Thunderbird Club

[bobyoung53]

I loved it as a teen, and I still appreciate as an adult - a fine example of late '60s psychedelic pop. I also like how they all looked/dressed - Sid Barrett looked totally mod.

I wasn't bashing it, it's a great tune, just a weird one. Very well written and performed.

The white Thunderbird talk reminded me of this new vid with Nikki:

...right? Having spent time hangin' with Mark earlier this year just makes me smile seeing these pics! I hope to eventually attend a NH's show in Seattle to see V in action!

I wish we could have seen you play while we were visiting - that said it won't be our last trip down that way!
I would be most honored to have you attend a show, we are rehearsing pretty hard and things are looking great for 2023!

The bassist mostly played Danelectro Longhorns if I'm not mistaken, most of the videos I've seen of them has the Bassist playing a Longhorn.

There’s one by his fridges.

Happy for you!

I knew you weren't bashing it

Why they discontinued white is one of life’s mysteries.

Probably something totally bizarre - maybe Gibson just found out white paint causes cancer in California so they halted sales.

 

[Gaolee]

That’s right, yours is a Tbird shape body with P pickups and neck I think

Exactly.

 

[Gaolee]

Thanks man, and here's the picture in context.

The guy with the beard and the belly is me.

You can draw!

It’s (presumably IRL) roadworn, or at least bashed around while playing. I need to get back to work, but am stoked to tune it up and play it. It feels light.

Found it! So you got Mark’s Greco. Very cool Miles.

More like white paint would cost them 5c extra per unit or something

My guess, having both a 2013 Reverse and NR, is that the Reverse is D and NR is C. But maybe I'm oversimplifying.

If the reverse is D, maybe the NR(RNR, NRR, ?)is downtuned.

 

[GonePlaid]

I’m sure I’ve seen him with a EB3/SG

Ah! But has he seen you?

 

[GonePlaid]

always wonder where that name for a harmonica came from…

Couldn't spell 'harmonika'.

 

[GonePlaid]

Only thing against the Grolsch washers is that they're probably a PITA if you're taking the strap off a lot, like for putting in a case. I do every time I put it in my Gator case.

Each of my 4 basses has a dedicated strap. They only come off when necessary.

Amazon has a fretboard radius tool kit for $10, just saying. I'm going to go ahead and buy myself one which will get to me on the 23rd.

otherwise it will be on my porch for a couple of weeks.

Or not.

 

[Thumper]

Or not.

Right, that was my concern, but they said I'll get it on the 23rd, we leave on the 25th, so theoretically....

Who's the one with the horns and the sharp-looking mouth?

Gibson's track record of poor life choices?
