Thunderbird Club

Surprised it didn't have Hello Kitty like the rest of @WillyW 's basses.

And has frets.

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!

Congrats and welcome!

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.

Impressive, as always!

It's what we do. I'll go tit for tat over remorseful dealings anytime.

I don't get how something seems like a great idea at the time, but years later you don't see the value in that move at all. I suppose "Keep everything" should be the life-goal!

Yep, there’s a name for that. Horder

Whatever does the job.

its a bit more then just that.

Well it's not something you need to get, it's something you might experience: A frailty of humanity, an aspect that might, in another context, prove a facet of a strength.
People are complicated

That would make me crazy, so let's narrow it a bit to bass musical instruments and equipment!

I'm just gonna mention 3: a 7ender telecaster(I don't play guitar, but I got a good deal on it and I could play a few chords), a Firebird NR(got it 'cos I had ideas of putting together a group with matching Gibsons-didn't happen), a 66 EB-3(sold it 'cos I wasn't playing it-within a month I needed a SS bass).
,,!

That’s pretty cool! Cool situation and great playing!

I’m trying the Allparts lightweight lollipop tuners on this jazz shaped object. It’s got SiT steels on it. They sound good for rock, but going to try a set of cobalt flats.

I like the sparkle/glitter

 

[Stealth57]

For the Dano folks. I’m not sure the La Bella white tapes are the right choice. Too floppy. I know that EBCF won’t work as previous owner said they were too brittle to go around the small tuners.

Any suggestions for flats that will work and fit the sound of the Dano?

Both of those channels are yours? Subscribed to the first. I'm excited to see some T-bird action that isn't Metallica, Lynyrd Skynyrd, System of a Down, Muse or Marilyn Manson...

Scott has a channel. I think his roadie (some guy named Geddy) has one, but the roadie never posts here.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Brilliant cover! <3<3<3

Really?

Willy is far more than a Hello Kitty bass mogul.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Another more "trad" T-Bird thingy, using the neck pickup and Bad Monkey.

Dig this one extra.

Willy is far more than a Hello Kitty bass mogul.

And a man of mystery...though I can't say I have ever seen a picture, besides some toes...
