Thunderbird Club

[GonePlaid]

Hah! I loved playing it - when it works you get sucked into it ... it takes everyone in the bands full commitment playing it - that's why is such a hard song to play right. I mean, this was Zep at their peak -

I was fortunate enough to see them at "Pirates World", which was an amusement/theme park in Dania Beach, FL,(between Hollywood and Ft. Lauderdale)in the early 70s.

Haven’t heard that one in forever. I’ll have to pull the album out of the toxic waste dump and give it a spin. Good time crusin’ song back in the day.

Thank Vince's car

That poor,old, beat to hell EB3 body went for $316. Could be a good start for a mod.

But why isn't it safe for work? <confused look>

We don’t use steam engines, is probably the truth of it.
Plus it has had boiler issues at times.

I spent part of the afternoon working on that one. Ziggy-era Bowie songs really give your fingers a workout!!

True, I really like bass work until Let’s dance, and sound is to die for, you can always hear it.

 

[Christine]

Nah, it'll be the EU.
And aren't you always?

Not for much longer

Nuff said getting political

 

[Christine]

I don’t really understand.
Do you mean like the Gibson Nikki Sixx Thunderbird?

A little yes but with a brighter red and with gold under it at the edges and maybe the back to create candy apple red and fade the red out towards the pickup slightly. Like this in essence but instead of black and tobacco it will be candy apple red and red

OK, I won't "like" it,but is it OK to LMAO? or PMSL?

A gentleman

 

[Christine]

Thanks for the new wallpaper

Is that what you call it in the States, posh! Ours is quilted though

 

[Christine]

I know. I recently went to braided line and wasn’t able to position it the way it used to be. But it’s temporary, hopefully this winter I’m going to to go AN fittings, better placed fuel regulator, and a mounted, aluminum housing filter. Have yet to figured out how I’m going to plumb it all though.

No problem! It’s one of mine as well

Sorry about the dirty tires and ugly back tires… those are getting changed in a week or two

I know I muck about a lot but seriously follow that advice or you could well be watching those shiny new tyres burn. Do something asap even if it's just some sort of clip to hang the filter clear, honestly petrol or gasoline whatever you call it and a hot sparky thing are a very poor mix. I spent 13 years with the North Wales Fire Service as a retained firefighter, this is stuff I know about hun, I've seen this very thing maybe once a year just in our small (rural) area

Finish-wise, a few drops of something spilled onto this body (the "natural" oil finish). Not quite sticky, but you can see and feel them. What's the best way to clean and care for the finish? My original plan if I won the auction was to paint this, but it's much prettier in reality than its ebay pics.

White spirit/turpentine substitute and maybe some 0000 wire wool will remove most sticky things from an oiled finish. It may need a little oiling afterwards but look at that as maintenance

Right up there with V's chicken and knickers experience

Which time?..

Ok! And with a quilt or tiger effect in the maple top ? Beautiful.

hmmmmm..... time warp....

 

[Christine]

Which time?..

What are you suggesting?

 

[JJR58]

Time well spent. Need a better workout? Try Panic in Detroit.

“Hang on To Yourself” is a real killer. That’ll get ones hands in shape.

Yes! That one's got some torque to it alright, I was just looking to post it and there you've got it...

Love this one as well. Another one with lots of movement.

Kashmir? I’m a little late to the party. I was in an outfit for awhile and we worked that tune relentlessly, most often without the vocals. It never really taxed me. I’m sure it’s a wrinkle in the time/space continuum and not a reflection of some kind of talent on my part.

I made the grooves in this record an inch deep.
