Thunderbird Club

Super nice Classic Pro! Please be welcome here with us Funkengruuven, the club is a long conversation around Thunderbirds, join in any time you like, we encourage questions and pics, video etc. You are #913 here, again welcome! :bassist:

Thank you all who have welcomed me.
Thank you for digging my bass.

The T-Bird that got away.....64 single pickup sunburst... I have no idea why I sold it.
At least I THINK it was a 64, the years dim my memory.

I found the schedule. Doesn’t look like it during this trip. But they are playing El Segundo on Sunday the 20th. That is very close to LAX. Hop on a Southwest or an Alaska flight Sunday AM and I’ll pick you up. Could be a cool day trip. Maybe @GBassNorth can join us.

Marshall, I’m more likely to hit the Paso venue. I’m boycotting LA county as much as possible until they get their act together.
I think we have a club member in Paso, but I can’t remember his name. Also, not a far drive for Chucky either.
 
There's something cool about "an orange cat named Hank" that just jumps out. I think there's a funny country song in there somewhere. Country Punk, maybe? Can that be a thing?

The Beat Farmers = Cow Punk, I love them!

Ok. Let’s check in re going next week. You’re right re Chucky. But knowing him, he probably has a gig that night.

I do not recall the name of the Club member in Paso Robles.
 
YIKES!…….:spam:
@JIO quick….…….please fix!…

Ouch!
Is that the Greco? Second one of these hard tail failures I’ve seen in the last week. It’s an easy fix, just hope it’s not contagious. Beats the snot out of a broken headstock. Take the tension off those strings before it creates any more damage.

edit: brain fart, looking at the bridge obviously not a Greco.

I’ll need to check my wife’s schedule to see if I’m available for an over night stay in Paso. Will let you know in a couple of days.
