Thunderbird Club

Bah. We don't need to worry about that kind of thing. We have quantity, we have quality, we have Thunderbirds. The masses of unbelievers have to scatter before our presence. And sh!t.

We owe it our Queen, Dignity, Respect and Class.

Looks like we all gotta learn to play with gloves.

We will crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and hear the lamentations of their J basses!

You and Will might feel good about this, take a look at the classifieds.

I always wanted to be one of the classy broads.............


Where the HE double hockeysticks did you find that?

 

[kat888]

I'm leaning toward a 66 set for the '91, but I'm still not 100% sure. A 63 set might be good, too. I can't alter the pickups in the '01. And the '15 is its own thing. Sounds like a case of N+1.

For me the NR41 is a '66 bass, therefore a 66S seems to fit, while a REV41 is a '63 bass = 63N. Saves me sitting around obsessing about which pup to choose.

You are!!

Was surfing the webz last night. Googled your name. I love the shot.

Hey all! It's been a long time. I'm down to one T-Bird (still in the club!) and a P bass. Had to shuffle a few things around. Still playing and finally have a show with my band coming up on Feb. 10.

How are you all?

That's just too logical for TalkBass!

Jazz bass on the block. Chopping...........

I quit at $2 a pack. It was 17 years ago.

I still haven't had a smoke since I found a melanoma on the back of my head last year. Must be 9 months or more now.
The doctors reckon my skin graft's success was helped a lot by giving up the smokes. I know my bank balance is healthier.
I don't want to contemplate what it would have been like if the graft had failed.
They took a 3 inch circle of scalp off the back of my head and went in over half an inch deep- so the graft is a considerable size. Big, clear margins are really important, I believe.
Funny thing (yeah...ha...fning ha....) is I had long hair for over forty years- so the area where it grew wouldn't have been sunburnt since I was a child.
Anyway, I was damn lucky I found it by touch and insisted that it be biopsied. It was a largely unpigmented one and the specialist dismissed it initially.

One thing with smoking I didn't realise is how long the irritation of your throat can take to go fully away. I did smoke for decades, though.

Good on you for having the fortitude to give it up. I'm still in and out of it.

Preach on, sister!

Just got back from the post office! I unpacked the bass there because the box looked as if it had been through a war...large holes and plenty of dents, but thanks to generous amounts of bubble wrap, all is well!

Here’s my humble aviary
View attachment 2890417
It’s a really nice bass and very different from my Gibson’s, which I was hoping would be the case. The Thunderbucker Ranch ‘63 is a very nice sounding pickup! Very punchy and clear. Much brighter than my Gibson’s. Like, a lot brighter. Carlo did a perfect setup. The neck is a bit wider than my ‘Birds. It’s closer to all my other basses. That’s neither here nor there as I’m not super fussy about nut width. The neck feels really good and looks nice. Cool dot markers! The matching headstock is a nice touch. I’ll play it more throughout the day and maybe make a video clip, but first impressions are very glowing. Thanks Carlo!

Very nice!

There are a few there I see. Also, the Squier Katana is vaguely exotic.

When you quit smoking, your voice improves. Then the nasal thing can go away. That's it, right?

Like 'Scott's Bass Lessons' ... can make it into a drinking game, have a shot everytime he says 'bad boy'.
