Thunderbird Club


I played this actually bass at the Sarasota Guitar Show yesterday
So I thought that it was a cool take on the Thunderbird unfortunately I was playing it through a very small Phil Jones combo and it was a loud room !
I did not care for the neck profile or the feel of the aluminum neck and graphite fretboard
I found the neck felt sterile for me
It was very cool looking and definitely built very well but just not my cup of tea !

Houses are for sale here. Want me to start looking? ;) A couple even in our neighborhood would even be better. And think of all the capital gains you would have after selling there and buying here. Retire and build and start an amp repair shop and work when you want. Gas savings alone would be a huge pay increase.
 
Is the drummer a claustrophile, agoraphobe, or identified as a sardine?
He's actually a really big dude making it a tight fit. He is out due to illness for several weeks. Yesterday my little Sudanese friend for 25+ yrs filled in and only played the cajon. He's runs about 6'8" and close to 300lbs. The plan is to redo that whole area and move my amp/cab the more the center of the platform area. If we don't merge or somehow change things up.
 
Pretty sure it's first team to win 4 games (out of 7). Women's college world series apparently has a mercy rule where if you're (I think) 10 runs behind after 5 innings, the game is over. Does anyone know if the men have that?
I'm not sure as there are about 4 teams involved(?). Maybe it does boil down to the more typical best out of 7 or 5, or.... I think of world series (which never involves "the world" as being two teams but college seems more like a playoff and still called the WS. Weird to me.
 
I am! College ball is fun. Your school has a special program.

Some on here follow baseball casually, if at all. I think Will and I are the only true diehards. I bleed Dodger Blue.
Tampa Bay Rays fan here. We send youse guys our 'star' pitchers so y'all can break them. :smug:
 
I do a drop per fret, then gently rub it in / clean off excess.
Got the Peavey punk stick oiled up, looks pretty good! Thanks for that... Got a bottle of bore oil from Sweetwater. I think I mostly liked the term "Bore Oil", it sounds like an item found on an old garage tool shelf. 😎
Now, what do you guys use to clean mung off a fretboard? I've got some white vinegar and an old bit of
Scotchbrite here...

"Bore oil" makes me think of cannons. Loud. low frequency noise that will rattle your walls. I used it on guitar for years, too - more rifle bore thoughts there.
 
Some more fun from the weekend, this song is a bit deceptive, seemingly very easy until you break it down into parts and realize that it changes subtly all the way along.



I love how tight the stop-time is. That's a sign of a band that's in synch, and I love it. Plus, there was an audience member who got my attention a bit. That's always a bonus. Yeah, I'm shallow. I may be married and old and harmless, but I'm also not dead or blind.

The Rays and Mariners have been frequent traders back and forth lately. I'm not sure who comes out ahead, but it seems like they are happy to deal with each other. But, it doesn't matter. As a Seattle sports fan, I'm used to a certain amount of failure. It's like being a Cubs fan, only spread out over pretty much everything.

You know who was there that I hadn't seen forever? Mandy Vale, if I recall you know her too.
