Thunderbird Club

[rodv66]

No pool at this house but sure wouldn't mind one. My daughter graduated from NAU as well. Flagstaff is nice until they have a heavy snow year. It is amazing how different the climate can be between here and a couple hour drive north.



That is why I live here. I can't take severe cold and would rather deal with the heat.

Perfect up there. Nice change of pace when is 112 in Phoenix

I've given up the ghost on arival time, it comes, when it comes.

The "edge of your seat" gets mighty uncomfortable after the first couple o' months... dunnit

Deep down i've mellowed a bit on it.
Will make for much more excitement when it does arrive.

Were you able to "secure" a white one at Sam Ash?

No sir, That was just a mild breakdown, as you had mentioned, i have one on order from SweetWater.
Still do.

Order another from Sam Ash. Convince yourself that you will keep the one that comes in first and cancel the other order. Then conveniently "forget" to cancel the second order.

Ah... I thought you'd ordered through Sam Ash...

But make sure you don't order the same colour... this way when you "forget" to cancel the second order you'll have 2 different Birds.

All good, just one for now, White.

Only thing withSam Ash is, they really don't know when theirs are coming.
I mean, your idea is good..................

I didn't commit.

 

[theFixer]

I didn't commit.

Pretty funny bro! If I didn't know any better... I'd say that we all want you to have your 'bird as much (or more) than you do!

I love it man!
Especially all the support.

We consider it enabling. We are good at that. N+1 and all. Since your current status is N=0, it's a completely unstable situation that begs for relief. And, clearly, you have taken things into your own hands and ordered a 'Bird. It's a sign of enlightenment.

Had i not dared to enter here, well, just glad i took the chance.
But i'm laughing pretty hard right now.
Who knew?

What i find interesting in my life of playing bass, and what i grew up on, is that i didn't know a thing about Thunderbirds till somtime in the early 2000's.
Very first experience was something i've mentioned here about an original Thunderbird II.
I was in awe when i tried it. But it was only for about 6-17 seconds, it seemed so special, feather weight in great shape, loved the neck. Wasn't for sale.
It was hanging in Portland Music as part of one of the owners collection.
The guitarist i was playing with at the time suggested i should check it out, that i might like it.
I loved it, but, i thought, no way can i afford something like that if i found one.
So it was a fleeting moment at the time.
Fast forward to now and me trying out some of the Gibson and Epiphone Birds has got me well beyond hooked.
No thanks to you all, only kidding.
But here i am, i will have that Vintage Pro.
Man, i love this club.

I made enquiries yesterday through my local music store (largish independant Gibson stockist) about the Epi Vintage Pro delivery and price in Oz. They are waiting for information back from the distributer. I will keep interested parties advised.

That's how it works. 'Birds choose you. You were chosen.
