his family is a great group as well. We really enjoyed spending time with them.

Having a great son-on-law is a joy. Means you raised your daughter with the ability to see people for who they really are. Congrats.

I picked up a cheesy project last night.
Cheesy project bass- what is this thing?

Congratulations, Andy! The Universe owes you another Thunderbird.

Wow. Subscribed.

Waiting for @JIO to take a look and weigh in

I've been away the last few days, busy taking care of my dog, he swallowed a bone and couldn't get it out; days so busy that I even forgot to pay my web provider and was offline for 3 days.
Now he is in better health, managed to expel the bone (actually 2 small rib bones) but still taking medicine.

Yikes! My wife was a vet tech for many years, so I’m familiar with the many things that can go wrong when dogs swallow stuff.
Lucky he avoided surgery.

Happy Sat everyone…..

I think that oak neck would minimize it needing a TR. Any wood can obviously move, but oak should be plenty stable I would think. Nothing you don't already know. Interested to see how it turns out. Looks to have good bones. If you don't put much more into it you can use it at a gig and go all psycho Pete and slam it into the floor, or catch it on fire al la Jimi. Just don't forget to take it off first. Very important first step.

Don't you have an uncool minivan or something?

Whoever installed the frets, didn’t trim them properly, so they damaged the binding… and there’s a missing chunk.
I might go short scale with an old EB copy neck I have.
I don’t think I could get into a headspace where I would want to smash an instrument!

Oh my. So glad your dog is doing better. Scary stuff...

This happened last week and for five days couldn't poop properly; the vet is a longtime friend of mine from high school and Army, warned me that it could be bone and that the surgery is very dangerous.
Those were terrifying days for me, but in the third wash the bones came out; let's just say this dog is the only good thing I had left from the post-divorce period.

But let's talk about more pleasant subjects: TB pic (Epi brothers)

Thank you both!!

As always, I can’t remember.
Is that Jazz a ‘74 AVRI?
Or the real deal?
