Thunderbird Club

[Miles_ONeal]

This was in my FB feed this AM.................Dig the guy working the doghouse!

Cool style mashup!

The vocals remind me of Chris Rea.

If the beginning is too slow for you, skip to about 2:50.

And finally the Chinabuckers are out and Thunderbuckers are in the Flamingo. I put the 66N in the neck and 66S at the bridge instead of the other way around like I was thinking about. It sure has a lot more authority and a bigger voice now. EBCF silks are purple. I am shallow. It is a message that the Flamingo should always have EBCFs on it. The pixie dust '01 will always have Black Beauties on it most likely, although I have a set of Dragon Skins to try.

If you do it and like the tone results, I'll do it. If I can find a pick guard that's the same size as the what came on it.

I was actually wondering where he got his, I assumed pickguardian but knowing him, it's probably a real one.

I'm going to take a little satisfaction in reading this....... I think hearing the Lulls was a bit of a push for you.

Many Docs like to believe they are great guessers (diagnosticians). I firmly believe the problem is getting worse. I don't know if it's a failure in training or just that "little god syndrome" (I can't possibly be wrong), that seems to have affected them and a good many profs in higher ed these days.

So you have met some radiologists...

He did eventually send some real pictures. Said been in storage for a few years (from the dirt, I can believe that) and has a hum when turned on. OK, doesn't seem like a scammer, but at $400, definitely not a deal. Can't imagine the possible issues with capacitors and the paper cone on that 15" speaker.

If the storage was temperature controlled, might be OK; if not, NOT.

I’ve only used the tunnel…the bridge is deceivingly huge…

My one trip into Canada, I entered through Detroit. Truckers I spoke with on CB advised the tunnel. I spent less than 2 minutes at CA customs and off to Barrie via Toronto.

Yup Tis where I have permanent residency, just ask my wife

I dunno. Doghouse is fun.

 

[Hondapunk]

pretty cool
to think that car was supposed to sport a GM rotary motor (yes) that GM reneged on last minute forcing AMC engineers to shoehorn an existing AMC slant 6……moral of the story….everyone sh1ts on the underdog but in AMC tradition, way more got sold than originally forecasted…..GO AMC!!

One of the original Television commercials for the Pacer showed someone making a 6' sub sandwich in the back seat. Can't beat that for a selling point !

"exploratory surgery" is rarely done any more. Not only is there a fair bit of risk associated with anesthesia, but with modern imaging (CT and MR) there is little need.

Having said that, a referral to a surgeon is worthwhile. A radiologist will not see on imaging what a surgeon knows to look for. A Sports Medicine/Physiatrist will also not see what a surgeon sees. It is the experience of having seen lots of imaging twinned with a real-world view.

Just my $0.02

We’re more scope happy down here. Let’s not get into the debate as to why and leave it to other forums.

The extent of damage in shoulders can be particularly difficult to see on imaging (but you know that) unless you have access to a high level T machine at a top tier institution. And then getting time on one for an orthopedic issue is difficult. And expensive.

I really hope @Dr_Feelgoood212 can get it taken care of soon and get back to playing!

 

[MCF]

Love em all, but that ‘64 is to die for!
And for the record, have you ever thought about becoming a leg model? If not, you should.

 

[MCF]

speak of the devil…RIP
Vangelis, Oscar-Winning Composer of 'Chariots of Fire' and 'Blade Runner,' Dead at 79

Very sad to hear that. His solo and stuff with Jon Anderson is always good for a change of pace.

How about a few Gibson’s and a massive tube amp? View attachment 4695304

OMG.

Here’s mine. But it pales in comparison to yours.

 

[MCF]

Actually both guys are long-time Thunderbird lovers and players. Just too "optimistic" to be polite. But there may be some dude who can't live without it even near that price. Certainly not me. As always, the true value is what someone is willing to pay. They will likely be setting on that a while till more realistic thinking sets in.

Makes the ‘67 on Reverb at 4K we debated about a while back seem reasonable. It’s still there. Refinish, maybe a neck repair, at least one non-original pot and non-original case. If I lived in Texas, I’d go check it out. @D.M.N. confirmed the price is not negotiable.

....hopefully the link works (correctly-ish) this time.....

Probably have to have instagram to see the vid, i think.

.....it sends the app to the wrong vid, but the correct one when using chrome...

Drive carefully! Give us a wave when you pass the Frazier Park exit. I’m 13 miles due west of that, still finishing up the fire safety clearing project.

Start looking at pawnshops

Most pawns down here use Reverb pricing. They really need an incentive to move something at a bargain price. It has to have been there a long time and be a cash only transaction. Not too long ago I tried to get a nice Peavy T-20 with a wiring issue, but couldn’t get them to go less than $500. It was nice. But not that nice.

 

[MCF]

Years ago I was jamming with some guys in a cellar and found an abandoned portaflex head with 7027A power tubes, (forgot the model, may have been a B-18 head but I don't think it was) but whoever bought it new had had the name Bob engraved into the plastic Ampeg insignia because Ampeg would do that for you way back when. They gave it to me and I took it home and it worked well, no hum or anything, I stupidly sold it later on though. But how often do you have an amp with your name on it? .
