Thunderbird Club

[Chucky Stiletti]

1971 - when the 360 shook the earth

their TB club always seems busy....

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Bizarre thought: combine Townsend and Daltry with Dolenz and Nesmith-"Who's Yer Monkee". I'll go to my room now.

FANTASTIC IDEA!

Take the Magic Bus to Clarksville and I'll Meet you at the Station...

You can be there by four-thirty
Boris made your reservation, he's very small
Crawling up the wall
Hanging up the call


This kind of stuff is the icing on the T:B cake.

I love icing.

Not even Mesa’s 412?!
What kind of Mesa endorser are you?!

The kind that makes his own cabs

Never got into their sound.

Can’t say I ever did either, but the bass player, Larry Taylor is a Hoss. Saw him play with Tom Waits a couple times. He also played with Kim Wilson as well as Hollywood Fats

I love this kind of weirdness. There are whole bands dedicated to odd intersections.

I got the Goth back from my neighbor after a 2 year period and the action had "grown" somewhat...not unplayable by any means, but it was strung with Chromes (which still sounded amazing on this thing) and it was like a left hand finger strengthening exercise ha ha! man those things were tight...anyhow, decided I'd get a black tbird pickguard for it..(because all tbirds need a tbird on them!), put the trc from the other Epi IV on it, made a truss rod adjustment, and strung it with regular Slinky's that I had laying around....sounds awesome but since it had flats on it...I might put Cobalt flats on it...I love them on the 7ender.

This was the former #1 bird until I got the VP. I bought the stainless pickguard about 9 years ago and it has resided on the Goth for the most part. The guy that I bought the pickguard

from threw in the trc for free, but I had to grind off the nut end to make it work. The holes were spot on for some reason lol. It also has Hipshot tuners (like the Goth) and a Hipshot bridge. Strung with Black Beauties...needs more shiny stuff though, maybe some Chinabuckers at some point!?


I know some have been asking about gig bags for the VP...no experience with those, but the VP will NOT fit the old EPI case...toooo long


And the 7ender...with tort...look at it..LOOK AT IT!!! LOL! I just got a bwb one in the mail...it'll be going on tonight..do you see a pattern here? Rob needs as much black as possible ha ha ha! And the poor Rick...It is beautiful, I love the neck, it needed a proper set up from day one...I just haven't bonded with it....so off to the local music shop for sale it goes..sad thing is, and I know this is superficial, the main reason it's going is...it's not JetGlo

I had that exact same Ric 4003w. Just couldn’t make it work for me so it went to someone who would appreciate it more.

Shallow and superficial are both fine traits. Be proud of shallowness.

Plus, chrome. Shiny!

I have had a couple Rics over the years. I still get Ric GAS every so often. They are really beautiful, but for whatever reason, I just don't play 'em.

Yes, such beautiful instruments...just quirky...said the thunderbird player I did gig it...and I know that I needed to work on e.q. ing in addition to a set up, but it just was too much fiddling around...I like plug & play

I have the albums by both Beatallica and Dread Zeppelin. Great bands!

I played one for two years. I liked it well enough, but it just wasn't a keeper.

I didn't know Ozzy still had a TV show. It fits nicely into my category of - if you are on a celebrity reality show, you are no longer a celebrity...

Sharon has said that Ozzy does not have Parkinson's disease that he has Parkin syndrome. However, Parkin Syndrome is a type of early onset Parkinson's disease, so Sharon showing her usual flexibility with the truth...

Typical Parkin syndrome has a symptomatic onset in the 4th or 5th decade (30s-40s) so it coincides with leaving Black Sabbath and his emerging "old man" posture early in his solo career. Interestingly, the earlier the onset of symptoms in Parkinson's disease, typically the slower the progress.

He is an entertaining clown in the new TV show (I guess he always was)
Whatever ails him, he’s been living on borrowed time since the 70’s!

Also see Hayseed Dixie.

Love their AC/DC stuff. See also The Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

That's a Hagstrom I've never seen - talk about north-south poles!

I was told there used to be a row of switches in that chrome plate.

Coupla things: what's Nesmith playing? Not once could ya see a name on the headstock. Davy Jones had a farm/ranch near Indiantown, FL, which is in the western part of Martin County-about 20 miles west of me. He used to be seen around the Stuart area quite a bit.
A guitarist I worked with in the early 70s had 2 of those Super Beatle amps-6x12" in each cab. Nice and light

Looks like a Fender Coronado II bass.

SOLD - For Sale: 1967 Fender Coronado 2 Bass, 0

I knew someone who had the guitar, it was a pig of a thing. Strings went through the hollow body -- basically impossible to restring anywhere but a well lit bench.
