Thunderbird Club

I'd just like to say that you people are at least 1000 times cooler than the genpop on TB.

Thunderbird = TB
TalkBass = TB

We are what's right about TalkBass

Looks... yummy?

That is cool. Not $1400 cool, but cool nonetheless.

Looks like Vince was a bit lucky with his delivery today. Snowed in with a Warlock.

USPS is interrupted, however, being in Canada, Vince gets his crappy postal service in English and French from Canada Post who would put up a service note such as this on their website a week after the event.

My Canada Post letter carrier is awesome. She delivers all of my guitars/basses to my door even though she doesn't have to do so. In return I ply her with tasty Belgian chocolates on a regular basis. It's a win-win scenario for both of us.

Stopped snowing here.
Yesterday there was a delay though... but still arrived on time.

 

[Dr_Feelgoood212]

Pussies. A little snow doesn't affect us Canadian he-men from going about our business.

Shipping was within the US, so they're not Canadian he-men.

So what's the deal Vince? You pull up at the customs station and they ask what you have today?

Yup.

Rule of thumb, anything over $100, you pay duty. But I've been pretty lucky up to $400 with musical stuff.

By bludgeoning you with my TB VP. How else would I earn respect in this thread?

There are other ways as well. But i never left. Need to shave my legs now.

It seemed to used to be anything over $100 I would get dinged, but lately it seems the limit has gone up. I've had several orders recently that were $100-plus that sailed through Canada Customs without any extra charge.

That there border/customs scenario is the premise for a quirky Canadian comedy-drama series.

 

[JJR58]

No... just a bad choice of light bulbs. The ones in my room are great.

Oh please. Try again.

One time last year my dad got dinged for <$90... that line took over 45 minutes... only 4 cars in front of us.... dude musta been on his first shift ever.

But ya, seems like they've been pretty lenient lately.

We can't seem to convince most others. You're safe here, sorta.

If we did that we'd have lots of foreign women flinging their panties at us.

It'd do fairly well too. There's a Canadian comedy about a corner store/gas station in a rural town that's done fairly well. There's a crime-comedy about a couple drunk drug addicts in a trailer park, that's done REALLY well!

HIYOOOOOOO!!!

With pleasure.

"Never played, needs a good set up"....$1495 + $65 shipping....FTW!
