Thunderbird Club

I have several basses out here and kind of rotate them, when I get sick of one I pick up another etc. I've also still been experimenting with tone settings, techniques etc. This morning I picked up the NR, turned the tone up to ten, set the Ampeg to a lot of bottom and treble, cut some midrange and started playing it with a fairly heavy pick with Rotos on it, man this thing sounds good! It has that piano sound.
I am doing a gig maybe twice a month, blues, the guitarist is good and the crowd while small is very appreciative of the two gringos and one Peruvian playing blues, drums, bass and guitar. He actually liked the T-Bird.
 
Kind of the same with me. I never had any bad strings, but tried other things for years. Tried them again a couple years ago and they are perfect for some basses. But I have really been enjoying SIT Power Steels of late of a couple basses. Can you get those down there (reasonably)? Worth a try sometime.
Power Steels and Thunderbirds are a match made in heaven.
 
That blacked out Casaday bass looks great!! :thumbsup: This is still my favorite color for that bass:

A man of good taste in color.
 
@MCF that Peavey bass fell through. The guy gave me 12 hours notice to drive 120 miles round trip in commute traffic to meet him at 8am the next morning. I asked how long he would be there and the smart arse said 1 minute. Post now says sold. Too good to be true? Likely.
Yeah. Too bad. Sounds like a real d**kh**d.

I check CL once in awhile. Funny thing is, the only luck I’ve ever had with it was buying my Foundation. The seller was Doyle Kurtzinger, the Buckaroos bassist from ‘69 to the present. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Peavy gave it to him hoping he would use it on Hee Haw. But that was when he was switching to Fender five strings so it sat in his closet for over thirty years. The setup on it when I got it was the best setup I’ve ever experienced and I haven’t had to change a thing. Amazing low action.

I like it! Simplifies everything.
Van to haul gear - accessory
Money to buy gear - accessory
Wife to consult with prior to gear purchases - accessory
Divorce Attorney- accessory
Alimony payments - accessory
Bankruptcy Attorney - accessory
Booze to drown my sorrows in - accessory
All makes perfect sense. :thumbsup:
What about laid off insurance defense attorneys?

Every attorney is an accessory until needed then they become a necessity.

Pardon my ignorance, but just a thought - since you probably know the insurance defense part inside out and backwards, if the insurance companies aren’t hiring is it feasible to switch to a claims advocate attorney? Seems like there’s always a boat load of those types attorneys advertising on TV.

I want to reply, but then I’d get banned.
