Thunderbird Club

[ProgressiveDoom]

@dukeorock Ya gotta lotta miles to cover. I figgerd ya might appreciate a li'l drivin' music that'll snap you out of the mind-numbing haze

I have that very LP in my possession, with that cover it came in.

I'm sure I'll receive something other than praise from a number of you for this... but that Blacktop P-bass is the only Fender that tweaks my interest at all right now...

Yeah, but I was interested in the Blacktop J for a while. Though Carlos J solution seems better

 

[RedVee]

Nah ... when it comes time to lawyer up, we hire the Sadowsky club to represent us. They can't act against the interests of their clients. Problem solved.

They’d have to get the PRS club in

I figured we could just claim that it wasn't our fault they got hit in the kneecaps with our Thunderbirds. Everyone knows these things are neck diving monsters. We just instinctively let go of the necks long enough to cover our faces in self defense, and pow, there went our TBirds tight into their kneecaps. In fact, we should plan a counter suit asking for reparations to fix all the headstocks they broke on our Birds.

Since Thunderbirds are so muddy sounding all we have to do is surround them,plug in and play in unison. We''ll have them buried up to their eyeballs in mud in no time.

 

[Gaolee]

Much better. Thanks.

97° of your Fahrenheits here btw non international standards compliant Bird brethren.

Right now it is -24 below and with the windchill it is -33. That for anyone outside of Canada translates to -11 F and -27 F with the chill.

Headed back to Nashville! Gonna look like this for a very long time

No blizzards, so that’s nice

I suddenly have a craving for pancakes.

From an NBD thread

i played the T-Bird vintage Pro's maiden gig last night and i gotta say that i was blow away by how great it sounded with the full band. i ran it with both pickups on 95% of the time and it sounded incredible. it's one of the best sounding basses that i've ever owned (and i've owned over 100 of them over the last 49 years of playing bass).

Pretty glowing review from a guy who knows a thing or two

Straight outta Fargo!

I'd like to check one of these TC-90s some day. It's about as Gibsony as a Fender can get

A friend has a Tele with a pair of P-90s and VVTT controls like a Les Paul. He calls it his Les Paul. It's a great sounding guitar.

Why are you driving on the wrong side of the road?

He got bored. There was nothing else to do. The picture is the one place there are trees on one side of the road. Most of the time, there are no trees, so you can't really tell what side of the road you are on. Or if you are even on the road.

There's heavy traffic on the I-64 west of St Louis.

She must have got telepathic when hit during the melee for a half head of cabbage.

 

[Gaolee]

Not to stereotype anyone, but I find it very hard to believe the Sadowsky people are nearly as much fun as this group. Thinking we’d win in a bar fight. Just sayin’

There wouldn't even be a bar fight. The discussion would cause us too much amusement and them too much perplexity for any fight to ever start.

 

[Gaolee]

On a Thinline, I'd definitely prefer humbuckers. Sam Fish has a pretty decent custom built Thinline with humbuckers and it sings very nicely.

I wonder how tall she is. Her hands look like they could wrap around the Tele's neck about six times.

 

[theFixer]

Is that where the saying “never take a Steinberger to an RD Artist fight” came from?

That's not a saying... that's just dumb

 

[Gaolee]

Never even saw it. That was some evil genius ninja sh!t right there

Well, she is a satan worshiping heathen. Um, not heathen because she plays a Thunderbird. So, there you have it.

 

[Gaolee]

If it's kneecapping you want, time to reach for the Precision.

My Precision is an ill tempered beast. It's got a sweet voice, but if I don't keep it chained up, it beats up the neighbor's guitar. I had to free a piano it had kidnapped. Don't even ask what it does to the backs of singers' heads.

NOICE!!! That's my favorite Grand Funk album! This is my favorite track:

That's not a saying... that's just dumb

I’m pretty sure it’s a saying, but then we’ve been driving through a snow storm, or ‘a light dusting’ as Jamie calls it, for awhile now

 

[theFixer]

Yeah, but I was interested in the Blacktop J for a while. Though Carlos J solution seems better

Oh, Carlo's "J solution" is on a whhhooooooole different level... but it's also on a whhhoooooole different price scale
