Thunderbird Club

Could be worse Mark. You could have been in a van since 0730 with a farting drummer who has no sense of smell.

This sounds like the voice of painful experience.

Oh, come, come now. If we can't openly discuss, nay I say celebrate plucker bondage, then the puritans will prevail. And we would all be lesser for it, makes me hesitate to say that I like to dip my bound plucker's in a petite vat of Pop's rosin, to impart a little extra grip. Just gotta remember to not* pick my nose or the like, while accoutred up as such.

Super glue. Just a little dab will do ya. Wait until it dries to touch anything.

I was tracking...just seemed ‘ehem’ worthy. Then again, I’ve been in a van since 7:30 this morning, so...

In a van down by the river?

Could be worse Mark. You could have been in a van since 0730 with a farting drummer who has no sense of smell.

Could be worse again, if the drummer had a cigarette lighter and engaged in a stunt of pyrotechnics. Singed hair stank is the wurst.

I think you owe it to yourself. What do you think it's worth?
That thing makes me giddy as a schoolgirl.

Take a gander here: The Fender 400-PS FAQ

Great amps, but if they ever require some attention- qualified, competent techs are few & far between.

Well, it's official. Rolling Stone has listed the 10 worst songs of the 1980's.
Did they miss one you think is worse?

9. Taco - 'Puttin' On The Ritz'...
8. Toni Basil - 'Mickey'...
7. Bobby McFerrin - 'Don't Worry Be Happy'...

I like Rick Astley ... not enough to buy one of his records mind. Not sure what Bobby McFerrin did to merit 7th place.

And totally on track you are. Long haul my brother!

Are you sure Bobby McFerrin didn’t impersonate a Thunderbird bass on that track?

 

[JJR58]

I didn't know about dragging and dropping to TB. This place never fails to educate.

In general, it's the GP that fails to educate. (not always though), Ooops, did I say that?

What a horrible list!

You obviously all think I'm in the circus or the navy or something, apart from my twin, who knows I am not. No butterflies, no felines, no shoes, dragons, snakes, comical chinese calligraphy, devils or number 13s. No nothing. Not on the Mod either.

I’m just a bit sad over this to be honest.

 

[Larry V]

Got my Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro today, what a great bass! Been jamming on it through my little Ampeg 25 watt combo, GREAT tone! The PUs deliver! VERY happy with this purchase it will fulfill my Thunderbird dreams for years to come.

No way is that going to be your only TBird for years to come. Just sayin’

Super glue. Just a little dab will do ya.

I tried that trick once* didn't like it, no sir, I didn't like it. Even tried the acetone to remove it afterwards with so-so results.
And I run Innovation Silver Slaps, and the ensuing plastic on plastic deal was slick non-grip clickety clack.
That just ain't what I'd call better living through chemicals.
I'll stick with my old skool non-gmo tape and organic rosin, thank ye' very much.

'wait until it dries to touch anything."

Now yer' just tryin' ta get me into trouble.

I haven't been around much lately because of so much going on. My Grandfather I told you about has taken a bad turn. He was hospitalized for breathing problems and we found out that his lungs were only working at 20% capacity. He asked to go back to the nursing home instead of staying at the hospital, which is basically asking to die. My mother, who is handling his affairs, has decided to do as he asked. As much as it hurts all of us, it's his decision. This is a pic of Mom and Granddaddy.View attachment 2950093

Aw, man. Been through this. Hugs and prayers for all.

Thunderbird siting. From the opening notes, the bass had my attention, and of course... it's a Thunderbird!
