Thunderbird Club

[bobyoung53]

Just like LA.

I didn't know that, didn't they name smog after smoke/fog in LA during the 60's?

Let’s do this!
Playing on a bigger stage tonight, so there’s room for the VP.

Is that a 210av on the bottom?

 

[bobyoung53]

The one in your avatar dear.

Maybe add this to the set list with your new band.

"It's a funky situation"

I saw them in 1977 at a big outside concert in upstate NY with the J Geils band, Black Oak Arkansas, and Blue Oyster Cult, I had never heard of them prior to that.

 

[Stealth57]

there’s a club??

More formally called a Thunderbird headstock.

We are having the hottest stretch in Autumn for 20 years. I guess we are balancing your weather!

Today is 35c now, on the way to 38c at my place. My little efforts cleaning up out side are really a struggle. I do 30 - 60 mins then come inside to the A/C and some cold water and have a bludge for an hour or more… then back outside.

38c is 100.4 f, and it isn’t summer anymore. My footy team was up in Brisbane last night. According to the commentators at the start of the second half the temp has dropped a bit but humidity has risen to 82%. My team faded in the last 10 minutes worst luck, but I would have faded just sitting in the grandstand.

It's been wicked hot out here too, very unusual, it's usually starting to cool down a little at this time of year. My wife heard something on the radio today that due to the jet stream we might not have a winter this year, that would be very nice but I'll believe it when I see it.

French girls everywhere hate you now.

Don't care, lol.

I'm about 8 weeks out from my first show back after the covid break....... What basses to bring?!

Either the Early Bird or Greco, and a bird that matches whichever dress you wear!

What does the hive think, black clover tuners or black y tuners?

I like the Y tuners but maybe that’s just me

 

[Stealth57]

Wow, that's a gorgeous bass! Is it expensive? Can anyone tell me the model number? I'd like to hear how it sounds.

I paid $250 including the original case. I think they were meant to be cheap, starter basses. I was surprised how nice the pickups sound. That one is supposedly a National but several brands likely made in the same Japanese factory.

Looks like a 70s Teisco, likely a short-scale. Not so special, except as the mark of an era.

I think this one likes the Ys.

I would have skipped the game and kept heading north to Noosa.

Go big or go home. The '64, of course! That thing needs to have a gig and you need to experience what it does at a gig. Unless there are concerns about it still being your bass after the show. Safety first!

Pull a Blues Brothers and cuff the case to someone’s wrist.

A Brooklyn band from that time.
And that sounds like a cool show.

upper 90’s here and way humid… miserable…miss CA weather…

 

[RedVee]

Ok, I’ve given up on the gardening for a while. 38.5c (101.3f) now. That’s enough for me.

Where are you?

 

[RedVee]

I would have skipped the game and kept heading north to Noosa.

Or stopped the car on the Gold Coast and forget about the extra hour drive to Brissy.
I stayed home.

It was, I think Blue Oyster Cult had had their 'The Reaper' right about that time, it was the first laser show I ever saw. The J Geils band were always good. Dictators I don't remember that well and BOA not at all, I wonder if they opened and we missed them. I would think that I'd remember Jim Dandy at least.
