Thunderbird Club

[kyral210]

Here is a modified diagram showing how to connect a switch to take the bridge pickup out of the circuit. I'm going hang a toggle switch out of the control cavity of my Orville for testing and if it's worth doing permanently, I'll install a push pull pot.

Modification: make you switch double throw. Position one connects live lead to the system, position two shunts the signal to ground. That will prevent clicking when remaking the switch.

Horseshoe?

yes -

That reminds me. We were in Chucks garage during the GTG last summer and someone asked me why I picked Engle as a handle. The first part of my answer was that I had just bought an Englehardt upright when i joined Talkbass. Then the conversation veered off about upright basses and I never got to the second part about running Engle cams in my air-cooled VWs.

Funny, because Engle cams were the first thing that came to mind!

Food looks yummy - that Mig looks almost cartoonish in its crudeness. Like a jet in a Bullwinkle episode. The one behind it looks a lot more, aerodynamic, for lack of a better way to describe it.

We had some funky ones, too.

I understand it’s all relative and has to do with where/how far away you’re standing, wind, etc but the only plane I saw flying that seemed louder than the 105 was one of these……

I’ve had F15s and F16s go vertical about 100 feet over my head- loud and hot. But a C5 makes them sound like toy planes at that distance. Painful. And that was not from behind (I don’t want to be anywhere near a C5 trying to go vertical).

I get the 'sloppy' part... but Joe's?

You recall the song “Timothy”? Now think Joe…

 

[MCF]

Pricey, but it has Lollars!

I'm curious enough to spend the ¥4500 on a taxi down from the Shin-Yokohama station just to check these out.

Putting a pin in this until August.

I wouldn’t mind getting one if it was about a grand less. I don’t have Lollars in any of my Tbirds. Yet.

I was driving down a 4 lane Highway a few Summers ago and the sky was bright blue...not a cloud in the sky. All of a sudden, brake lights everywhere and my favorite Jet aircraft flew over low enough to see detailed features of the Stealth Bomber. That thing is breath taking to see it flying. Almost caused a wreck!
I found out later there was an air show in the area.

I just checked out your Sean Conneries album, EPONYMOUS...Dang JIO that sounds good!
Kirstin Hirai has a beautiful voice.
I see you're also on Apple Music so I added it to my playlist...no commercials like on YouTube. Some good stuff!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World!

They’re on Spotify too.

I still love a good sloppy Joe. They were a staple at the dining commons at UCI one night a week. One would think that is a sandwich you can’t screw up. But they sure did. Never did identify the “meat” they used.

They’re on Spotify too.

I went through DistroKid - they take care of any copyright issues (since we cover copyrighted songs) and distribute to most all streaming platforms. (all the major ones plus ones I'd never heard of)

I need to play it through Spotify a few times so the songs will start appearing automatically in my mix. Spotify is how I have to listen in the car now. The new Subie I got doesn’t have a CD player. “Progress.”

My Wife asked me to hang something in the spare bedroom to add some color so I happily obliged since I’m a good Husband. Ha!

I live approximately 6 miles from Hill AFB where the F-35s are stationed, that is bar none, the loudest jet I've ever heard in the air. OMG, they are so loud, even when you can't see them, they are ear shattering loud!

Now I want to come visit your spare room!

The EB-3 gets a lot of grief for neck dive but those slots actually make for a well balanced bass.

They look like they have bolognese sauce as a filling?

 

[SubHuman]

I had to balance out the room since I’m OCD!
