Thunderbird Club

Founder's Breakfast Stout. Had it with a Farm Burger (high quality beef with ham, Bacon and an egg. I have them add cheddar) and sweet potato fries from The Pharmacy in Nashville. Holy cheese is that a great combo. I bet The Duk will back me up on that.

That's a great one. Ever have their Canadian Breakfast Stout?

Boy, step away for a few hours to play a gig and when you get back, it’s a bunch of raging alcoholics :/

The Most uncomfortable bass ever. Unless you are an ape with extralong arms.

I love the Breakfast Stout. A few years back when I was up at Lake Placid for snowboard racing, there was a Sunoco in the town where you could buy growlers of Founder's Breakfast Stout for about $11. Needless to say, my breakfast before I hit the mountain that entire week was pretty much beer and a slice of pizza.

Cool, thanks for stopping by!

What... you mean there were no raging alcoholics at yer gig??? LLLAAAAAAAME!!!

Noice!!
It kinda looks naked without the TBird logo...

And without the other pickup. I hardly use the bridge p/u, but it doesn't look right, which throws off my timing. I think it adds to the neck dive, too.

Well... perhaps if you had extra long ape-like arms, that neck dive wouldn't bother you

Fortunately Gibson made a Short Scale version for students, beginners and little guys with short arms...

Now please pardon me while I ponder whether I should play my 35" scale Spector Rex5 Pro or my 34" scale Gibson Thunderbird.

Don't know about adding to the dive, but I agree, a single pup Bird just looks odd to me even though 90% of the time I solo the neck pup. If doing a build I'd consider having a dummy pup installed at the bridge just to keep my OCD in check.

When you say 'Spector Rex' it reminds me of Inspector Rex.

LOL - never seen that one. I take it Rex is the police dog. Here's my Rex...

Plenty of bark and bite!

I dunno, two pickup Birds look kinda weird to me. Thunderbird II is the original after all.

That’s very kind of you to say, thanks!
I can get the voice part loud by cranking the ribbon mic and turning the amp way down, but then the music part tends to suffer a bit. Too much room noise. Trying to find the balance...one of these days!
I love my Mesa M9 a lot and they’re very special amps. I don’t think the video showed the Sunn at its best, but it was close. The Sunn is more vintage sounding like a nice ACC amp and the M9 is more modern...tends to mic up really well too. I want to start slowly getting more cool, iconic amps. Should sell off couple first

So, patch them all together and get a really, really big speaker...

a prawn shop

Something fishy about that place. Or maybe I am just being crabby.

You always forget the liquid nitrogen!

Dat's cold, Katt. Real cold.

Of course, I'll be publishing it soon, did you have some tidbits I could add?

Cake. Everyone here likes cake. Carrot cake, even.

After my workout, I had a whey protein shake for ‘dinner.’ Not listening to the delicious food talk! Buncha drunk, overeating, most uncomfortable bass playin’ crazies

People think I'm crazy for drinking Scotch... you also have to be crazy to be in this TBird club... Coincidence?

So... we all drink Scotch? Knew there was an upside.
