Thunderbird Club

[dagrev]

This is my ZZ Top holiday night light that I made out of 1/4 inch male jacks plugged into switchcraft jacks and powered by 12 volt DC.
Hats are random volume knobs.
Guitars and drums are shaped copper wire..Sorry,I wasn’t doing Thunderbirds back when I made it. Cheers!

That's cool.

One of 4 songs recently recorded at Chabot Collage - rough mix, working title "Quelquefois" (Sometimes) - Paul original, Kirstin wrote the lyrics - will do fine tuning after the holidays.

Well done and nice playing.

more of an existential thing…..one that makes me very happy to be alive when I look at one of these…..

All you cats posting pics of IIs must be rubbing off. I played all but one song with just the neck on the '64 Sunday. Not exactly the same as a II I know. Pics like your's, Marshall's and V's are going to prove costly to my wallet one of these days if I"m not careful....

I like Peggy just fine. But there’s something about Kristy.

Can you people knock it off? My wife thinks thinks this is a Bass/Thunderbird forum.




Or at least spread the pics out a bit more judiciously.

I see her husband at the batting cages every so often.

Is this where it's risky to bring up Gilligan's Island? Asking for a friend.

 

[dagrev]

OT but I think an interesting piece of history. Somehow Google directed me to an old Facebook post by Billy Thorpe (died 2012), of him and the Aztecs, Johnny O’Keefe (Aussie ‘King of Rock n Roll’ who died near Elvis’ death) and the Bee Gees @JIO performing on Aussie TV in the mid 1960s.

ok, we’re on….Rosa’s turkey vs my prime rib of beef……

Hate to vote against Rosa, but this looks fantastic!

 

[dagrev]

Red cap for tri-tip, ribs, and chicken. Brown cap for Prime rib. And the fajita spice for, wait for it, fajitas. Blue cap for those watching salt intake. Pappy’s spices are the bomb!

So this is really good stuff? Going to have to find some of this. Not a West Coast only thing is it?

 

[dagrev]

When I served with the WACS in the Phillipines...............

The serious looks makes it even more funny.

Yep. Good stuff. Made in Fresno. They ship from their website and their store on Amazon. But it’s more expensive. $10.00 for the commercial size in stores. $20.00 off the web.

As stated a few(?)pages back, I've been playing my IV as a II for so long I honestly can't remember the last time I used both-'cept here at the house to refresh my memory that the bridge pup-or pot-is very weak.

The relatively new 45-100 EBCFs are settling in nicely and as an added benefit, are putting(pulling?)less stress on the neck.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for it around here. Many places sell a huge selection of rubs and maybe I can grab some when out.

Me too

"The choice of Retail Meat Professionals"..........
That's a band name, right there, Retail Meat Professionals.

I usually play with just the neck pickup. Like almost always.

Thank you for "Getting it", I was beginning to think no one would.
I did actually find time to put on a decent dress today....

Stockings, I love 'em.

 

[WillyW]

Nicely done!

I would really like a fretless. I've played a few and liked it, but have never been willing to cough up the $$$ for one.

I’ll bet @WillyW will walk you through DIY.

it really only takes a Saturday afternoon start to finish.

my most complicated was the ebony sapwood and Brazilian rosewood slot fillers on my 21 NR. BUT I didn’t use a CA coating so I saved that step.

thx for the heads up Marshall, hadn’t heard of this stuff…

I got it. In fact I was gonna say that I thought you preferred to shave, not WACS.

 

[GonePlaid]

I'll bet a coupla bottles of this would make a good marinade. Although I kinda like drinking it.

I was going to ask if she preferred shuttling A-26s to B-26...
