Thunderbird Club

[Engle]

Leigh Gorman is in an incredible bass player. I saw Bow Wow Wow in the late '90s and Annabella Lwin was amazing.

I played I Want Candy in my cover band. I can’t slap like the original, but I did my thing and it worked.

Plug it in and it is LOUDER. What more do you need to know??

Why? Just why? LOL

What are you going call him?

At the gym several years ago, one of the staff was wearing a t-shirt with this:

as he had done an event for them (for those that don't know, it is an anti-starvation charity).

I casually asked to what he intended to feed the children... The look was priceless.

Got neighbours? Want them to stop liking you?

Just picked up an early 2000s Gibson Thunderbird. Previous owner added a strap button at the top horn. Took a while to understand how the bridge gets adjusted, still not quite sure. Should the front screw be higher than the 2 at the rear? And what fretboard do these have?

 

[GBassNorth]

How does that thing work?

Put it in your mouth and hum… we are talking kazoos right?

 

[Engle]

I'd go for the one from Harold and Maude.

That was a great movie!

If not, then ahem.

My singer friend plays one all the time. (Well it’s an acoustic kazoo) It comes in handy when we don’t have any horns.

Nice! My 3 points are all pretty flat, but I have heard people say the front screw should be a bit higher.

Typically the front of the 3-point bridge is 1/8” higher.

Brass stabs on a kazoos an awesome idea! Now I want to form a band to do brass heavy soul and funk...

Start with entry-level weird like FM and Max Webster and work your way up...

To something like this?

Only asking $16k.

If only 100 times cheaper, even I’d be all over that

I’m with ya on this one. Never took the time to develop a taste for Zappa. Don’t dislike him at all, but truth be told, I can’t name one song he did and it seems like the few songs of his that I have listened to were more satire or poking fun at something.

Really only listened to one album, a mates elder brother had it.
Something about a mountain, a tree and I think a telephone box.
(Happy to be told what that was, Joe the Mountain maybe? Long time ago)

It is the Feed The Children logo.

I think the solo material is much more mainstream. Can't blame the guy for wanting some hit records to pay the bills.

 

[MCF]

I appreciate Dutch yodeling...

That may be the only exception. Ever.

 

[RedVee]

I can remedy that with cars instead: Thoughts on Buick Electra Park Avenue? Model below is from 1983

I like this one 2008

 

[MCF]

You don't like a good Yodel?

We’ll, she is cute.
