Thunderbird Club

[MCF]

Hello all- I have my first Thunderbird on the way and wanted some suggestions on gig bags.

Some suggested much earlier in the thread the Gator Pro Go- does that still stand?

Also is it the standard one or a special model? I ask because they currently list only one single bass bag, and a double bass bag-

Which Thunderbird did you get?

 

[MCF]

Well please wish that kind gentleman a Happy Birthday from me.

And from me too V.

So. With the good grace of @Chucky Stiletti
Here is what a Sidewinder sounds like.
Oh, it's a quick, down and dirty try.
But this is for @Count Bassie

Sidewinder and tone control wide open.
No Thunderbuckers engaged.

Awesome!

The crazy thing is that this one was like that for a long time, too. So there's more than just this thread. I don't remember what iteration this thread is. Veronica knows, though. And already laid it all out. I sure can't keep up.

It's either part 8 or part Omega, depending on how you choose to think of it. The first post in this thread notes that the previous thread was pt 7.

My Queen, was it always you handing out numbers? I perused the first few pages and found no indication the TC originator ever posted again, much less responded to number requests.

Our tiny little SG/EB thread is clear up to 499 pages
Oh part I

it’s the hated midbucker….

The (unofficial) Greco thread is up to 9 pages.

We have more trips to Hollister in our future

Happy Birthday Frank.

Happy Birthday Frank.
10th?

Its Franks 10th birthday?

 

[RedVee]

Its Franks 10th birthday?

Ha! I meant 10th January?

Congrats! I love my TV Silver. Tuners on mine are ok.

I was all set to pull the trigger on a white Epi CS when I realized Willy hadn't sold the red Greco and was thinking about it again. The white Epi was listed at (IIRC) $350 but is an hour and a half away (without traffic), so call it $425 with mileage. But RED GRECO!

Frank is cracking me up in that shot - He's a birthday boy today

Please tell Frank Happy Birthday for me!!

Looks like Frank was going full Elvis.

Good ads. The Lamb board have been making these annually for many years. All with Sam as the main man.

Yes. I love mint sauce with lamb.
But I also love lemon, rosemary and garlic.

Hey guys. Ive done bought me a 76 thunderbird, and it's missing the pickup cover.
Any idea where I could get a spare part or accurate repro?

Yeah. That’s a really good price for a LE CS. When your wallet is feeling flush again, get one with those pickups. You’ll like them. Great basses.
