Thunderbird Club

I am crushed. One of my all time favorite bands is Rilo Kiley. They are doing a reunion tour, seventeen years after their last tour. I missed the initial announcement and reasonably priced tickets. They’re playing SLO and Ojai. I can get tickets, but they’re like $500 a piece. No way can I justify paying that. Snooze you lose I guess.

One flew the nest for Bakersfield and this one finally landed today. As for the pickups: wow!

I tried for over a year to land a TB-900. Just never happened. Would love to compare that to a 64 II.

who says I don't smile.....

Kinda hard not to smile when playing that bass on that song!

Ah that's better

I do love me a nice trans finish! Congrats on the NBD.

I have the 1977 sibling, and all I can say is - WOW is an understatement!

If you take it a step up, you might want to consider putting these on the seats.

No need for a fan at the Basement of Bad Ideas. The 7’ ceiling has the dents as proof.

You sir are a pro.

Ah that's better

Much better.

That’s a nice looking II Chris. Congratulations! Can’t wait for the Bicentennial to land here.

Since I'm back in the hunt for 760s...if anyone happens across any while stalking the interwebs, please let me know. I'm not going to wait forever to finish the '66. So if nothing turns up by Summer I will just buy some Gibson's most likely.

Even better, did you see this! It’s not an Eppi it’s a Greco…

Pardon Our Interruption...

For that price you could yank the Greco pups, install some ChinaBuckers in the defanged Greco and sell it with full disclosure for at least $300. Thus making your pup purchase a few hundred bucks at most - and you’d have the stompinest vintage bird out there.

Ha! I was just looking at that. I will give that some thought.

Girls like me and fast cars............................
What could go wrong?
I'll be there mid September for your block party.

I say buy them now, have them shipped to me, and I’ll send you the set out of the broken VP. Sound like a fair deal? It does to me….

Can we settle on exact dates now?

It might be best option. Or search for a damaged Embassy - you know, like headless or something, not like that near spotless example you got the other day.

It's actually a pretty nice day here in Seattle, Thunderbird Thursday on the Best Coast!
