Thunderbird Club

WBW, it’s after 5.

Not a member of this club, but he was one of the good guys. Rock on, @EatS1stBassist .
References to his daughter's posts (among others): Fender Rumble Club
He was a gentleman. Inducted into the Rumble Club by Linnin himself I see. I sadly lost track when I cut that club from threads I watched.

Yep. One of the good guys.
 
I made me a base peddle bored…

I kinda have the overdrive pedal on there just because, but the rest I do like, but don’t necessarily need. but I like octave, envelope and phaser…

LOL - at first glance I thought the pedal just above the toe on your left foot said “Small Toe” :roflmao:
The power of suggestion I guess.

As far as bass pedals go, I was particularly impressed with the quality of sound from this one…

@JIO brought it to the GTG along with a reverb pedal that sounded equally good but I don’t recall the brand or model. Either would sound very cool with a fretless.
 
Gibson is selling Thunderbird cases. Oddly, they only seem to come with black interiors. No shroud. No original or TSA cases, though they sell those for a number of models.

Shrouds have been gone forever. Until recently they offered both the brown and black Tbird cases. Now it looks like it’s black only.

I just bought a TR-2 tremoltoe, today, I added it to my tri-amp bored…

 
I may be stupid (it's rhetorical, no need to answer), but I made an offer on a 1981 G&L L-1000.... The guy is an hour away, so we'll see.
It’s actually a great buying strategy!
If you can find something local that costs maybe even a bit more than the best deal you can find nationally, make the local seller an offer and be sure to note that you’ll pickup locally, no need to ship. you’d be surprised how many sellers dread all the hassles of shipping things and will usually cut you a pretty sweet deal to avoid those hassles.

My first ‘serious’ bass was an ‘81 L-1000. Such an awesome sounding bass! Stolen around ‘87 but man I’d love to grab another one day.
