Thunderbird Club

[Gaolee]

I have been playing the Flamingo through the original 360 stack lately. The band I just joined lost their rehearsal space, so they are down in the basement for the time being. I sure don't mind not having to go anywhere. Anyway, the Flamingo sounds pretty good with Cobalt Flats and Thunderbuckers through that stack. It could use a bit more bridge pickup, though. I need to do some work on it to get the pickup raised up.

There was a specialty store near me that carried all kinds of original formula drinks.
Was.

wonder if Cuba has Coke the way we know it…

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

When we were kids and were sick, we'd be given 7-Up to drink. Not sure why... southing?

Rosa hates 7-Up or Sprite for that reason…

7-up, ginger ale, Sprite, etc. Try them warmed. Pour about 6-8 oz. in a coffee cup; microwave ~30 +/- seconds.

Probably. I think they have access to sugar.

Vernors ginger ale is good stuff. If you can find it.


Oh yeah, it's great while playing Thunderbirds....

I agree. Thankfully they sell it in grocery stores here. Not big on sodas but I do love ginger ale/ginger beer.

Thunderbuckers and EBCF’s
I love them! But having the sidewinder in the middle really make this a growl monster.
The kind of midrange I’ve been looking for.

I imagine it (the 360) does sound good. I can't image how glorious it sounds with some volume in a big room.

Tab was the only drink on site.

There was no muddy water....or urine?

For the record, I've had neither, but am just guessing those just might be two better options. Just sayin!

Same, if we had any. I always preferred 7-Up as it seemed less sweet. Sprite can be a little much at times for me.

Yes, it's pretty good. Not always easy to find even here.

Probably. I think they have access to sugar.

But still might not be able to afford it.

Cool story....

just as we say "easy as pie" I've heard "easy as coca cola" in some countries..

Jeff, you have any clips of that?

Hatuey or Goya Malta became an acquired taste since I lived in Miami.
