Thunderbird Club

[MCF]

Nice. I kind of like that tune, but it may be due in part to Miss Hoffs' presence. Speaking of "yummy".

Yummy is an understatement.

I never let anyone tell me

I look at it more generally, including rock of any form.., at the end of the day it's all music, and those who are gifted with the want/need to be part of it (music) in any way, shape or form - to suppress the creative urge is not acceptable. I know people who are not musicians who absolutely love music - and they have all their lives so far. To feel like that and also make inroads to play music - that is who we are and never let anyone tell you otherwise.

^Well said!

A real man would bleed on the bird before making any changes...

CB has drawn blood and smashed fingers in his workshop. And yet he still comes out swinging, that's gotta 'Count for something.

Yep, nailed it.

That's the long-term defiant part of rock; "hey man, you should face reality and act your age" - reply; F-you!

Yeah, I was being glib and looking for an excuse to say Justice Beaver.

The hero we want, but not the hero we get.

I have to ask cause i easily forget. Does your '91 have the bridge pu'p mounted in the neck position?
I also have CBuckers in one of mine and thinking of switching p'up positions. Just curious.

It did. Right now it is apart for paint. The bridge pickup will go back to neck position. Unlike Carlo, I do not give a rip whether the bridge and neck pickups are balanced.

 

[Gaolee]

I swear I feel like the only one who's perfectly happy with the stock TB+ in my 2013.

My 2001 has stock pickups. It will have stock pickups as long as I own it. That will be a long time.

 

[Gaolee]

The only bass I ever smashed was a Jazz so there's that.

Wise choice.

 

[Gaolee]

Out of frustration I threw it at a sound guy.

Which end first? Or spinning? I can see advantages to each option.

Pumped after rehearsal today. Got so much done as a three piece -- not missing the former singer. This guitarist we found on the bloody internet is a monster and it was only the second proper rehearsal with her. Fingers crossed we have a new singer in a couple of days time.

Played through a Trace Elliot 215 (1524T 400W) today. So much better than the Hartke 410 I've been using up until now.

It's a good feeling when people click -

When you start playing and realise 'we're actually not bad...'

When you start playing and realise 'we're actually not bad...'

It's a beautiful feeling - savor the moment and do all you can to encourage it to continue. If you feel that way there's a good chance the others feel that way also.

Happy with my 2011 as is

The poor zoom recorder isn't coping too well with the assault. Try this for size.

I am psyched for you. And a little jealous! Just a little...
