Thunderbird Club

[Bent77]

Troll not, just enjoy.

Where's the sport in that?

Point being, some great people on both clubs. Much info and fun to be had. That's all.

If I wasn't lefty it's already be mine. Someone needs to swoooop it up!

I missed something, whats the OTHER club?



Figured it out.

That's MSRP, street price should be around $600.00

No good reason not to buy one of each colour then

Edit: It is a bit of a shame that they used the same body as the classic pro, not that there's owt wrong with it but being advertised as a "Faithful" reproduction of a mid 60s bird they could have changed a few things like say the headstock and the jack socket (I know it's better where it is). Maybe even offer bridge and or pickup covers as an option. Either way $600 is still cheaper than buying a classic pro and chroming it up

You did? You mean there are other basses than Thunderbirds? Shocking

 

[RedVee]

And in other important news.... Vegemite is back in Australian hands. Bega Cheese has bought back the iconic brand from Kraft foods.

A main ingredient of Vegemite is yeast leftover in the brewing process of Australian beers.

Look up Raymond H. Dietrich.

LOL. Hey, Michael... ever hear of Ray?

Oh, c'mon......

Besides, Hillerup was asking.

Geeze.

Just having some light-hearted fun. No harm intended.

I don't quite get the joke here...

I wasn't asking and do know about Ray Dietrich - I was just answering a request for a resource that detailed the development of the Thunderbird through the years...

The Beatles? Hate to have to tell you, but someone already used that one...

They were just a bunch of scouse scallies so it won't matter!!

 

[willsellout]

I'm GASing real hard for this stupid thing. I have spent very little time with T-bird types. Not even sure it would be comfortable for me to play. I just love the tone of T-birds in general and Lull's pickups in particular. It seems like it would be a long reach to the nut on these basses on a strap?

Only if you are shorter than 5ft.

Seriously, try one, they aren't longer, they just look it, I find them easier to handle than my jazz

 

[willsellout]

I definitely need to try one. That particular one I posted requires a lot of money up front to try...too bad I don't live in Seattle anymore. I could drop by Mike's shop...

 

[vdub75]

there's an epi nonreverse in sunburst on the bay round here.... get your fingers crossed! If i score it, it's gonna be made into a single (P-)pickup in surf green or blue...

Not a lot of Thunderbird love over at the Portaflex club...although a cropped picture of my B-15 is on their Wiki.

Error on my part.

More like huge fail.

I currently have all of my cases in 2 closets. Takes up a LOT of space especially with all of the Gibson and Hamer cases I have. Those cases seem HUGE!! My wife is not happy about that at all. But she almost never has to see the cases so it's not that big a deal.....to me.

This is the wall system I am planning on purchasing. Will allow me to get a lot of mine off the floor and up out of the way and free up floor space. Which will probably mean slowly adding more to the collection

That is a cool system as others have said and I need to grow my storage as well, but I did this a while back. Sorry the photo is pre-bird.

That is cool. Gives me some ideas for what to do as I convert the basement into the music room.

Those Guitar Hangers are nice. I especially like the diamond plate. Unfortunately, we have no wall space that I could use it on, for now anyway. Spot on with the Gibson and Hamer cases. The Hamer cases are like coffins!
