Thunderbird Club

[D.M.N.]

I know it's not everyone's bag of chips in here, but I just picked up my Precision from its first servicing in 11+ years of service, and it's like falling in love all over again, like the day I picked it off the wall in GC. Had the frets leveled and polished so I don't fret out on string bends anymore, neck is straight and flat, plays lightening fast. I think I really need to switch to a Thunderbucker in the Greco to compete with the Precision now...


On that note, anyone got a '63 bucker for sale?

I think you must be right, Jeff. I can't find it either...

Great little amp! Love the vintage button. My son has one I use it from time to time.

I’m liking it so far, I’ll rehearse with it Tuesday but that vintage setting does warm up the grit on my Bird quite nicely.

I'm not gonna superglue it or anything,but the vintage button stays in on my R200c-Love it. Edit: and my newer R40

Well hello everybody, it's been a while since I posted. If you remember I was looking after my mum who had dementia but she has gone now. Since then I've been meaning to get some stuff off my chest but I could never seem to press the post reply button so if this post actually appears then I will have finally done it.

So, I do hate starting a sentence with so, but anyway, I've been having an issue for most of my life, if not all of it, despite all that has happened in my life much of it has been a bit odd in context to this post. I'm sure Mark will find this brings a smile to his face, I hope the rest of of you who know me find it does too or at least you wont hate me. I guess the photo below says more than I'm trying my best to do, not the best photo but..:

You're back! The Commonwealth contingent needs all the help it can get. Stand up for rain and rich tea biscuits!

I have a problem with burning things ... I've stood on the spot at Humboldt Universität where that infamous newsreel footage of the books being burned was shot ... but I'd make an exception for that. It truly is an abomination. Can't say as I've ever consumed the product it is advertising either.

It's Friday afternoon here and that's the first song anybody put up. We are slacking when we have to rely on Saturday morning in OZ to get that kind of thing going.

What sort of bridge is standard on Greco Birds?

There's one for sale on Reverb at the moment and the bridge is not what I would expect to find on a GSO.

Greco Thunder Bird Bass, Black, 1987, Made In Japan, HUGE LOW END
