Thunderbird Club

It's been a couple years for me, not really feeling the need to buy more right now, may even let one or two go that I don't play enough.

Maybe bring a Rickenbacker back into the fold?

A 4001 would be great, I really miss my old '73, selling it was really a dumb move on my part. There are some other Gibsons I'd like as well, not for my band - just to play at home or possibly post "Nasty Habits".

Just remember to steer clear of those ones that just go THUD !!!

The G-3 reissue that's in the Gibson Bass book spent some time at my house before I shipped it off to Uwe, what a cool bass! That, a Les Paul Oversize and an EB-3.

A nice little Les Paul Double Cut or a Money Bass?- fine basses.

The G3 reissues are great and a litle Ric like in their tone. Yes I like to OSB Gold Tops too.

Like this one, except in black. It's hard to tell but it's bigger than the traditional one. Big bass for a big girl!

I liked the gold Casady ... for the 15 minutes I spent on it. If I had a five bass limit that would be slot 5.

A very cool Greco, bet it's a 7ender killer.

True story:

One of my colleagues is a bass player and yesterday I dropped a link to the eBay advert for my Italia in our skype chat and told him he should buy it.

Straight away another colleague says 'Why? What's wrong with a Fender bass?'

Not even a musician and an enforcer for the heard!

I have been playing the upright so much that I don't have too much urge to buy another bass. Plus there are the projects. Does finishing a project count? Funny thing is that if I sold off some bass guitars, I could probably have another upright, all set up for rockabilly slap, with the kind of clicky pickups and feedback killers I don't have now. But that's not going to happen because I'm perfectly happy with one big fat violin. Same with the drum kit. I have two of them, play them a lot, and don't want any more. Bass guitars? There's never enough. There's a moral to that story somewhere, but I'm not sure what it is.

For what its worth, I had a really nice Ric 4003 for a couple years. I played it a lot and liked it, but it didn't tell me I had to keep it. Then I got another one in a trade and thought maybe it was a sign, but that one went, too. I haven't ever let go of a Gibson, and only let go one Epiphone. It's not intentional, but they just never leave once they are here.

I tried one of those in my quest for a semi-hollow body. It plays really well, and that transformer that changes the impedance of the pick up can really generate some great sounds. It is physically much larger than other semi-hollow bodies, but that probably accounts for the great sound. I keep looking and wondering if I need another semi-hollow body. Of course, I continue to wonder if I need another Thunderbird too. I'm not planning on buying another bass, but if the right one came along...

Only problem with the one Greco listed above is that it's from Japan. By rights now, because of the new CITES regulations banning exportation of rosewood, you have to get all the proper importation documentation together in order to have it shipped across borders now. What a pain.

Ya know I sleep with 5 of them in my bedroom.........

Gotta live near the ocean. I need me my shellfish, especially Oysters. Raw, straight out of the water.

Yep... been eating like that for 5 years and all my medical conditions and concerns cleared. Doctor is thrilled... no meds... I've never felt better. Carbs kill.

Did you follow Atkins or something else? This guy needs to thin down.
