Thunderbird Club

That right there shows at least some bass players get noticed by the ladies.

it’s the TBird Dude!……should know by now….

Sorry guys, I have to sell my white Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro. It's in the classifieds. Nothing wrong with it. It's in excellent shape.

For whatever reason, it made me think of the Pixies. This vid was about the same year I saw them in Dayton Ohio - lived in Cincinnati then. Had a 'back stage pass' through a local college radio DJ friend.

Rubbing hands in anticipation!

It’s going slower than anticipated with all the other priorities at home right now, but progress is being made. I hope to have it temporarily wired up this weekend to test a few different control options, might post a progress pic then. Once the controls are settled it all gets disassembled and the body gets shipped to one of two guitar finishers for a metallic gold mist poly finish.

The latest forecast for our mountain place:
“Between 2 and 5 feet of snow is expected, a figure that could even reach 7 feet above 4,000 feet, according to the National Weather Service.
Six to 12 inches is expected between 2,500 and 4,000 feet, and 1 to 6 inches is expected between 1,500 and 2,500 feet, the weather service said.
The storm is also bringing rain to the Southern California coasts and valleys, and strong winds are in the forecast for the mountains, foothills, coasts and valleys.”
Our place is at 6,000 feet. I’m glad I’m off the mountain.

That’s a lot of snow! I lived way up in the Colorado Rockies at a little over an 8000ft elevation for a few years. I’ve seen plenty of white stuff, but I gotta say as pretty as it looks I don’t miss dealing with it.

New Nut Day!
It may be my imagination, but the bird sounds more resonant with the Tusq nut…
.

That’s saying a lot. That BaCH was easily the most resonant bass I’ve ever owned. Unplugged it sounded almost like an acoustic bass.

Always love some Pixies and Kim!

1. it’s the TBird Dude!……should know by now….

Exactly. Thunderbird or doghouse and we suddenly have charisma, in spite of being bass players.

I don't know what is up with the number. Phone glitch. It has lots of glitches lately.

There's a green NR in the Mod Shop.

Not normally a 'green' fan, but that's cool. Just in time for St. Pat's Day, too.
If "The Prize Patrol" shows up-as they keep promising-I'll buy it and use it one day a year.

I like it! Already have 4 green basses

 

[Thumper]

Those are the recent DeCola pickups. They are fantastic pickups. Somebody will be happy with those.

Does anybody know the dimensions on these? Asking for a friend

That color is a stunner. To bad it's a NR. Actually, not really. I don't have the cash floating around to buy it. It gives me ideas about what color the fretless 'Bird really needs to be.

 

[Gaolee]

I don't, but then I could measure one. It's not like I don't have one to measure, between the '15 Thunderbird and '13 EB. Only problem is that I get distracted and don't get around to anything.

It's really nice. Curious what that blemish is from between the bridge and the pickup. Looks like maybe they drilled a hole in the wrong place (ahem).

This was when the first hit and were big, around Surfer Rosa - her parents are from Ohio (possibly Dayton) and were back stage. Kim looked like she was possessed with her eyes rolling back in her head as she played her repetitive/hypnotic bass-lines. She had a very unique way of phrasing.

Very cool interview.

 

[Stealth57]

Well, sometimes we do get a dusting at close to sea level...
