Not very often anywhere I’ve been.
I made this free sampler of my stuff. The name is a bit ironic or isn't if you think "hit" as an action.
But it's free so anyone can grab it at will. Some T-Bird playing there too on the track 11.
Like the sign I made for my office.It’s like when a southern woman says, “bless your heart!” It can be caring or sarcastic.
My Sunday morning listening. Always great!
Scott is the inventor of the BadBird Bridge which allows for better intonation on vintage thunderbirds. At least a couple famous Thunderbird owners have bought them. Scott has a pic of him and Geddy holding a bass with one on it before a show.
So you're not taking up bass left-handed? We'll have to settle for a cool bass you come up with instead.

Is that some kind of "man" bar out your way?
I was scared to even google it.
Came yesterday. Soooo nice to have them back on the '64 Reverse.
Cool! I have an Epiphone hockey stick headstock neck that's very nice. I hope to make a Mockingbird body for it one day.
Likely a lie of 1 or 2, so better be for field hockey. If you know, you know.
I lost two porcupines?
It’s very complicated, but a pair of troglodytes will come to you.
Assuming you’re not nude.
Assuming my translations are correct, what a strange conversation on a bass thread.

Interesting, basically a slab reverse body with a deep cutout for fret access, a wonky non reverse pickguard and a reversed headstock neck.I tend to not like the various bastardizations of the traditional Thunderbird shape i.e Schecter, Dean et al, with the exception of Peter Cook's creations and Carlo's recreations for JAE. I don't know that a II was ever done, but I do love this shape, especially with the blocked lefty neck, in fact moreso than the tradition TBird body.
Looks familiar and different at the same time, the pickguard gives it a kind of mid century modern vibe. A Nash Metropolitan color scheme from that era (i.e. light Turquoise body with an off White guard) might be interesting as well.
In time for Thunderbird Thursday, many thanks to George for sending me these Apex Traditional Cryos. I gave them a really good workout at band practice last night and really liked them. Right up there with the Power Steel. They're basically the old DM Blue Steel. Definitely gigging them on the 25th.
not big into restomods but this is pretty trick....TT.
I was wondering where you’ve been. Glad you checked in.
