Thunderbird Club

[Butcherboy]

…my favorite Bach NR, bellycut, armcut and needs no strings….

Decided to order the SIT Power Flats for the VP. Only $31 delivered.

Like to hear your thoughts on these.

Good afternoon Thunderbird loving sisters and brothers. I have been away for a bit and am glad to be back. Thought I would post a couple of pics from our recent gig for fender Friday. Annual fundraiser we play for the Friendly Sons of St Patrick. Great crowd and great folks. I had the P for the 5 string songs, and brought the NR for the others. Sound on stage was an issue all night, and I was glad I brought a mish mash of gear. First time trying new (to me) Schroeder cab. Great sound, but heavier than expected and an abrasive, stucco like finish. I haven't decided if I should keep it or not. Great fun nonetheless and always fun to play out. Have a great weekend folks.

So that's why you aren't replying to PMs and posts.....

Once in a great while.

It depends on the Mod. I think Veronica is ours in the Mesa Club. At least she’s popped in there to stop some nonsense once or twice. But it’s a tame group over there.

I think the mods here are pretty good and fair, most seem to bend over backwards unobtrusively to keep it calm which I really appreciate.

What do they expect from an alien?

I’ll try a DI recording with both.

Yeah. She seems to really love her Sandbergs, though.

She could test the Sandburg bird for us though. What is it called? 48 or something like that?

It's anybody's guess.
I just happened to swing into this planets gravity.
The club sucked me in.
It's not my fault.

Some people I just find too toxic not to set on ignore. It's too bad that the forum software here deals so poorly with the ignore feature. Posts out of context that are replies to ignored people and if an ignored person is the last to post in a thread, it won't simply show no new posts; it will actually show the ignored post (you have to click to expand it).

I'm just a joyful troll in the GP most of the time. And don't pay any attention to the response or anything else. As far as I can tell from the few times I went back to see what happened, most of 'em paid no attention, but a few got the humor. So there's that. Being Alfred E. has its advantages.

Last pic until it's rebuilt.......

i remember when I was 11 or 12, only having to dial 4 digits to call my nearby cousin from Grandmother’s house in Fairfax, SC.

My mother's phone number in North Wilkesboro, NC was 19. That was in the 1950s. I don't remember, since I wasn't around yet.

Oh yeah, that rig suits you.

Since i don't have a Fender bird for Fenderbird Friday, decided to pretend it's Fender(-ish) and 'bird Friday

That's about the only J I would ever play. Mostly because it's the right color. I'm shallow that way.

I heard somewhere white is the best sounding finish, followed by sunburst, blk and pelham blue…

You heard wrong. Tone is entirely in the Burgundy Mist Metallic finish.

The TB Club mod seems really cool.

Got plenty of pine here. We’ve been ordered to at least knock it down. We’re on the local arborist’s list to get it done. Just knocking it down is the average price of a Thunderbird. To have it completely removed is about what V paid for her ‘63. It’s on a steep slope…Once it’s down, bring your saw and cut as many slabs as you want.

You can't just wade in with a chain saw and fell it?

I was born on the Egger route. Mom left Mars preggers and arrived here a few seconds later, baby in arms. Haven't been able to master using the Route, so here I am still.

We are a biker gang. Don't forget it. We are just a dorky biker gang is all.
