I love those old Thunderbirds. When I was a kid a guy up the street had a hot rodded jet black '55, wasn't worth anything then, you could hear him taking off, 312 with probably a three speed, it was a standard though, never saw the car up close, I was a little kid.

I never saw the movie but read the book, great book. IIRC he had a big block Chevy convertible in the book.

Cadillac convertible!

Needs more bass. And possibly cowbell.

Ok, it had a repaint. Marshall must have been involved.

I have been learning really bad habits for more than 40 years. That means I will be a technique disaster forever. I hate to think what a real bass player would think of how I do things.

At least half the "real" bass players do whatever works for them.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Surprised none of you know this term.

Webtit for tat noun [ U ] us / ˈtɪt fər ˈtæt / something, esp. something annoying or unpleasant, done to someone because that person has done the same thing to you:

Also, that first word has almost got to be a PR0N site.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

In essence, yes.
But i will always encourage our freindly watermelon minded Tbird clubber to not refrain in any instance when deemed necessary or not, to post said images at will.

Why post them at Will? What did he do to you?

Somehow seems like divine intervention that I grabbed the white Eppi on white Wednesday

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Is he ready for this disturbed, deranged and very diverse bunch?

Why am I envisioning the befuddled muggle on whose land the Weasley's and Harry camped for the World Quidditch Cup?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Looks like you should be able to just get a black 3-point bridge & bolts (no need for inserts, it looks like), either from ebay/reverb/etc., or from a member here who may have an extra, and just bolt it in & do a setup for it. You'll still have holes from that claw, though......

Or a Supertone.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

So, we can put you down for a definite maybe...

I think Kara's a probably maybe. I'm the tentative maybe. Have we got a maybe maybe?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Probably

Ha! Called it.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Wish they would offer the ‘21 NR pickups in the pickup shop.

And the DeColas and the CP and VP/60 pickups.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Not that i need to clarify................
but, "will" translates to "at your discretion"

We thought your shift key was broken.

...*For those concerned about the wife, she’s actually pulling through the cancer challenge quite well. We’re in chemo for the remainder of this week, which will wrap up round four. If progress continues on its current path she should be out of the woods after the next round of chemo three weeks from now. Many many thanks to all those great club members around the world and their friends that put in countless prayers, well wishes and positive thoughts on her behalf.

We’re not done yet, but at least the light at the end of the tunnel is getting much much closer and it doesn’t look like an on-coming train.
...

Dude. This makes me SO HAPPY.

Someone please let me know if I’m really awake and posting or just in a drug induced coma. Had a DMV license renewal appointment at 10am and was out at 10:05. WTH?

Clearly got a fake renewal at a fake office.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Potentially a heck of a deal - not perfect but looks like a solid player, should go fast!

There’s an outside chance I could possibly be at the early August GTC, maybe. Depends on how the wife is doing at the time*.
If nothing else, I might be able to temporarily donate a couple of basses to the mix for folks to noodle on.

This truly is the best community on TalkBass! Rock on!

Very glad for the good report! Continued prayers for your wife, you and whole family.

Oh. Thanks for clarifying. I didn't know.
