Thunderbird Club

[Stealth57]

This showed up in my email(N.A.). Gibson Non-Reversed Thunderbird Sparkling Burgundy W/cs (Used) | Reverb

Nice but 2 grand by the time it got to CA.

I'm pretty sure original AC/DC bass player Mark Evans might have a word with you over that. When he wasn't playing his Fender P-bass, he used the odd Thunderbird once in a while, and it was the one without a bridge pickup.

I’m learning more every day!

 

[Gaolee]

Are there any DI boxes that don’t work well with Thunderbird basses?

I doubt it. They should all do fine.

 

[GonePlaid]

A little bit of ebony T-Bird action.

Well Done! BTW, we're y'all gettin' down?

What wrong with this picture (ad):

Pre-CBS 1974 Fender Precision Bass black with Maple Fretboard OHSC | Reverb

A time machine solves all problems.

AC/DC with a '77.....Sheesh, 16 years ago!

Kickin'!

A time machine solves all problems.

Or maybe created this anomaly.

I just got the 5 string SIT power flats for $36 and change shipped from strings by mail. they sent me a $5 coupon.

they seem to have the best prices on SIT strings I have found.

Strings and beyond is who I usually use for Pyramid strings

who do y’all use for strings?

I had gotten the only other set of SIT strings I ever bought from Amazon.

Amazon still has the TI flats sold as “accordion accessories” for cheap. I didn’t care for the strings but lots do like them.

 

[Ringhammer]

I usually use:
just strings.com
fret nation

 

[Stealth57]

Anyone else having issues with Fret Nation? Delivery has always been fast from Jason but my last two orders haven't shown up. I had to cancel a Roto 88 medium scale set after 2 months of waiting and have been waiting about a month for some SIT Power Flats. I doubt it is Jason and more likely the manufacturers.

I typically buy strings from my local GC.

I considered ordering from Strings & Beyond, but I'm full up on 'beyonds'.

The 2 GC's near me(sorta)never have EBCFs-which last forever anyway. I got my most recent set(2814-45/65/80/100)from SW.

My local was stocking rotosounds last few times I was there and I think they regularly have ebcf’s in stock. But I haven’t been in there for at least a year or maybe two lately.

I usually have a few spare sets of strings in the drawer so I don’t look to hard at strings.

I’m in the music go wrong a few times a year and have no clue what they stock for strings. Been in there looking at drum stuff for the boy lately.

Wasn't somebody looking for a ripper???

Did you swing by Dog River?

No, but it's not that far. Maybe in the summer

Nicely done!

 

[smatanovic]

I’m not sure that I have the stomach to go through 14,000+ pages, but as I’m considering a Thunderbird, are there any post or posts that the club can point to when debating the merits of the through-neck versions versus the bolt on?

I’m coming from the world of bolt on neck, fenders, if that context is useful.

It's a great question - We encourage that here
It's the spark of a good conversation, there are many different Thunderbirds out there.
