Thunderbird Club

I double dog dare ya.

The Duk is back in town and playing tonight, and of course I can't go.

Me? If so, you didn’t miss much. Had a fill in drummer. Great guy and good drummer, but a bit laid back for what we do

Lots of Birds in the background. I haven't seen that many Birds in the same store ever!!

Count the number of 7enders in the shot - only one!



OK, there are many more 7enders in the store - they do sell well. But, L&M is very good for carrying a variety. My local currently has 2 VPs, a bolt on, and a pro-iv on the wall - 4 birds.

What, y'all just gonna $hit all over my college drinking experience? 'Gansett and Genny Cream all day, everyday. Accept no substitutes. Except maybe some Yuengling.

Everybody drinks crap in college. For most, it is the first time being an independent adult and broke. So we all drank the cheapest mass production beer. Could be worse, I remember girls who drank "champagne" that was baby duck.

Duk, I says. - Little Bill

Yeah, been meaning to see Eskimo Brothers for quite some time now and haven't been able to make it work. That disappoints me, so you guys will just have to roll out to Smyrna and play a set in the living room for me and the roommates: Derek and his girlfriend, Hennessey the pit bull and 24 ball pythons...and my two Thunderbirds.

Not all of us. Because I worked full time I was in college from the fall of 1988 to 2007. Four years of college in 19.

I use the Colonel Flagg approach. I tell people I'm not Geddy so that they think I'm Roger Glover. It keeps people from figuring out that I'm really Gene Simmons.

That is epic.

By the way, I hold copyright on the title of Nashville's Worst Bassist/Bass Player, so don't use it without paying me. It'll be the only money I make being a "musician".

 

[Dr_Feelgoood212]

Had a gig at a brewery today, half dozen bands played, at least two thunderbirds in attendance, my Greco and the band right before us had an Epi Classic Pro, my band mates kept jokingly asking if someone had stolen my bass.

James Ready 5.5 for me. Bottom side of the caps had different names so you could make your pornstar name.

Guess I’ll have to live in a town outside of Nashville, and call myself the worst bassist in that town.

A gimmick squarely aimed at college kids... And it appears to work.







Wish I had thought of it.

The price point and 5.5% alcohol is what got my attention, the names were just a bonus.

Touché

@Count Bassie ...can't be any worse than this...

There can be only one...

(Sorry Dylan!! )

 

[Count Bassie]

Yeah.... no.

TBH I found it eye catching and amusing so I guess it works as an art piece.

Personally, I would prefer as a 2 string - E A ; that would improve the functionality ( I don’t expect that was a huge requirement ).
Besides I only use E A.

(joking, but only a little)

The next room had a model of a foal/yearling laying dead on the floor. The eyes looked real enough to be quite off putting. I assume it is a statement on our drought... but I don’t know for sure what it was about.

Sounds like it was a successful piece.

Yeah, we think alike. They're flying the birds!

I'm happy being the Bad Fish in the Relatively Big Pond. LOL!

Ever really notice that 'faraway' look our s.o.'s get when 2 or more bassists start talking?
