Thunderbird Club

I want to make a 'Dandy Highwayman' joke about 'sand and deliver'.... but that would just be wrong.

Go for it!, youve been holding out on us.

I didn't know they made black or white bolt on 'Birds. If those are bolt on, then they might have fixer size necks.

I do believe these models had the larger Epi necks. I have not seen one in forever so I could be wrong.

Nothing really but that also depends on what kind of dirty one is feeling, the particular feeling of dirt I was experiencing was reminiscent of being subjected to a format of dirt fully capable of crippling my moral view of how I go about achieving any level of dirtiness resulting in immediate post traumatic stress disorder. Unlike riding a dirt bike or gardening.

wow...

Coconuts? Carried by swallows, no doubt. Or some other 'Bird...

African or European swallows?

Is it just me, or does this have @GBassNorth written all over it...

And @ProgressiveDoom, The Ocean is The Ultimate Solution.

Well, you know what they say - If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate...

As Im reading the thread that promotes the reasons for buying a Thunderbird I then go over to the thread where the customized Thunderbirds are and as I read the statements and compliments I come back home to the Bird sanctuary and read about wheels, dirt, tranny, swallows, engine sizes, getting fluids changed etc. I burst out laughing and wonder what visitors to our club must be thinking. It takes a unique breed of individual to belong to the Thunderbird community.

As a relative newcomer here, I have to say, yeah, rather a different vibe here than most other club threads.

There are posers, and there is the reality.

A fully functional dysfunctional family.

Doh!!!

That bass will end up north of a grand.

That bass will end up north of a grand.

Considering the shape it's in, and the color, i agree, highly doubt it'll go for less.

Hi guys, I made bass shootout so you can here all 3 basses in a mix (Pbass, Patriot, Tbird). Song is ''She Sells Sanctuary). You tell me what you think which one is better?

Nice!!!!!!, I prefer The Bird. Has a richness to the tone that the other two don't have, it's the unmistakable Bird tone.

With my bluetooth headphones, I couldn't hear any difference. Nice playing!

But, if it does go for less than $1k, you will feel like an idiot for missing it. So, I don't see where you have any choice but to bid to avoid the regret of missing a bargain.
