Thunderbird Club

[Gaolee]

Teflon tape did the trick and less bulky. Fixed and now back in action. Anyone ever seen this before? Something must have rattled around on my trip back home from the GTG. A lot of hours for a simple fix.

No, I haven't seen anything like that happen before. It's almost like the insulation on the hot lead got damaged somehow.

How cool is that! That's awesome, and he got to meet Grady too!

Tell me about it. Ken even asked if I could bring Grady so he could meet him. Can't get much better than that.

That Precision suits you whether you wanna hear it or not.

Did look kind of natural with it didn't he!

What does an eternal optimist say on his way to the ground after falling out of a 30 story building?
Well, so far so good!

And the pathological optimist enjoys the view.

Yah, I remember that pic - $700 was a steal. Oh well.

A steal years ago even!

From you, i'll happily take my slap.

Was it at this point that I goosed you?

You two know this is the Thunderbird forum, right?

Cleaned out an old drawer this morning.

Some chums and I, CA. 1988.

I still have that same NY Dolls t-shirt from the 80's.

Thats great that you got to meet and hang out!! Was @BklynKen in town to dive into one of them cement ponds??

A steal years ago even!

In the mid-late '90s G&L's usually sold for under $1k, $7-$800 usually, sometimes less. Same with Kubicki Ex-Factors. I owned a couple at those prices. Gradually they've both gone up and now anything close to $1k for either would be hard to find. Both have stood the test of time as good then (a steal at those prices) - still good today (still worth the higher asking price).

Yes! Wonderful to meet Grady. I asked if Donnie could bring him along. So glad he did.

The neck was very comfortable.

Also, I swear I'm not missing a tooth. Weird how it looks like that in the pic.

I use BOSS and MXR pedals primarily.

...and more recently a couple different brands on the amp side (into the MXR bass d.i.+) -

MXR and Boss are mainstays for mainstream pedals. I loved EH for years but had two pedals go bad about the same time.

I dunno. Maybe claim it and be that really tough, scary dude from Brooklyn.

they wanted 700 bucks for this at a pawn shop in Eureka, and Rosa kept insisting I get it (when does that happen?) but just to heavy for me…..should have bought and sold it in retrospect…..
didn’t know they were so highly prized…

When your wife says to buy, you should listen!
