Seriously? It's the best TV ever created.

Yes serious. I'll have a look now. Do I need to start from S1 Ep1 or just pick it up from anywhere?

I would start from the beginning. I started part way thru and had to go back to the start.

Well, next to Rick & Morty

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Archer recommended. I’ll have to get on it.

Thanks Kat. A remarkable story, and achievements. Hats off to Mr Munro.

Now those sound like fightin words. But I know that's not your style.

Funnily enough... I heard them words from some real, live Canadians

THAT is beyond cool!!!

You mean La Liste Nationale du Canada.

Au Cananda, toutes les choses officiales doit etre en francais.

But for what it is worth, the national bird is the loon as its cry represents the melancholy we all feel when winter arrives.

... uuhhh... ok

 

[theFixer]

That would get things looking pretty ugly around here. I think I speak for all. We won't have that.

Agreed. I'm certain our Queen will select one of the many other possible solutions that would not offend every active member of the club. Even if that means letting the sleeping dog lie.

I hereby propose the number 62 to be considered unlucky with respect to Thunderbirds and avoided.

Makes sense. If ya think about it... counting back in time... 1962 is the first year there is no Thunderbird

I think it was someone here who said that Punk is all in the attitude.

Well, in introducing my daughter to punk, here is the sort of thing I played


Essentially Taylor Swift with crunchy guitars and, well, anti-punk lyrics.

I opened a show for them a couple years ago. Very poppy and cutesy, I was impressed with her ability to play the bass line to "bottle cap" and sing at the same time. It is about as pop as pop punk gets, could fit on a bill with female fronted mainstream bubblegum pop as well.

They were a well executed band, the crunchy guitars are her husband.

Don't forget Cataldo.

I think all of his are bolt ons, but I could be wrong about that.

 

[theFixer]

Don't forget Cataldo.

I would certainly consider him a "custom shop"

By the way... on a whim, I went over to the Cataldo site (index) earlier today. He recently updated the site if ya wanna go look at some purdy fiddlesdrool

 

[theFixer]

Yeah, I meant on why be more scared of alligators. For mine, that whole family of critters are in the 'avoid' category.

Hot Dang! I knowd you wuzza smart feller!

It's probably the last day of Summer today, really just splendid outside, orange contrasts nicely with green

That's probly my second favorite one, after the chrome over cherrydrooldrooldrool

 

[RedVee]

Yes, but I bet Fix could get a 'Bird with a neck to suit his requirements. Perhaps a JAEbird.
May be a bit of a saving plan required compared to a bolt on Epi though.

A bit.

$250 gets my goth and epi hard case

I am looking for one Gibson TB Plus bass pickup. I am not looking for the soapbar type used on Thunderbirds. I am looking for the humbucking sized pickup found on the LP Standard or Money Bass. See the images below for an example. I only need one (bought one here on TB earlier this week) but if you have a pair let me know your price. Gold or Chrome will work fine. Doesn't matter what color. If you have any please let me know.

I want to replace the Bart setup that is in this bass:

Noc - you so need to install a set of triple shot pup rings on those LP size humbuckers!
I put them on a Franken-Bronco bass that I modded a while ago (with lipstick humbuckers) and they work great. They blend right in with the instrument and you can't even tell there's anything different looks wise. But OMG they open up the sound options. Each ring has two micro switches that lets you select series or parallel or neck single coil or bridge single coil for each pickup on the fly. They take the place of your stock trim rings. Check em out along with the YouTube clip at the link. The clip demos a guitar but they work equally well on bass and really come in handy if you're a pedal or overdrive guy.

WOW man!!! Do you mind if I ask about the black semi-hollow?

The pickups are called Nanomag and Nanoflex and the Zenith is on page 172 of the Gibson Bass Book. Of course it is!

Shadow Electronics produces these pickups and preamps
