Thunderbird Club

Exactly! :thumbsup:
In fact sometimes the front end of my signal chain automatically kicks into random thought generation and stops feeding a proper music signal to the next link in the chain. I find it's frequently triggered by shiny objects, fast cars, attractive women and .... dang, just forgot what what I was talking about.:cool:
Squirrels. I think we were talking about squirrels.
 
Dang, those basses look cool!
Thanks, I only do them for ThunderBucker conversions but it's an easy job for anyone with minimal router skills. The Jags are pretty sharp...

Really good necks on those Indonesian Jags!
 
Dang, those basses look cool!
Not just suckin up to fellow club member Carlo, but seriously, I have yet to see one of his Cataldo creations that didn't look like a work of art! I've never tried one in person (only YouTube clips) but if they sound and play half as good as they look they'd be a bargain at twice the price.
:cool:I have too many basses in my studio right now, but if I were to clear out about a dozen of them I'd be contacting Carlo to make me a matched set of three birds - one specifically designed to maximize Round wound finger style playing, one maximized for flatwound pic playing and one fretless maximized for tapewounds. All three would be in Vintage 1950's car color schemes and might even be very very slightly distressed. And just to show you all what I nice guy I am, I'll let each of you join me in my dream by starting up a Go-Fund-Me page you can all chip into.:D:thumbsup: Aren't I a great guy!:D
 
Driving to Arkansas for a gig tonight. Incase anyone’s wondering, West Tennessee and most of Arkansas are still pretty much the same. Flat. Brown. Lots of ‘All You Can Stand For $8.99’ buffets. The singer of Eskimo Brothers wants me to start bringing my T Bird to gigs. Now I need another to stay strung with flats :)
 
It Has Begun!

The best!

Ehem, not really. :D

I see what you did there :)
 
Well, i am from NY, just need a little help in the unwind department.
A half turn of your rod to the left should loosen the tension a bit, plus you'll get more action and can really dig in when you're going at a solo, also works well if you just want to lay back and stay in the groove.
I'm sorry, were we talking about basses?;)

Too many basses? Never suffered from that, myself :)

It’s embarrassing how much time I’ve spent on the Cataldo site, hand wringing over various options. All I have worked out so far is one of em will be single pickup, one volume knob, no tone. Fairly sure it’ll be a reverse. Color options are a whole other problem!
