Thunderbird Club

[Count Bassie]

Don’t be ashamed to go down to one bass until funds allow for more. More is fun, but not at all necessary.

Dig it... early on I ever had one bass, and had no need for another. Only after starting to play on regular gigs did I find need for a second, as backup. But that's debatable if It's kept simple (passive) and in good trim.

I'm pretty sure to be happier with less! I've got to like my axe, but the axe is for getting there: It's not an end unto itself.

Good word there Ken.

I’m not really a sportsball person, so of course I’d rather play music...pretty thin crowds tonight because of the super thing, that’s all

Occasionally I point and laugh at American sport(s) because they're a bit weird. They kinda resemble things that the other 6.3 billion of us play but they're not the same at all.

Ya I heard about that Super Plate game. Wasn't Ted Nugent one of the teams? And IIRC the other was some sort of bird... that was lesser than a Thunderbird.

I’m sure it’s just what one is used to and has grown up with. Then again the only sport I watch is cycling, so I’m not the one to ask about sports :/

Love Simon Gallup! Such a great bassplayer and stellar performer!

Football/Soccer is one thing...

Another is Baseball - The equivalent to this in Denmark is a game called "Rundbold" (translates to "roundball"), which is basically a kids game here.

Same same. 'Rounders', played in posh girls schools, where it's prounounced 'rinders'.

I used to watch Tour De France some years back - Until it drowned in EPO and tons of other performance enhancing drugs...

Last sports performance I watched on TV was Winter Olympics a few years ago, when the Danish female curling team was wiping the ice with all the other teams...

Since then I removed all the sports channels from my cable subscription - Way too many sports channel offerings in my parts of the woods.

I could confine myself to viewing three sports and be quite content, never think 'oh I wonder what such and such is doing', or feel I was missing out on others.

much like soccer is typically viewed in North America - a 'kids game' and one that women continue to play into their teens and beyond while boys/men move on to 'adult male' sports like Football (or in Canada - Hockey) etc...different strokes and ways of making coffee keep the world a turning...

Anyone what type of saddle screws to buy if you need a replacement? It's for a hipshot supertone bridge.

 

[Dr_Feelgoood212]

The only sports I really like, involve moving at high rates of speed, or doing something stupid like riding a bicycle in a swimming pool.

You could take out another one and bring it to your local hardware store to match it... or send an email to Hipshot, they're usually really helpful.
