Thunderbird Club

[Larry V]

Being a new owner, these things are still kind of a revelation to me. Spent time playing all of my basses this morning and kept going back to my T Bird. It suits me and I cannot believe how long I waited to finally get one

...and look how good you fit in here as well. It must feel like home, eh?

Ironically Nickelbrook is at the bottom of my list. That’s one beer that I will turn away.

A Canadian beer called Nickelbrook. Too close to a Canadian band everyone loves to hate, so I guess I'll pass on that beer.

Nothing against a P bass with flats or anyone who plays one, if it works in your context Im happy for you, I just find people how say that that is the best tone there is but also claim TBirds to be dull to be ironic in a very annoying way

Yeah... ya gotta learn to let that go, and here's how:

The moment you read a thread or posting and figure out it's a stereotype or unsolicited opinion, it is automatically non-fact based. Once you've established that... you can choose to walk away knowing that you're not missing out on anything of consequence... or you can proceed knowing that nothing you're about to read is of consequence. Either way, the posting in question, is nothing more than a fart from a stranger. Breathe deep or get the hell outa there... but do NOT let it have anymore of an affect on you than THAT!

Maybe that’s why I don’t like the beer!

I'll take your word for it... never developed the taste for Scotch. Vodkas and Rums are where I go when I'm not drinking Pilseners.

The best of Canada, right there!

I will agree, not just because Im a Canuck but because I do in fact agree.

 

[ProgressiveDoom]

If you choose not to decide,
You still have made a choice.

So clearly both is the best answer.

Sounds like a Rush lyric from Freewill. Now that is a good "choice" of words.

 

[Gaolee]

Ha!!!!!, we talk about the GP all the time. Agreed, it can be pretty scary outside the club.

They think we are pretty scary in here. Or just flat weird. That's OK. Both are correct, sometimes at the same time.

 

[Gaolee]

Mines still asleep and I’m jealous of her. Typically, I’m halfway through my first cup before it occurs to me that I somehow got up and made coffee

That's the ritual around here. I get up, make coffee, get about halfway through the first cup, then she comes down to the kitchen. As long as she's happy, I'll keep doing it. (Plus, I'm old - I'm usually up at 5:30 am.)

Feels pretty good, yeah

Glad someone caught on

We Scots are frugal not cheap. If it ain't a deal I'm not buying. If I am handing out a $1 for something it better be worth $2

As a person who is "Scotch-Irish" (aka Appalachian), all this talk of money and numbers and stuff is confusing.

 

[TBird1958]

It's lots of things.

This one cracks me up!

I guess Merriam-Webster don't care 'bout no Scotsman's feelings.

If it isn't Single Malt, it isn't Scotch
I'd post a shot of my bottle of Bowmore 12 Year but it's almost empty, which doesn't make me happy.

Better late than never.

 

[Gaolee]

I guess it depends on how much you love the bass you already have. I would love to get Lollars installed in a bass, but have no plans to mod my Gibson as I love it for what it is

That's why you need more than one.

The only Scotch that has ever been of use to me.

Agreed!
The only reason I was drinking Johnnie Walker that night was because there was no Single Malt at the open bar

 

[TBird1958]

Interesting comments on the VP necks, I've been playing mine quite a bit, it's definitely thicker front to back than a Post'88 Gibson. I work a little more to play it, compared to my '89, so between the two the Gibson plays easier - This is just my opinion, for a 6' 1" human I have smallish hands and aside from the fantastic tone, neck size has always been something I like about Gibson Thunderbirds.

This is the one I like. Don't have any at the moment. It's a tragedy.

But I'm about 20 years (or more!) older than you, straight, Single Malt is not a young person's drink You'll come around!

Yeah but this stuff works great, once applied there is no hangover, no criminal record, no pregnancies to claim and best of all my posters keep hangin' with me.
