Thunderbird Club

What's the switch for? It only has a P-pickup, no?

2 coils…..can be configured series or parallel..,.

So I stand corrected. There is less than an inch of clearance for my VP but it still does not touch the headstock. Interior length is 50” at its longest. I just got this case this week so not sure if they have been changed recently. All I know is that it fits. View attachment 4794161View attachment 4794162View attachment 4794163Link Removed

My VP case has very little clearance in the headstock area. Yours looks roomy in comparison.

Rosa playing or threatening to hit you with it?

How old is your case?

That's a wonderful picture!

I learned the bass part few years ago and sang backing vocals. People love to hear that tune

That wasn't directed at me, but the case I have that also measures 50" in the same manner was original with a February 2014 Classic Pro.

I remember those b/w transmissions…..banked track derby as well…

I remember that. Saturdays there was wrestling at noon with the likes of Billy 'Red' Lyons, Rocky Johnson, and Haystacks Calhoon followed by the roller derby. Always fun to see 'Skinny Minnie' Miller.

Not sure if the Yorkville (Traynor) case is available in the states, but it’s about 51” on the inside.

The Hercules dual hanger works great even with just one bass.

You should always have one more hanger than you have basses. It serves to remind you that you need to buy another Thunderbird.

Cartoons were the "Life Coaches" for children in the day. And they worked. We all made it.
Oddly enough cartoons are for adults today. Not sure what that says.

It was cartoons that taught me that:
You shouldn't swallow a whole bottle of earthquake pills,
Roads that lead to tunnels should always be inspected before going through, and
Stay away from coyotes operating anything made by acme.

And the most important - if you don't study law, you will not fall after running off a cliff.

For weeks I kept seeing "news" about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez getting married, and now am treated to headlines about them honeymooning in Italy. I could not possibly care less (other than all the jew fuel), but thought maybe this must be really important to somebody (probably no one here) so I'm just passing this on.

Oooooh! Bennifer is back!?

Nope, can't even fake enthusiasm.

How old is your case?

I think I bought it in 2018. I bought the bass at the end of 2017 but they didn't have the case in stock at that time. Pretty sure I bought it late spring/early summer of 2018.

Why did Affleck subjected himself to marry himself to that egocentric, narcissistic, self-absorbed awful woman?

Well, someone is a fan...

Fortunately I can say I know nothing about either other their names and they are entertainers.

Well, "entertainers" might be a kind description. A better description might be what Anthony Bourdain would have called them - celebutards. I can recall that she was one of the "dance pack" on Living Color, which brought us some great entertainment in the form of Homie Da Clown.

LOL…UHF (upper channel at 833MHz) used to be an almost unattainable holy grail in comms……today 24Ghz (order of magnitude of over 25) chipsets used for radar on self driving vehicles is commonplace….

The early years of UHF were definitely amusing. You could go through all the channels almost anywhere and find only a handful at the bottom of the group.

Rabbit ears and loop antennas.

``I was really into TV theory and working on them as a teenager, and don't recall ever hearing of that brand at the time.''
Both of them? HMV ? Rank Arena?

Either one. If they made it to the US, I didn't run across them, or even references to them. They may have stayed in your hemisphere. I hear the electrons rotate in the opposite direction between hemispheres. They probably never bothered to do a reverse spin version.

Not my cup of tea, but they're great musicians.

The Pretenders were a breath of supercharged fresh air!

Jethro Tull at the Nassau Coliseum in 1974 ( Warchild Tour )was my first concert . I was 13. My mom waited in line with me for three hours to get tickets ! I sure miss my mom. Anyway I think Jeffrey Hammond Hammond was their best Bass player .

I think that tour was the only time I saw them, much to my chagrin. I missed the Atlanta concert, so one of my best friends and his sister (my ex at that point) took me to Chattanooga to see them. The Tull live experience was all I hoped it would be.

Don't really care about Affleck. Definitely NOT a fan of that woman.
