Thunderbird Club

[MommyPlaysBass]

White vinyl Tbird logo arrived... from Spain! Going to go put it on AW. The bronze one on my VS (I got that one from NY) was a little difficult to apply, it was stuck to the cover instead of application side. We'll see how this one goes.
Knobs on the way.. got pics and they are all pretty. We'll see in a few days which one looks best on.

Honestly, you guys go off for days on tangents that leave me scratching my head.............

I have to take full responsibility for the latest. I started it.

... a new conditioner perhaps?

 

[MommyPlaysBass]

If you can believe it (which shouldn't be all that much of a stretch in this club)... the legend of "Sloved Dovewing" was inspired by a typo in the description of the recently announced Thunderbird Vintage Pro on Epiphone's web page.

No way!

a kupple tings...

1) Next time you find yourself needing a proper Thunderbird icon... check with our own @Larry V

2) I'm anxious for the knob "shootout". That'll be a first for me!

3) If it's ok with you... my inner Elvis wants to refer to you as "Li'l Momma"...

 

[theFixer]

No way!

Ya can't make this sh!t up...

Thanks, Mike. I’m in the process of finding a new vinyl guy. Just yesterday I mailed out a bunch of stuff and texted back and forth to get him lined up. Hopefully in a week or so, I’ll be all set with higher quality Thunderbird vinyls. I’ll keep everyone posted.

Cool!

Hey... do you have, or know of a means to acquire a W/B/W T-bird truss rod cover?

1) Wish I had known! Ok, @Larry V for logos. Check! Thanks

2) Looking forward to trying out a poll! Unless 1 of them really jumps out at me in person, it's on! (pun intended... putting knobs on... )

3) I would be honored to be referred to by your inner Elvis as Li'l Momma. Nickname approved & accepted.

I have some .060 thick WBW material that I can send you that could make you a couple of TRC‘s. Gratis.

Without seeing what knobs are on what, i'm already favoring the abalone one.

Thank you... thank you very much (I curled my upper lip when I typed that, ya know... in case you were wondering)

Nice. From where are you getting them?

 

[Gaolee]

"Mainstream sane"??? Is that not a contradiction in terms?

In here it's just not applicable at all. 'Birds chose each of us for a reason. They know. Keep that in mind.

 

[Shannon]

You (and everyone else) are correct of course. Fretting (hah) about nothing, finding 'fault' where there is none.

I'd fret less if I was any good at bass. I am still aspiring for mediocrity!

I assumed you did, otherwise that would've been so wrong!

This is a place that Kat posted. Not sure it's the same place that MPB got hers from.

It's the avoidance of mainstream sanity. We are compelled.

 

[kat888]

Sorry. My bad. I misread the specs and thought it said 148k hertz.

If you are going to run direct to a power amp or powered speaker, you need either a preamp capable of driving a power amp (line level output), or the power amp needs to have switchable input sensitivity.

I like that, but, he needs the Birds help, the 7th is in the hands of an evil lawyer.

Look on the bright side - at least you don't have to find quest items to get the 'Bird. You'd need an honest lawyer, a truthful politician, and a sane conspiracy theorist...
