Thunderbird Club

[Inky13]

Ahem?

My band is sometimes known to play a song called “Crabs in my Mustache.” It’s pretty much what you think.

Not sure i could hang with ruining a perfectly good lobster steamed in crap beer, no offense. Never tried it, not sure i'd want to. And i thought i was a daring Chechen.

You’re OK to drink the good stuff while cooking with the budget stuff. Trust me, I’m a professional.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Oh my. That is a strikingly beautiful “cruiser.”

totally agree....cruising down Santa Monica or Malibu in that car would be a total GAS..

I think the US version of an AC/DC album omitted ‘Crabsody in Blue’.

I'm out of the gear buying game for a while now. Found out i gotta find a new apartment to move into.
Guess there could be worse things...............

But, the bright side is. Nice to hear about all the solid relationships here.

This is the best club on TB by far...love my Thunderbird peeps! We go from relationships to seafood in a NY minute lol! I love seafood...learned to love raw oysters because my boss gives us tickets to the local sportsman's seafood dinner..and those hillbillies (no offense to anyone) make oyster stew to die for and we do snot shots of oysters ha ha..went to Ireland last fall & ate salmon 6 out of 8 dinners...but the stew in the pubs was the best
Met my wife once in 2013, didn't see her again until a gig on Father's day 2017, went on our 1st date Sept 16, 2017, married Dec 29 2017...I hope we make 30 years even though we'll be mid 80's......and she LOVES my basses and 100% supports my G.A.S.

yeah mountain folk (Sierras) around these parts favor oyster omelettes....apparently a very popular last meal request on your way from the pokey to the gallows back in the day.......go figure..

On Thunderbird bases...

"It is a very cool base with a unique sense of intense and a very cool base just because people stand on the stage, but it is probably the most difficult base to play in the world. Anyway, because the weight balance is head heavy, the left hand must always play while supporting a heavy neck. It is quite rough for short people and beginners. However, even if Thunderbirds do their hard work, they are still popular bases in the past for bassists who emphasize stage effects."

You might want to pass on the La Bella Gold flatwounds.
The gold tapewounds are nice but I don't like what I've read about the flats since I first posted that.

Tried them when they first came out on my now departed Goth. Didn’t care for them.

where did you find that if I may?

 

[MCF]

As you are aware we are looking for a new singer. We have heard from four people. Three who supplied links so we can tell if they can sing in tune or not. The other *wrote* a few hundred words ... but was unable to offer us a preview. She prefers to 'live in the moment' and 'explore methods of maximising the potential interplay between all instruments' -- life is too short.

I’d let her audition for the entertainment.

 

[MCF]

Same, 30 y will be Jan 2020.

35 this June.

 

[MCF]

Damn straight! Especially where i live, a business opens up, 3 months later, gone.
This is a tough town to live in, in more ways then one.

So my daughter will be starting a new job next month. It’s looking like after her training, she’ll either be in NY or Boston. Rooting for Boston. Sorry....

No apologies necessary.

I tried these DR strings on mine.
Looked good but the tone was nothing to get excited about...felt pretty bad, too.
The Aurora colored strings feel and sound much better.

I need to get that stenciled on my cases.

A UNIQUE SENSE OF INTENSE

And maybe

THE MOST DIFFICULT BASE TO PLAY IN THE WORLD

Complete with spelling error, of course.

[MCF]

this just came on, on showtime...anybody see it? along with Jeff Baxter, one of my favorites..

Humm. I’ll have to check it out this coming weekend.

Sales copy for a Thunderbird 'base' from a Japanese eBay seller. I run across such every now and then and as much as I think it is funny, I've always been a fan of the absurd and Zippy the Pinhead so it's a reminder that interpretation of a subject is everything. For the record, I enjoy the abstract translation and not mocking the source.

That's really great. But even with her support for your GAS, please don't subject her to the Dutch Oven.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

You crazy Chucky.
But what do i know.

dude, spent my early years in my birth town of Newport RI....ate so much lobster that I hated it...folks used lobsters as currency over there.."Fix my car for some lobsters?".....mind you, to this day most locals over there don't know what a W-2 is......

Oh, a little mocking won't hurt.
