Weird. The ones I played felt amazing.

Isn’t this some of y’all’s favorite color?

Ah! KRM.
So for some reason I haven't been getting 'alerts' for TBird Club for about 25 pages. Trying to catch up. Congratulations to people who've gotten new basses, amps, pickups(bass or vehicle), and babies/grand babies. No idea WT7 is going on; it happened with another thread too.

Happens to me too. If I don’t see an alert in a few hours, I just check the website.Ah! KRM.

I like the flaming in your guard. I went with the more traditional tort on my ThunderCaster along with a reverse bird flying a Fender “F”. It’s meant to be controversial, equally despised by Fender and Gibson fans alike.

Such silliness... I've always felt akin to the spirit of the original hot-rodder's (of all persuasions but in this case specifically cars/bikes) in that those late 40s/'50s teens founded the concept. Create a thing, a thing made up of many disparate parts of other things (early recycling?) and make it f-ing rock and also make it uniquely yours! At that point who cares about the parts' brands? Brand X!
Those are North basses - that's the only important 'brand' to note.

Interesting Jeff - so is it a clear lucite pg with the red thunderbird printed (on top?, on the underside?) and you've layered a cool floral vintage wallpaper? under it? It's very Baroque...

ATC that seems very reasonably priced. I'm not personally interested, but it's clearly a top-notch vintage bass restored professionally to be a player by people who know what they are dealing with and how to deal it. A steal really for anyone at all interested. (no affiliation)

Ran a very informative player drill/exercise today. I'm lucky enough to have over the past 5 yrs now, been able to orchestrate pro-level recordings of our band. (visit the YouTube post above to access our recent 16 song release)... anyway.., what I did earlier tonight was play along with every track. With head-phones, but no amp on the bass I played while listening. This simple exercise helped me understand more about how & why I choose bass-lines, cadence, counter-point, tempo, in-front-of or behind the beat?, melodics., rhythm, colour, pressence, authority, tone... all of the above - in order to lay down those tracks. Studying yourself leads to understanding your unique voice.
Once something is recorded - it then has a specific, solid reference point, "this is what we were doing at this time & place in our lives" Sooo, to play along with your past self (even if only a few years) is really fun and informative. Also, keeps you sharp!

The material was intended for an acoustic guitar.Interesting Jeff - so is it a clear lucite pg with the red thunderbird printed (on top?, on the underside?) and you've layered a cool floral vintage wallpaper? under it? It's very Baroque...
So when I had it on originally, it was self adhered to the body.
And it looked much more red.
But now i put it over a white pick guard, and that’s really what it looks like.

There is a bug of some sort. The Thunderbird club is the only one I consistently get alerts for. I don’t get them for the Mesa Subway thread, the MLB thread, or the last albums listened to thread like I should.Ah! KRM.

Not helping with that "slide right on down" part! If you can't chew food, I'm kind of lost at that point.I like them fried too, but having them on the half shell is just good, they slide right on down nicely
And you missed Marshall swearing off anything blue. That was a big deal.Ah! KRM.

(You know that didn't happen.)
Was going to just send to Geoff, but everyone should enjoy this. My cousin is pushing me to buy a "fun" car from the past. I had a pretty burgundy one of these, but with a 318.
