Thunderbird Club

[Gaolee]

You mean there are more here like me?. Thats awesome!

Where else would any of us find anybody else remotely the same anywhere besides here?

Dovewing wondered to himself, perhaps he even went beyond the norms of acceptable means. Maybe he hired private investigators to locate the owners of the basses, including people that weren't willing to sell, because who would want to sell a sweet frost blue Thunderbird or Firemist gold NR T-bird? Then if the owners refused to sell he had hit men take them out and made it look like a suicide but not before forcing them to include Geddy in their wills as the benefactor of their precious bass.

It seemed likely as Getty was one to be 'mentioned' in the same sentence when speaking of certain guitar collectors 'disappearing'. No-one considers Canada to be a hotbed of the underworld, and that's just the kind of consideration that Getty appreciated. To anyone who cared he was a rock musician, and as such just 'happened' to have a very rare collection of Thunderbird basses. It's said that he had axes that even Big John didn't have when he was among the living. To guys like Big John and Getty - those who die with the best toys win, and since his passing Getty floored it on securing the rarest and most valuable T-birds to be had. Yah - he had moles that's a fact. Dovewing had crossed a few of them on his sordid professional path and they always scurried into the shadows like the slimy rats they were. What'd he care, no-one was hiring him to 'get-to-the-bottom-of-it" - hell, how does one get to the bottom of the bottom? No, Dovewing could care less - in fact all he cared about at that moment was buying another pack of fags and getting a bowl of chowder at the local greasy spoon.

Absolutely nowhere

You missed a couple of opportunities to make that mangled sentence even more confounding. Fixed it for ya.

Another error corrected.

You don't say!!

Sssoooo... you have stage lighting in your bathroom?

Doesn't everyone?

no... no they don't

OK, everyone should have stage lighting in at least one of their bathrooms.

It must be a Canadian thing.

And full band setup, why stop at just stage lighting?.

My drum throne is my... other throne

 

[Korladis]

Ok, i've gone a bit to far, good night.

Or not far enough?

 

[Stevis]

Troll was capitalized, properly.

I have only been there once but I thought that overpass looked familiar: where the concrete Troll lives. Isn't the "sound garden" visible from nearby it?

It's cool, "Some Like it Hot".

So it's not a bird, but it does growl like one

It is a copy, i did an unboxing video. Link within the link above xD. I've explained my pros & cons with it. Just thought i'd share my New bass day

You have just made this sleep deprived man very happy!

 

[JJR58]

Could cause a stir @Sartori.
I'd get banned.

 

[JJR58]

For some reason I read that as eggplant. Lol
Hmmm, still good advice. Eat that eggplant one bite at a time.

Beautiful!, don't forget your greens.

And the price, with VAT included, is comparable to what we'll pay on this side of the pond. Everything is pointing to a successful launch for Epi. And some of what they showed at the summer NAMM shows an interesting expansion of the bass lineup. It's always good when we have a variety of choices between competing makers. Everybody wins. If Gibson gets back in the game next year, we'll have some real GAS pain.

You're right, where the Fremont Troll lives The "Sound garden is a few miles away, not visible from there, on the grounds of the former Sandpoint Naval Air Station.

I miss this so much.....................

To be honest, unless I win the lottery, I'm pretty sure I'll never own a Gibson, but I'm so pleased that I'll be able to get the vintage pro for a reasonable price. Now I just need to decide whether to go for white or ebony, and hope that my local shop gets some in soon so that I can trade the Tokai!
