Thunderbird Club

Hang that from the upper bout and headstock for some serious neckdive!

Lol I still have to order a stand and mallet, baby steps.

One of those kinda rare times when a cover is actually better than an already great original!
Ale makes me want to get out my Spectors more often. Hmmmm, a Spector with Tbird pups and a HazLab preamp, might be interesting. I might have to start a search for a nice used Legend 4X as the mod platform.

Spector did build a one-off with a Tbird pickup.

Sweet Spector Rex5 Pro Tbird on Musicgoround at a decent price. Possibly a rare color as well…

I believe red is a rare color for these. You usually only see black or Holoflash in the wild.

And here’s the video, now with close to 25,000,000 views, that got them on their way. They were so young.

I remember when that came out. They were all already better than I was.

Our new drummer for Who's That doesn't have a gong, so I decided to take matters in my own hands. Paiste 32", I'm still sorting out the stand. Every bass player needs a gong right? View attachment 4985160

I have a brake drum, a bunch of metal things to hit, rototoms, and some other things to bang and make noise. But no gong. It's a failing. Everyone needs a gong, not just bass players and drummers. Brake drums are great, too, but for different things.

There are reasons the 70s aren't universally missed.

Hey guys!

I don't have my bird around these days, but eventually I will

In the meantime, for those who like to check some of the music I play, here is this #offtopic

Oh yeah! Wish I could dance like Chuck.

 

[Nocturnal]

yours?

No sir. I cannot afford such custom goodness.

One of my first "crushes" back around 1976 was a big BCR fan. It's amazing how far you will compromise your principals in pursuit of the fairer sex....

In retrospect I ended up dating her sister who was a Manfred Mann's Earth Band fan.......so there's that...

New project parts coming together. I'm thinking maybe no on the neck, maybe all black. Also wondering about installing toggles for the coil taps, don't know if it's worth the effort? Opinions?

If I mod the Goth, maybe use the Tigerwood neck on it?

I would do the coil taps (at least the neck pickup) with a push/pull pot. I find it useful on my Les Paul Tribute.
Agreed no on that neck





 

[bylar13]

I don’t have permission to see it either. Could it be a sign? Jeff recently mentioning he might want one again and now you getting another one is giving me GAS again. And I thought that was in the past having tried several and not finding one that felt right. I really need to resist.

Congratulations!

Thanks! The difficulty with Ric is that like Thunderbirds they can all be a bit different. Its tough to try them in person. I realized I prefer Rics from 85-97. I like the necks, string spacing an build quality. YMMV.

Is it me or that fashion did not age well...

Goths make excellent FenderBirds !

 

[Bassmike62]

Man, to have been a props hand on the set of that show, the stories they must have ! Didn't one of the "judges" flash the others at one point ?

Wayne Shorter is gone. What a great musician he was.

Hey that looks familiar! Looking forward to seeing the build come together.
