To each their own, I suppose. I wouldn't ruin anything with that hideous thing.Oh, you have so much to learn my Padawan.
I don’t have much data of interest for the CCP (or anyone else) but thanks for the heads up.
How about all your bank movements/purchases? And anything you have on your phone? No privacy, I mean it. Tiktok which is a chinese app has been caught multiple times giving data from their users to the ccp. I'm not making it up, neither I'm racist, just stating the facts.
I guess I'm part of this club now! I got a 2010 or so Thunderbird at a reasonable price. I've been playing it for a while, but only am giving it a setup today, I got the bridge off there and put on a Hipshot, so it's all got to be redone.
I like it!
I like it!
This is the one I was trying to remember.
@Kriegs gave me his old T-Bird case, which was ultra-generous! I've had it lo, these last 4+ years. But gigs are a-comin', and a gig bag is going to be worth having. The price of the Thomann is a winner, but shipping overseas just isn't... The Gator might be a winner. I'm in control of a lot concerning cartage- no gp involvement like a subway ride presents, so a cheep bag can work.
Anyway it's nice to see options.

Post us a picture of your Thunderbird!
Happy to add you to the club if you wish - let me know.
Hiya Vee!!
I mean... Your Grace... *deep bow*
I’m only half ass following the case/gig bag discussion so I’m not sure I’m being helpful but that has never stopped me before.
I think my CP has barely fit in the Ibanez gig bag. I have the tan one. And the padding is crappy thin. I’m not sure if it has the big headstock or not.
my Greco tb70 has the huge headstock and I don’t have a gig bag that fits it. But the epiphone hard case does. I got the epiphone case because it was available where I purchased it from and got a good deal at $99 shipped.
If I needed an NR case I would modify the epiphone one as you can see it has plenty of room.
Another Transformers and Autobot fan I see.
That would be the "normal" WillyW.
CP and the Greco are the same size and fit in the Ibanez gig bag.
this Ibanez bag…

I consider anything on my phone is not private and could possibly be shared with the world. I don't do online banking or Paypal on it it.
I'm not doubting what you say is true. But we'll get shut down if we start discussing politics here.
I don't but I did a library tour of sorts last fall and the following spring and happened to use the T-bird on each and every gig (sans a fretless Aria for one PC tune...). The idea was that me and my friend played a song and a librarian who toured with us presented a biography of that same artist/band.
We usually played an encore (ushered mostly by that library fellow...) and did an original tune. Here's one where I play some artsy accompaniment using the bridge pickup and playing way above the money frets.
I think a library tour is much cooler than Tiffany's mall tour.
Another more "trad" T-Bird thingy, using the neck pickup and Bad Monkey.
What language is the guitarist singing? Finnish?
Kyllä. I mean yes.
I'd probably do that too if they paid as well as we got paid.
FEEEEEET!!!
One more from that "Word Slavery Tour" as we cheekily dubbed it.*
Both pickups on with some hair from Bad Monkey (and my head!) and occasional flanger. We didn't try to duplicate the original version as you can hear and how could we anyway. But making own arrangements was part of the fun and we didn't get shot buy over-zealous Rush fanatic. Count me as a Rush fanatic too.
*far from slavery actually. We were at home from each gig before 9PM, gear haulage didn't break our backs, all gigs were on tuesdays and wednesdays, no hangover next morning etc.etc.
Rock 'n' roll? Maybe not but I'm a closet book worm anyway.
