Thunderbird Club

[Rickplaysbass]

Yes, Ice Blue is just as it sounds - a cool blue, similar to Fenders Sonic Blue.

With a metallic edge to yet. I'd just like to see them next to each other to see the difference up close.

Got mine the last Friday, used it at rehearsal last night, sounded great. I am also very happy with the way it plays, much better than I thought it would.

Let me know if you'd like a club number - Great score there!

Has anyone seen those new Epiphone 64 tinderbird bases?

No.

I swear these things just seem to find me.

that’s a good superpower to have

Got mine a couple days ago! Minimal tweakage made it a fine player...scheduled a rehearsal to try it out in all it's bell-bottom flapping glory. VERY excited. The last one I had ('89/90?) had lead weighs shoved in a cavity and was almost impossible to play, this one balances nicely (I am better balanced, too) and rings like a bell. Looking forward to the first gig with it...all hailView attachment 5384905 the "Silver Machine"!!!

Very nice!
Congratulations on that Bird! Let me know if you'd like a club number and I hope you'll share your impressions of it with us too!

I like it but like you I think it would look better with a black hs face (with red border/perimeter) -

I'm going to airbrush it black and gloss it at it's first string change.

I read there's 25,000 wraps of wire...I wonder how long that actually is and no I'm not unwinding mine to find out! Ha!

Assuming one winding averages 4” around, that’s 8,333 ft. If a winding averages 5”, that’s 10,417 feet. So almost 1.6 miles to almost 2 miles (or from 17,112 1/7 femters to 6 pickles in metric).

I’m long past 27, and 44, but I will say it’s notable that when I was 27, and +/- a year, that was the time when things in SF we’re awesome, ‘92 through’95 or so, and I was having WAY too much “fun”. But I lived through it.

My most dangerous years were a lot younger. Fortunately I got away from that lifestyle.

Just do it!

 

[Engle]

So, a real mudbucker would be that actual size? Sidewinder? So, just making a single coil to look like a mudbucker externally? Might explain why it doesn't sound muddy, just very lows oriented.

I have a couple of mudbuckers. They fill the cover, but the cover on yours is bigger.
I'll take pics when I'm home.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Too lazy to look.
Have these been discussed...

Thunderbird '64 | Epiphone

Thanks

Yes, and we sent a review in your name to Epiphone.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

All it says is:
Classic eye-catching, auto-inspired custom colors. And that it's Gloss.

Without giving away the plot or ending, I will merely note that yet again, Epiphone’s photos do not do those colors justice. It’s like they live for self-sabotage.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Seriously. Just use F1.

?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Which says absolutely nothing useful. I guess we just have to wait until one of those chooses somebody we can ask.

@Godofthunder has already done a review or two, and the Queen owns one.
