Been awhile.

Hey! It's our rotten kid! How are you these days? Good to see you.

You can always get a new bass instead.
Gibson Custom Limited-edition Gene Simmons EB-0 Electric Bass - Ebony VOS

May as well buy another LPDC and mod it. You could probably do 5 of them for that money!
For me buying a new bass is much less fun than buying an old one that needs work.

Dude! Welcome back!

 

[MCF]

Are you going to be able to see him anytime soon? I did see a local sign advertising him being here, as you mentioned some time back.

As per above. I sure hope so! I’m always up to see Neil. And especially with The Horse.

Another New Bird Day!
Arrived last night expertly packed and shipped from @saltymonkey (best packing job I’ve ever seen by a long shot!).
Beautiful BaCH II +1 in stunning aged white. Looks like a Gen1 - tummy cut, no forearm contour, originally a single pup bird but nicely converted to a two pickup beauty with Chinabuckers, a bit heavier than my blue Gen2. It’ll be a spa day today - level frets, set up, restring, deep clean and fine tune.
Here she is…

And BaCH to BaCH with my soon to be upgraded (with Eppi or Gibby pups) blue bird…

Right now they sound very different (due to different pups, wiring and strings) but once I drop the new pups in the BlueBird I’ll see how it compares to the ChinaBucker BaCH. I might eventually string one up with flats and the other with rounds, but for now I’ll put the same strings on both to see just how close the pup difference is.

Sweet! I'm jealous!

It’s only been a couple days or so hasn’t it?

Busy would be an understatement, but I’ve been alright.

Congrats George! I can’t wait to play them. And I can’t believe Salty let it go.

Dude! Welcome back!

Thank you

Great. I hope nothing gets in the way of that happening. Nothing like seeing a band we dearly love.

Yeah. In Thunderbird Club posting days.

A couple of days...That's only about 10k posts here!

You make a very good point!

Does anyone know what a Studio V is going for these days? I’m thinking about selling mine

 

[PillO]

Imagine PillO and WillyW in a Rambler station wagon, crossing the continent. It would be an epic movie. They would stop off and play two Thunderbird shows at every rest area.

I'm kind of a bitch to travel with. I don't know if Willy could put up with me.

Did someone say… station wagon…

yes that is me driving.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

What's the signal chain there? Love all the clips you post, tone is so meaty and articulate. It was your demos that sold me on the Suncoast HD-1, which I now have as an always on. Kinda want to get another, and frankenstein them into a single case so I can use a single footswitch to flip between the Boost and OD.

Oh, @Chucky Stiletti what's the story on the Blue bird? I missed that, happened to send the post M&M Guitar bar posted on IG to my brother this morning! If you ever feel that white Bach is weighing you down, I might know someone interested in adopting it

refinned 65(4?) someone in the club posted and I snagged about a week ago….is your brother interested in that white BaCH?

It's great that billy is well enough to tour again. It's lame that he's not coming to Houston, though Austin and Dallas are on the tour..

As per above. I sure hope so! I’m always up to see Neil. And especially with The Horse.
