Marshall, is today your birthday? If so, a very happy B’Day to one of the coolest TB cats out there!I’m committed to a black one that’s in excellent condition. Just trying to arrange to pick it up! Happy Birthday to me. And I’m excited to be getting it! It’ll be my fourth black Thunderbird. I’m slacking since I only have three blue ones. Maybe Veronica and I need to have a talk…

I thought it was extremely helpful.Well that was…about as useless a piece about strings I’ve ever read.

LOL - I launched the link, saw the long winded write up, scrolled to the meat and potatoes section listing the top five flat strings, and after reading it I shook my head, no new news there.Well that was…about as useless a piece about strings I’ve ever read.
Update: OK, unboxed, looks good, sounds good but the RW's have gots to go. Gonna leave the stock strings on it for now. Not sure the EBCFs are still any effing good after all the 'tuning' on the 'mooneye' bass(tuner ends are kinda kinked).This AM 9:30-ish. It'll wait 'til tomorrow. Too late to play it now anyway.

Marshall is @MCF and it’s his birthday today, so wish him a great one!Who has a birthday today? Also who's Marshall? Is there a way to add nicknames so I know who's who?
Repairing it would be outta my league and SW offered to replace it. No brainer.Must have been a punky piece of wood. Good call returning it.
Two members of the Bay Area Jug Band! With Marshall on beer bottle and Geo on bass. Tearing it up on a CCR cover of “Down On The Corner” from the Willy and the Poor Boys album. Not shown in this photo are band members Chucky on tubes, Alien JJR as lead singer, and Doo Wop Girl and back up vocals staring Queen Veronica.California days!
