Thunderbird Club

[JJR58]

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

Coming from one biker to another.

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

I always dig a good J.
With my usual mod/s.
Doesn’t mean it has to be a 7ender.

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.

Border! Missed you. I know what it’s like. Have a great weekend!

Once in a great while.

You son of a gun.... Where's that ignore link when you need it? I know it's here somewhere....

 

[dagrev]

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

Sure is a great color.

That is nice, kind of a night sky vibe going on.

It comes in white also - looks like that Christmas cotton "snow" with colored glitter in it.

Well I’ll be a dirty bird! There are a lot of our club members there. Guess that says something about the kind of people in this club, and probably the sheer volume of posts here vs other clubs.
Who knows, in the next dozen years TalkBass (TB) may need to rebrand itself to ThunderbirdBass (TB).

There are very few threads on tb I visit; Basses [BG], and Luthiers Corner are pretty much it. Other than a couple personal (private) threads.

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

I'll say!

The TB Club mod seems really cool.

Until things get out of hand.....

Seems like this thread is also a frequent one for you!

Yes, like a few others of interest, it's on Basses [BG] I also have a few popular threads I've started over the years.

hummm... a bit of hair-splitting there Jeff... As you are well aware, any "J clone" references a Fender Jazz Bass.

Yes, nice vibe here.

You came up with and recorded that in one day? You have talent my friend. A lot of talent. And the bass sounds awesome.

Thanks dude, wanna see the bass in question?

Meet the Monster.

Made it from a piece of construction lumber I bought at a local hardware store, the Pickup comes from a Fender Sting Signature bass and the dead strings give it this really cool "OOMPH".
