Thunderbird Club

[ProgressiveDoom]

Would someone who uses a pickup cover post a shot or two of theirs on their bass, and send along the dimensions of it? I need to make one out of brass- I have the brass, just looking for a reference to start it from.

Thanks!

Some nice looking axes there, @Mantis Tobaggan and @JJR58 .

Are you freekin' kidding?!, I talked to a guy at work today who is a brake operator to set me up once I get him the dimensions. This is what I found earlier today after work. Scroll down, its there but I have found a few others that differ slightly, more vintage like 60's and two point or something.

Saw this on Sweetwater:

Gibson Thunderbird 4 String 2018 - Bright Cherry

Dang, That looks like a step backwards from the 2015 edition. If they were going to do retro I wish they'd have gone back to the the sixties with some nice pups and a two piece bridge. This looks more like a 2014 partial transition to the 2015 model. At least the pricing was held to 2015 levels.

I was keeping my powder dry for the 2018 release. Looks like I might pull the trigger on something else instead. I'll wait until these hit the street to see if there's any deviation in the roll out, if not it's new target time.

Guess i'm lucky that the neighbors ask, how come you weren't practicing last night?

WOW!!! Somebody call Guinness Book!!!

 

[theFixer]

Now wait a second there, maybe not. could be a cool hardcore band.

"Going to a bar for a buzzkill"... sounds a bit like marriage...

Sargeant Buzzkill & The Curmudgeons ?

Red... one day... maybe in another life... maybe in this one... you and I will be in a band together. The name of that band shall henceforth and forevermore, be known as "Sargeant Buzzkill & The Curmudgeons"

We could have little old lady backup singers... "the Curmudgettes"

Earlier this year I flew mine out from Ontario to BC. I just got a yorkville t-bird hardcase and wrapped my bass in bubble wrap. The case came through with a few scratches but otherwise it made the trip just fine.

Anyone ever seen or played one of these in person?

SEED Kanderbird Black　Thunderbird+Precision Bass

Pretty cool idea! I'd like to see it as an all mahogany neck-thru

 

[theFixer]

Well, well.

HAH!!! What does THAT do for your GAS?

 

[theFixer]

A solitaire player that plays bass doesnt mind playing solitaire with a bass player living next door playing bass.

That's my next tattoo man...

 

[theFixer]

I hate when that happens, its like I type in Google "gardening" and I get "granny porn". What the hell?.

Yeah... "gardening"... right...

 

[theFixer]

Interesting merge between a Thunderbird and a Precision... If it wasn't for the fuggly headstock I would rock it...

May I suggest one thing, Fix:

Use the "+Quote" button and answer several posts at once, rather than making 14 posts, so we can keep the thread from becoming extremely long in no time...

I respond to 'em as I read 'em. I personally hate the multi-quote thing...

granted... tonight was a little heavier than normal...

Here's a question though... If I made the same number of comments over a stretch of say 8 or 10 hours, and they were inserted at various points throughout the thread... would that take up any less page space, than sitting down and doing them all at once?

I think multi-quote is best used for delivering one response to multiple postings.
