Thunderbird Club

[Dr_Feelgoood212]

Frankly, I'm surprised the good Doctor hasn't snapped this one up already! He has whatever the opposite of a phobia is, for white T-birds

It occurs to me Duke... this might be your chance to pay back @Dr_Feelgoood212 for all his "help". Why don'tcha try shovin' the "Scepter of Enablement" up his arse & rattlin' it around a little

Fetish? Philia? Mania? Yes!

It's definitely on my radar... but GAS is elsewhere at the moment.

Lord knows the boy deserves it

No, I just haven't received the newer forms of technology.

I actually used VHS and floppy disks.

Punch cards and reel to reel tape.

Another white Thunderbird? Probably.

(Doesn't work so well when the person doesn't need much enabling, does it? )

 

[Shannon]

More like Firewood.

No, you can't! Think of the poor fire, having to suffer burning that! Oh, the firemanity!

 

[Shannon]

So, found a Thunderbird locally, kinda wish it wasn't so out of my price range:

Blue Thunderbird

That was a bit late to the party...

Oh, the joys of having to catch up on 30+ pages... :/

That’s the beauty of the “+ Quote” button. ;-)

I really do love the white. I dunno, not terribly practical at the moment. I bought 3 different ‘Birds in about a two month span and dropped a lot of dough to mod one of em.

...

@kat888 Congratulations! Gorgeous bass. We will need some audio samples.

Just wondering - is this number 7? If so, do we need to alert @KingFace ?
Gibson Thunderbird IV Reissue Black 1979

I think he already knows where number 7 is. When he was last on, i think he mentioned that he had been trying to negotiate acquiring it.

This just popped up on the GC website in case anyone is interested.

I'm obviously a very lonely man around here when it comes to my opinion of this bass. I'm not going to pretend I know what in the hell I would do with 6 strings... but if I did... I'd be all over that thing like a dog in heat on Grandpa's wooden leg! I mean... if ya love Thunderbirds, but want/need a 6 string... I think y'oughta be able to scratch that itch, and I can think of a lotta worse ways to do it

(I'll just go put on my attack dog training suit, and prepare for the onslaught)

You could use the B string as a thumb rest.

HAH!!!

 

[Snakeman1066]

let''s talk cases...I have a Phoenix, a Stream, and a Mockingbird...as well as the Epi T-Bird Vintage Pro and the Epi T-Bird Classic IV Pro

I recently ordered the Gator T-Bird case in the hopes that everything would fit and I would have a great option for carrying them all...well long story short everything fits...except the T-Birds...

are there any universal non form fitting cases hat work with these two T-Bird models or am I gonna have to break down and just buy the form fitted Epi case?

 

[kat888]

Man, I love that bass so much. Sounded awesome in the clip you did recently.

Raining and cold in Arkansas this morning. 450 miles to go and we’ll be home

Isn't that the first verse of a song?

All the questions I may have had have been answered but one still exists...

How does the mod decide if the shoes get stored in the upright position or laid to their side?

'So they fit in.'

I thought he mentioned number 7 is in Japan. Maybe this is the undocumented number 8.

I think Vince referenced an awesomely stupid thread in gen pop yesterday. It got super heated to say the least and had over 600 posts before it was shut down for multiple rule violations...some were quite extreme.

Today, someone else started a comedic thread in response and, huge shock, most are taking it way too serious and missing the humor completely. Humorless bunch of drill bits, some of those folks. Makes me happy all over again that this club exists

I started reading that new one too, once I saw 4 people taking it serious, I rose the white flag and left. The post was hilarious though.

Same here G, saying the guy didn't really want to part with it, or something to that effect. The mysterious number 8, stanger things have happened.
