Thunderbird Club

[MCF]

NEW BIRD DAY!!!
Ebony 2013 Gibson
Couple hour drive (still in Canada) paid roughly less than $950 USD
Besides not having the proper knobs, some pick marks on the upper wing, and needing a setup, it's in good condition.

The more ebony I see, the more I'm thinking that's what I'll go with on vintage pro.

It supposedly is going to track to the west side of Florida. But we know that could change.

Love Cyrillic text.

Some of the pickguards this guy makes could look really nice on a burst Thunderbird.

Nice! We need a demo.

These are something you don't see everyday. I like some of them a lot. Quite a different take on pick guards.

One of these days I'll do a full rig demo.

Yeah, and he said he clear coats them to sort of seal them and protect from any sharp/rough edges. Not sure he does any requests, but I'll definitely be paying attention.

Is there a site off of Reverb?

Cool. Any pedal that seems interesting only gets demoed by P and J basses. Interestingly, the Darkglass pedals often get demoed by Warwicks.

No, unfortunately this is all I could find. But the guy was pretty quick to reply to email via Reverb.

Probably due to being in Europe.

I'll try to do with both my T-bird and my 4003S. At the very least, the T-bird so I can demo the Gizmotron and its weird series setup as well.

I Really like that!

Just needs some chrome pups!

You are correct, I can drop thunder buckers in this thing

Pointy, chromey 'Bird!

I might want to also but not for parchment. Maybe black.

Here is a mock up of black on my Cherry T-Bird:

As it is now:

Thoughts?

I like the white better. Not sure how I'd feel if it still had black hardware, though.

 

[Dadagoboi]

Are you ok down there @Dadagoboi?

Fine, thanks! Just spent 12 hrs securing what I could, reinforcing the 8 ft sliding door in the shop, and loading in the most valuable thirty or so basses. Another thirty will have to fend for themselves.

I plan on heading out tomorrow AM to friends ten miles east who have a fairly substantial house and a serious generator. Supposedly will be a possible CAT 3 when it goes by with the eye staying offshore, who knows until it happens?

The weather should be over by Monday PM. Then comes the fun. They got the power back on in 36 hrs last year after Matthew. Probably going to take a while longer for this one.
