Thunderbird Club

[Stealth57]

Most of our (few) gigs are at Elks Clubs or American Legion Posts. We occasionally ask each other "Is this the 'Big Time'?"

If they throw in ribs and beer, you’ve made it.

Sounds like an eclectic venue. A roots band follows you from 10:00 to midnight. Then a DJ to 3:45. I'm tired just thinking about it.

Dafina Roots Band was a fantastic West African band.

 

[BklynKen]

Great show tonight as a trio. Other guitarist is in Japan.

Bass player plays Jimi style?

Two leftie bass players on the same bill? Wouldn’t see that every day,

If you missed that last stupid deal on the 412B Hercules stands, it's back.

Sorta. This guy played with the heavy strings on the bottom. I believe Jimi could play that way, but usually played with the heavy strings on top. Interestingly, two of my basses came from lefty players who strung them upside down.

PITA following guitarists that play like that...

That's MonoNeon style.

 

[Stealth57]

That's MonoNeon style.

I'm so confused.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

That's MonoNeon style.

you can hear it too, ascending lines are faster (seem smoother) than descending ones...

Yup, it's trippy! I'm also not a fan of capos.

Fretless Friday it is!
My only fretless bird. Just wrapping up the mods on this one (it donated its fretted Wenge neck to my Warwick Bird build), needs a bit of neck geometry work still to get the action where I like it, some side dot fret marks so I can play it easier and a reshaped headstock, but it sounds fantastic with the roasted maple and rosewood neck…

It's a wonderfully figured neck, love the raw wood feel of roasted maple…

Agree. Can be frustrating when you look over for a chord and you get that.

at least you know the position with a capo...
