Thunderbird Club

The girl gave herself the gift of sleeping in, so I watched ‘Hired Gun’ on Netflix. Kinda neat, in a very disjointed sort of way. And it turns out Billy Joel is a douche. Shocking

Yet another unheard of deal by the Carlonator! You just gotta free bass for the cost of shipping... and you got it from that good hearted eBay seller that I've heard about (I always thought it was just a legend)

Do I see 24 frets? ... on a short-scale???

They retail for ~$200 shipped direct from Dean. I'd been looking for a used one for about a year, shipping from the eBayer was $30. Would have been a good deal at that but $110 was sweet.

Yes, 24 frets. Works for me, though rarely!

If that was a Stocking Stuff, it makes me wonder what was under the tree!
Nice score!

No tree, but that would have been the '63P AVRI.

So was St. Tom, only he had better PR.

Fair enough

I would like us to go to Jeffs house now, looks like way too much fun for one Dude.

Would so love to have you all!!!

Just put a 3kg leg of lamb in the oven ... we'll still be eating it come Wednesday Friday.

We have so much food left over!

We haven't even gotten anywhere close to dinner yet.

We haven't even gotten anywhere close to dinner yet.

We haven’t had breakfast yet! Just coffee so far. Nice, SLOW day around here. Even our horrible cat is being laid back

 

[Gaolee]

I'm at the airport, probably parked illegally, waiting for the kid to get in. Then roast port. In the mean time, I got distracted by an maybe Sicilian/German who arrived from somewhere. She didn't pretend to listen or even notice. But I did. I ain't dead yet! Merry Christmas to you all. And a late happy Festivus and Hanukkah. Pick one or two or three. Or more- why stop when you can have several?

Not bird related, but as I feel that I’m not likely to be th only geek here I thought that i’d Share how proud I am of what was top of my 5 year old daughter’s Christmas list.
The force is strong with this one.

NICE! Great beer, too.

Curious. What's everyone running for pedals? I switch back and forth between the Ampeg SCR-DI and the Behringer Sansamp clone. I'm running my Pro IV through a mini-mega and a pair of Hydrive 4x10's. The Ampeg sounds thin in a band situation, while the Behringer is nice and thick but seems quite dark. Any other suggestions. Mostly playing classic rock, old school r&b.

Besides a Turbo Tuner ST-300, I use a Darkglass Alpha-Omega.

If that was a Stocking Stuff, it makes me wonder what was under the tree!
Nice score!

Your bulldozer.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and happy day off to the rest! I just woke up around 2:00 and am having coffee now.

Merry Christmas to everybody here....

....still waiting for the Epi VP's and the Gibson 2018 TB's here in Europe

P.S. it's an Orville sold yesterday on the bay....

 

[Shannon]

No, that’s how it’s been stored for years. There was no movement at all so we think mice got to the controls wiring… before the feral cat started coming around.

And now I imagine a team of mice actually modifying it so THEY can be the ones driving it around.

I prefer to run Bell Kicks, which I used as parts on a junked Trek frame someone was ditching. It had no pedals, seat or seat post when I got it, and both brake lines had been adjusted with wire cutters.

Oddly, once I finished tending its wounds and got it rideable, it flew away; leaving only the cheap cable lock behind...

I occasionally forget to close the door and he wanders into the house. As soon as I'm aware he's inside I put him out. Hasn't clawed or sprayed anywhere I can tell. Still sleeps n the tree. When it gets near freezing he sleeps under the house.

Sounds to my ears, like he would like to be adopted...

 

[hillerup]

Shows they've been neutered. There are feral cat colonies that have all been neutered and are fed regularly by volunteers. When they see one without a clipped ear they capture it, have it fixed and clipped and return it to the colony. Humane population control.

Ahhh... Sounds like a pretty good way to control them, and recognize them.

 

[kat888]

Never been able to make anything sansamp work. Had one in my old studio. Used it on lots of stuff, but never bass

Sansamp is the mutt's nuts out in Gen Pop and I tried, I really tried, but couldn't get the bloody thing to work for me. At any discernible level of drive notes turned to mush and the amp emulations were either muffled or harsh and aggressive -- with Thunderbucker 66Ss. I always had the impression DG pedals were 'best for metal', but it turns out they do other things as well.

 

[hillerup]

Mine was a tad more "personal" than that... but I think you've got the idea

Yep... Loud and clear!
