Thunderbird Club

That's a good year, my birth year.

1976 not 1876

A couple new Bird-related Spector's turned up on Facebook today.

Three Lollar Tbird pickups

And this beauty

Hey, somebody's gotta buy y'all's bases for the prices you told your spouses you paid for them someday.

 

[GBassNorth]

But I have dresses that go with the Jackson!
I honestly don't know what it's worth either, did you play it? I can't recall.

Darling, if you sell me that Jackson, I’ll post a picture of me in a green sequin dress holding it. That’ll be a hoot!

I’ll throw in a fiver to see that.

@Engle makes accurate T-Bird decals. I wonder if you could line one up and have it fill the embossed pattern?

I’m not sure that would work.

 

[MCF]

I’ll throw in a fiver to see that.

I would rather not see that. Sorry George, no offense intended.

Uh My God. I did not need to see that.

It's this bass, one of 6 from '86. '76 pickup.

There's another as well, I don't have a pic of it, but it's in The Gibson Bass Book.

Love it!

Can’t say I’ve ever pulled the prints, but having been a safety engineer (Fire and Life Safety among others) I will say that I have a habit of quickly summing up the fire sprinkler coverage, emergency egress and occupancy limit every time I enter a large crowded room for the first time. There have been lots of bars that I turned around and walked out of because they were too packed, didn’t have nearly enough exits, and little to no visible sprinkler system.
Think Beverly Hills Supper Club - 165 killed and 200 injured as it burned to the ground during a John Davidson concert.

Good thinking. I alway look the place over, look for exits, sit facing the entrance and try to sit somewhat near an exit if possible, for fire--and other reasons. If packed I will go elsewhere.

Ignore the dust and dirt I have been too busy driving it to detail the 32 years of grime…. I blame the flash for making it look worse than it is…

I saw that movie Anyone But You on the plane. It is ok, better than I feared but could be better… pretty watchable fluff.

A lot of it is set in Sydney, so I thought I better add some advisory notes:
It is NOT advisable to jump / fall in the harbour from a boat. The water is clean enough these days so there are many more fish in there these days…. many more of the critters that eat the fish as well.
It is NOT (even more than NOT) to leap from a cliff into the harbour or the ocean. Many that try that do not live to regret it… the others that may survive it may strongly regret it.

Higgs particle….huge deal…RIP

Wait. Did he invent particle board?

 

[WillyW]

Wait. Did he invent particle board?

yes and he designed my particular bored ‘66 Kalamazoo..

It will be awhile before that II happens, but I think it will. I just don't want to be sucking food out of a tube at that point. I think you're younger than me, so at some point (hopefully not soon) when I can't play them anymore the Lull and all the rest except maybe the '89 will get sold.

Well, I sure won't wish ill on anybody. I want to buy that Lull from you when you are fully capable of blowing whatever exorbitant amount it is worth on another Thunderbird that will see Nasty Habits stage time. And I am not much younger than you. I was just born to be a crash test dummy, which means the damage doesn't show as much.

I wanted my HPF back on my board, so I ordered this afternoon the mini version of my beloved Sonic Research Turbo Tuner ST-300 and it's already been shipped. Great company and great product. I've been using the full size (MXR-size pedal) for eight years and it's been fantastic.

In my best George Takei voice...... "Oh my!"

 

[Miles_ONeal]

More snow than Seattle has had in two years!

It’s either the 3rd or 4th snowiest winter recorded in Anchorage so far. It’s supposed to snow a little tomorrow. Overnight lows will be in the 20s (F) some of the nights I’m there next week.

 

[JJR58]

Is the finish on your tuners black or black chrome?

It’s called cosmo black.
