Thunderbird Club

[Miles_ONeal]

True but I was thinking of it relative to just the initial bass sound. Stripping off the unwanted/unusable lows and then using the Quint on what remains. Maybe I will flip them and see if anything changes.....

Did you ever try that experiemt?

I saw Sweetwater is “blowing out” the ebony models. Pretty good price drop, but I’d like to support my local store if I can. Maybe I can to haggle tomorrow…

There’s this demo straight from the factory…

Looks pretty clean.

Happy MLK Day to all my Thunderbird loving sisters and brothers. Waiting to take off for a conference in Puerto Rico. Saw this image on the seat back monitor! I hope all are well and the new year is off to a great start .

what amp? watch where you leave your cell....

Thanks. Seems more much more noticeable with the Ampeg all tube head. ABMs there, but much less noticeable.
Cell is in my right front pocket--basically right behind and maybe touching the control panel cover.

I have a spray can of mil-spec conformal coating somewhere if you need it. Or just pot it in RTV.

Yeah there's an idea!
Everyone here gets the humor, butt I can only imagine someone from the gen pop browsing and running across that and running off thinking they found a great solution.

I’ve always had this thought about artichokes. Who looked at that thing in the ground and thought it could be eaten?

Yes they don't look edible that's for sure. About like a cactus.
I had and artichoke sandwich from Penn Station last night. Fortunately they cut the pointy ends off!

 

[dagrev]

It could be a resistor (pot in this case). A low voltage cap is unlikely to do this but I guess it’s possible?

Thanks. The pots are what was in and I didn't notice anything with the old pups. The cap was replaced with the better one Matt sent with the pups.

 

[dagrev]

McOysters??

That's just wrong. Really wrong.

 

[dagrev]

And clean living.
Yeah, right. I can't even type that with a straight face.

It's OK, we all knew you were lying your...Thunderbird off.

My Dad said the bravest 'man' in history was the first one to eat an oyster.

Most starving (per Chuck) or most drunk. Pretty sure it had to be some kind of dare. Or food for captured enemies.

 

[dagrev]

I've never tried Limburger, but I'd try that b4 a urster.

Its' good on crackers with various soups, etc. Some eat it as a sandwich with onions. Just don't sound like a plan to me. (Bad grammar intended.)

 

[dagrev]

Maybe...

Nope.

I saw that. B&W looks great. I liked the price but has some finish issues that would turn me off even at that price.

Professionally repaired?

"Professionally repaired"? But not by a professional.

Ultimately, it took 15 emails, 4 phone calls, 3 separate shipments of sewerpipe-size mailing tubes plus one return of same, two expeditions looking for screws that don't actually exist under the given name, around 16 weekend hours going up and down a step stool as well as the staircase between the garage and the 'practice' room, and something more than twice my original intended spend...

...And a solid month from inital order to completion...

...but the DiamondLife EMX aluminum hangers are up, solid, and populated.

Quizzical instructions like this made it a bit if an adventure:

As did an early encounter with substandard Home Despot screws deciding to break off in the wall, forcing a complete reposition of everything

...but persistence triumphed over adversity, once again.

And my prototype pigsuede 'Rock and Roll Hanger Pants' are up to rev 3 beta test...

Final result of the project is really, really good, but wow, what an adventure for "wall hooks!"

Looks great!

My dad could fix that, He's got an awesome set of tools!

Time for Mike's annual shower? (duck and run)

It'll work once.
