Play nice, that's Nikki from The Silversun Pickups!
Definitely a Gibson Girl. If she's not playing a TBird, she's playing an EB/SG bass.

Picks, that is. I have a terrible time playing bass coherently with a pick. Guitar works with a pick, but for me, bass just doesn't. Go figure. Getting along with Thunderbirds is no problem. I must be doing it wrong.

I think I like this dress more than he last one, but the bass is a toss up....
You might want to try one of these. Wedgie rubber picks. Better than felt ir any other material by far.Picks, that is. I have a terrible time playing bass coherently with a pick.

If I'm going to play with a pick, the pick will be a quarter that I fish out of my pocket. No quarter, no pick!
As always, I'm completely serious, too.

I've been a picker since day one. Always punk and hard rock. I've only recently converted to fingers on the stuff I play while not in my band.

I will delete my post if you like. No harm intended, but she is aweful cute.
No worries Larry, I just didn't want things to go downhill from there, she (Nikki) is the mother of two daughters aside from being in TSP and I didn't want anything unseeming posted here.
I really like her choice of basses and of course that fact that she uses Thunderbirds while the 7ender Cavalry in their white hats whine about the mythical neck dive just makes Nikki that much cooler in my book!
hillerup
There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
Gotta love her choice of basses!
And dresses too...
Never heard her band, though...
Must go on the bucket list to check them out ...

I play my TBird with my fingers and it still sounds amazing. They're not one trick ponies.Picks, that is. I have a terrible time playing bass coherently with a pick.

Also do you know who else played a TBird with fingers? John Entwistle and I don't think anyone is going to trash talk him for that
I know we're sort of off the dress comment thing, but just remember that this thread in particular has always been the bastion of inclusion and welcoming. Let's keep it that way! Best club on the board.

Sorry Tom! From a distance you and Larry are almost twins
It's a Midwest thang! But that's where the similarities end I'm sure.
Go Blue!!!
Looks like one of the nicest EB3s I've ever seen...not the same old color.
