Thunderbird Club

They are alive when the chef “shucks” them, that is opening them up and carefully cutting them free from their shell. They are then placed on half shell on a bed of ice and brought to your table, raw, fresh and a good source of zinc.

You're no lawyer that's for sure. That wasn't compelling at all! I started getting funny (queasy) feeling with "alive." But I'm happy you do enjoy them. My multi has plenty of zinc.

Thanks a bunch. No birthday cake for Donnie.

Fine. But I'm not sending the nice present back.

I've seen folks return them because they didn't shrivel when they squeezed lemon on them....

There goes that reflex response again....

I found these for the birthday boy. Thunderbirds on the boots, right?

Carbon Fiber Friday? At least partially. Chalk it up to laziness but I wanted something easy to grab from my perch at the music workstation, and that's easy to manipulate in front of a computer desk.

And they accommodate what's currently on the agenda- one song that needs a fretless five string and the other a four string in Drop-D tuning-

So's this:


Seriously, for those of y'all that like 'em, you can rest assured I will NOT be cutting into your supply.

Nice bass! And nice strap and extender! Where did you get them?

 

[Count Bassie]

@Stealth57 I hope it's a good one anyway! May someone know today that it's good that you're here. Have a great birthday.

Thank you kind sir.

 

[Count Bassie]

Thank you kind sir.

Sir was my grandfather!
Have some fun mang.

Good demo of how location is massive. As much as the pup itself if not more so IMO. But it all comes down to preference. There's no right or wrong. Unless it's my bass, in which case the correctness is transcendent and unarguable!

 

[Nocturnal]

Nice bass! And nice strap and extender! Where did you get them?

Thanks! I bought the strap from Sweetwater a couple months ago. No extender, it was all part of the strap. Seems well made.

The Epi is clearly the Lurch of Thunderbirds.

(Lurch was an extremely tall butler on the 60s program The Addam's Family.)

Who is the Lurch here?

Either the Far left Gibson because it looks taller than the others. OR the Bach because simple, elegant, black & white - pretty much like Lurch.

Which EMG's did they install (coil configuration and size)? Yours look like they might be 35's or 40's as opposed to the HB's generally installed on Steinberger XL series.

3 -15/16" x 1-7/16" - 9v pre - that's all I know... whatever Steve Klein used in 1992.

Sounds fabulous, as does this one - my custom Supersonic has EMGX pu's & system - EMG makes great sounding active systems, and their passive Geezer Butler P/J set is also top-notch.
