Thunderbird Club

[TBird1958]

Jackson TBX.....number please.

Very nice!
A rare Thunderbird, one of only 56 made by Jackson before Gibson rattled the lawsuit sabre. Is this one black? I ask because in certain light my green one looks black. It looks to be in really good shape too, new to you? This only the fourth one I've ever seen, I love mine, as bass it's Razor - the term "cutting through the mix" barely describes this bass.

I'm at work just now and notes on which page the list is on are at home, I'll add you ASAP - Thanks for posting!

And I think you end up barred from owning a 7ender.

Er... Sorry, Bro. Check my Profile Pic on FB.

The Good News is that both my T-Birds are back on the firing line with Hipshot Bridges installed. Go me! haha

If you're going to do an inversion, why not, "He who must be obeyed"? No?

No one around here with any lust for life is giving you a "Like" for that one, bro...

Lol.

To clean amd protect the wood? Yes.

Oh. My other nice basses have finished fretboards, so I didn't even think of this.

More like the Hotel Washingtonia with a smidge of the Lost Boys.

But Lost Boys was filmed in Santa Cruz, California. Watching it was basically a freshman tradition at UCSC.

Sadly, the only footage of our show from last night is super distorted from the volume and low end, and also de-synced from the audio:

'71 P that I'll own until I die and a Squier VM '77 Jazz for me.

I got a '73 jazz (my avatar). Same Deal. The T-Bird is s different tool for a different job.

I think of the bass mostly as a rhythm instrument, and I played drums first, though I was quite young. Point is though, I play bass more like a drummer- I think more that way, anyway- than a guitar or keyboard player. You'll not see a lot of chopped noodles coming out of my kitchen... but I do love a handy phrase sitting cozy in it's pocket.

Play drums then! Seems to get over, mostly!

Never studied drums/percussion but I feel this way also. I love the interplay with a good drummer, especially when they play more musically.

Cool.

Since we are talking "other" basses, has anyone ever played a Gibson Bass IV from the late 1980's? The all mahogany/set neck w/ t-bird pick ups in a sort of p/j body style has me curious....

I would love to find one of these!! I have never even seen one in the flesh.

I have never had the chance to play one. I have heard them referred to as a T-Bird in P-Bass clothing by people that own them. Would love to try one someday.

You guys appear to be owning the place alright, audio quality aside! Live is tough on a small device.

Love my new T-Bird and it's getting heavy use right now but I've never been a one brand type.

We are actually working on booking in Indiana (not sure where ) for a Fri before we play in Savannah IL for some big deal with a GNR tribute.

Not barred from owning a Fender, just teased periodically.
