Thunderbird Club

Not sure what all the @kat888 pic curiosity is about. As far as she's concerned she looks just like this every time she posts...

...that's good enough for me. Now, if she changes up on that pic I'll have an identity crisis for a few hours until I get used to the new Kat, but that's the nice thing about getting older, short term memory goes out the window. :D
So you have seen her after all :)
 
So, funny story time.

Today was my final exam, went well but besides the point. I also moved out of my current college house. Got home, went to my room to put some stuff down and noticed that my StingRay was moved and not sitting in the rack properly, strange but my dad was probably bored one afternoon and started Googling EBMM basses or something and wanted to compare something or other... I dunno, he's weird. So I look around and everything seems to be in order for the most part...
THEN out of the corner of my eye I notice something weird... there was something different about the rack that contains my white EB-3, Thunderbird Studio V, and an acoustic guitar.... OH THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL WHITE BASS!! And there laid THIS...
(Sorry about the lighting)

I can't provide an accurate comparison to a Gibson because I need to put some foam under the pups to raise them up more. But what I can say is that it is a completely different animal from a post-88 Gibson Bird, but by now most of you have heard that more than once.
Dayum! Not a bad thing to have spontaneously materialize, ready to plug into the sonic mayhem generator behind it.
 
My K&M stand arrived, and it is truly a thing of wonder - far more solid than the Hercules I was looking at :thumbsup:

Fan-Fecking-Tastic!!!!!!!!!!
 
I dunno about that. You are the sexiest Chechen warlord with acidic alien blood that I know. By far. It's all the 'Bird that makes it happen, because I know lots of Chechen warlords with acidic alien blood. We have whole neighborhoods of 'em out here. None of 'em play 'Birds and none of 'em are sexy at all.

Two options here: either the rest of them are fugly, or he’s the only
Chechen warlord with acidic alien blood You know

Edit, another option is for @JJR58 to post a picture and prove me wrong:)
