Thunderbird Club

'Brutal simplicity' are my watchwords.

Band name !

I think the guitar needs to be a little more chimey.

Stop going on about bloody ribbons, you're giving me GAS you bugger!

Isn’t chimey what the AC30 does ?

Haven’t listened yet. But I will.

They are like what I use for my trains Ken, I airbrush a clear gloss lacquer over the entire model, the waterslide type of decals need a very smooth surface so the film doesn't have any air pockets which would show up as "Blush" A decal setting solution is recommended too, it's a clear liquid that dries quickly, it slightly melts the film into to smooth surface, I usually do a couple passes but that's mostly because the models can have detail that the decal covers. After it's dry I'd clear coat it at least twice to protect the decal.
I made this PG as a replacement for a really trashed '76, using styrene, then airbrushed it metallic purple, cut the Bird from masking tape and airbrushed white over the top, followed by 5-6 coats of clear gloss, it's held up really nicely for at least 8-9 years now.

Yep, that is nice, but I really like that green one. Is that Inverness green ?

Bass, Amp, and pedal GAS are all gone. For the most part recording gear GAS is gone. But ribbon mics....

Ribbon mics... DON’T check out the Mesanovic Model 2 or the Stager SR-1A unless you want your GAS to get much worse. The Shure KSM 313 is shockingly good, with a price tag to match

How many digits are in an Australian phone number?

2+8=10

It is endless.

Too many.

GAS? I've got my 370 and a stupid-heavy cab for it (punchy like you read about), a smaller rig and a very small rig, all sound good. It's mostly instruments now:

*Gibson, or Cataldo (NR) 'Bird...
*Smith BT 4 string...
*Alembic Distillate or Stanley C, 32" scale w/ Ebony board, Walnut top, no markers...
*Rickie...
*Nice barky fretless, Moses neck, blank board...
*Jack Cassady Epi...
Should do it.

Y’all are tellin me you don’t lust after a 60’s Thunderbird?! I call BS!

There's a difference between lust and GAS.

Tomato, tomato... that expression doesn't really work in text.

It was an after thought, but the expression is still relevant! GAS and lust are still wants

Lust is GAS, up a notch.

Lust is GAS, up a notch.

When the turbo kicks in.

I would think GAS is something you technically could afford, but shouldn’t. Lust is something you never see a day being able to justify.

But isn't that what mortgages, loans, and lines of credit are for?

But isn't that what mortgages, loans, and lines of credit are for?

And credit cards with large limits.

Sounds like "Hot Rods."

That's the ticket!
