Thunderbird Club

Good to get some playing time in. Better part of 4 hours for Plan 9 tonight too, though it was a bit grueling... we have some work cut out for us. Anyway nice you have a show coming up! Are you psyched?
Of course you are!

Me, I'm psyched to have my EB-3 back tomorrow, and to be getting my 'Bird into shape. Now some gigs...
 
Heya.............I've been rehearsing with the rest of The Nasty Habits here at my home today, about 4 hours worth. We haven't played together since 6/22 so quite a bit of rust to wear off before our show this coming Saturday night. All went well, I played my Lull the entire time and will take it and the Greco on the trip. :)
It's been a really good day with my bandmates, I love them and haven't been able to spend much time with them.
Great to hear your enjoying quality band time:thumbsup:.

Knock em out next Saturday, i'll be there in spirit.
 
Hi guys!

I'm so happy to be here to be part of this genius group on TB. I'm eyeing this beauty for 2 years, I've alwayas had soft spot for Thunderbird, but this...this is something special. So dark, so raw, so fat, so chunky, so growly... bought it 2 days ago and again fell in love with bass.

Good Sir, shall I add to the Club?
 
Ok well it's time to pay some attention to us now.


:laugh:

10/28 is the night to celebrate Halloween, it should be a great show, we're out to Pt Angeles where we're always a hit. We've never played there on Halloween I think it'll quite a night! Rehearsal went well, I'm trashed!
 
If it’s a Halloween show, will you guys go out dressed as men? :)

You know better than that, silly.
I usually just do what I do, the crowd is the evening's fun - I drive the bus :D
 
It's gotta be something weird. I tested out the iron acetate finish on the thunderbird body we were talking about earlier. Which is supposedly mahogany. The rust in the finish reacts with the tannins in the wood, which is why you get varying colors and effects. I got a really nice grey on the thunderbird that gets an even cooler effect when you out oil on it. And on the LTD, it came out brown... so they're definitely pretty different woods. Even the grain on the Tbird is much tighter.

Stop teasing us, and show us a picture of that Thunderbird body! :)
