Thunderbird Club

[Dr_Feelgoood212]

Not much musical knowledge of the 90's but 1992 had a great album, and the bassist (Rex Brown) has been seen with a Thunderbird

A person can be a little bit pure, or little bit evil... but I don't believe you can be a "little bit pure evil". That's like being a "little bit" pregnant

ok wisenhiemer. i'll let you slide this time..........

it would have cost more than the bass.

Fret level and crown is a two hour job at most, usually takes me around an hour.

A complete refret is no more than $300 almost anywhere in the USA...$200 in Gainesville by a guy who's top notch.

You couldn't get near those kind of prices here in NYC.
At least not that i know of.

Setup, dress, level = $550. I might have to move to Gainesville (...now you're scared)

$200-$375 around here. The latter being Alex Lifeson's luthier I believe.

Come on over Kat, be great to have you in the states.
You just have to choose the right one.

My favourite bit of the North American continent is British Columbia. I do make a good Key Lime Pie.

I'll talk on the year 1990 as that is the page I'm reading- who knows what page this will appear on.

1990 was a very big year. Wedding, changed employer, moved into our first house and welcomed our first child.

That's all from Jan-Oct!

A good portion of it is in flames.............At least the smoke is drifting east again!

You really don't want to get me started. As a general rule of thumb you should remember small tins will fit in larger tins. All sorts of tins are good - oatcake tins, shortbread tins, tea tins, biscuit tins and Gibson pick tins.

The only sorts of things which can usefully be stored in an Altoid tin, I do not partake thereof.

Coiled up earphones fit nicely in Altoids tins. Especially the round ones. And I've seen people make headphone amps with the regular Altoids tins.

This was discussed with the luthier when the instrument went in, but 1. in his considered opinion it was not necessary (and he reserved the right to change his mind once the neck was straightened out), 2. it would have cost more than the bass.

Definitely worth it when getting a gorgeous custom built premium bass from a grumpy bugger what lives in a swamp ... not so much on the dust covered runt of the litter which has been languishing on a sale rack after some clown dropped it on its head.

The weird thing is -- and this is going to get all @Gaolee for a moment (gidday Will!) -- the NR41 sounds red and the Epi sounds deep, dark and rich, like proper 90% dark chocolate (not that pale stuff that smells like sick).

My preference is the dark chocolate sound.

Funny story. I saw Pantera in Brazil in 1993. Fast forward to 1994 and I'm in my last year of college at SUNY Albany and hanging out at the punk/metal bar there. In walks Pantera, on their night off on tour. I talked to Dimebag Darrell, telling him I just saw them the year before in Brazil, and he says, in a thick Texas accent, "Cool, man. Is there a tit bar around here?"
