Thunderbird Club

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

Well, get on with it honey. use some clippers first then the shave crème and blades - don't forget to trim the poodle too!
 
SO MANY people seem to think that having all your EQ knobs at 'noon' -- and there's another thing what gets my goat, we're musicians, what's this 'noon' bollox, surely it's midnight -- is the same as a straight wire.
Most amps color the sound, so it's not really a straight wire.
 
Y...Ya I know. Problem is lighting, it's dark outside, and the rest of the rooms in the house have crappy warm coloured bulbs... not great for pictures if you ask me. I'll try to get a better one later.

A bass like that is for heavy metal. Lighting should be dim and colorful!
 
While checking all the early 60's T-bird pics on a google search I came across this (already sold) on Reverb - a rare-as-hens-teeth '63 IV (with hs repair) Gibson thunderbird bass IV 1963 original finish 1963

Also thi$ '64 - 1964 Gibson Thunderbird IV Bass “Frost Blue” Custom Color Rarest of the Rare ! - I like the amber'd blue-to-green on the hs face. Interesting how that's the only section that amber'd.

For those looking for high-def pics of the control cavity - both listings have good examples.

Love the color on that Frost Blue one, I think it would look great in that shade as a metallic, maybe Ice Blue Metallic is the closest shade, I was considering that sort of blue for the Greco refin, though I think I'm going to go with something Greener.
 
Thank God for Kurt Cobain...
The trick to dealing with the '80s, is to find out who was able to laugh at themselves, and who took themselves too seriously. Usually the ones who could laugh at themselves, laughed even harder at the ones who took themselves too seriously!:D
During the '80s… I was catchin' up on the '60s & '70s. I wasn't really able to deal with the '80s until the turn of the century:roflmao:
