Thunderbird Club

In the bad neighborhood I grew up in there was a different and non-hispanic hand gesture to ward off the evil eye or look. Required less fingers.
A pretty much universal gesture.
When I served aboard USS Enterprise[CVA(N)65, not NCC-1701-D], they had a pic taken from one of our F4 Phantoms of a crewman in a Russian Bear bomber flipping off our crew-with a big SEG.:smug:
 
I suspect entirely different. My preference is deep, dark, smooth, solid foundation, no frills, finger style. In essence it’s a bass so I want it to sound like one. That said, there are times when strong mids, grit, grind and angry piano are called for. I don’t currently have many options in that Tbird department, for that I usually turn to my Warwick Thumb. So if the 2015 replaces the thumb I’ll be a happy camper.

Boris the Spider has to sound like Shelob's piano.
 
@KingFace looks like the last one!
