You may have to stop wearing pants.

I'm not wearing pants. I didn't realize they were required here.

 

[Gaolee]

I'm not wearing pants. I didn't realize they were required here.

Only grass skirts are required.

I'm not wearing pants. I didn't realize they were required here.

Nobody told me they were required. Uh oh.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Only grass skirts are required.

Ah. What about kilts? Or tie-dyed undies?

 

[PillO]

Ah. What about kilts? Or tie-dyed undies?

I'm not wearing pants, what would be the point of wearing underwear?!

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

These are all acceptable. For cryin out loud, this is the ThunderBird Club!

I think we just need to establish that neither pants nor underwear are required. Actually, I don't care, I'm not going to wear pants.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Nope, it probably won't be cheaper ever. Oh, well. I had my chance to buy a repaired one for $1500, as I recall. I passed it up because it didn't have a serial number. It seems like that's how most of them are these days. And, another oh, well.

then there's trend analysts who swear prices will drop considerably when boomers kick the bucket......paid 3k for my 68 and been offered 7 for it already...

Asset bubbles happen so infrequently.
Tulips 1634
South Sea company 1720
Canals 1490
Railways 1840
Stock Market 1920
Gold and Silver 1976
Dot Coms 1995
US Housing 2002
Commodities 2002
Crypto Currencies 2012

So, clearly we are not due for a bubble for at least a decade. Probably longer. Because, this time, it is different.

In the event one has to wear *something*. I'm a minimalist.
Plus, my awesome wife tie-dyed all my underwear, so I actually like 'em.

talking T-Birds, not tulips..

 

[Miles_ONeal]

They are kinda similar.

 

[BklynKen]

 

[PillO]

They are kinda similar.

Well, they both start with T...

But this time it is different. There can't be a bubble. Everyone wants one of these basses. There is nothing else that someone could use in its place.

Hey can I join the club? I picked up an 09' sunburst for a great price and am in love with it! It's currently with my tech guy getting a fret re-dressing, set up and strings. While it's there do you guys recommend I dot eh pot swap (500K for volumes and 250 for tone) and the orange drop cap mod? I eventually want to throw some different pickups in it so should I wait until then? Thanks guys glad to be here and I'll post a pic when I get it back!

I'll hold #759 for you on the list, we do need a picture of your new Bird for it to be official. We have several Canadians that are rather active posters here, you may Lord your superior Back Bacon over us Amis.

@Dr_Feelgoood212 is close. He can go visit @jumbo_steelie to make sure he knows the secret Canadian handshake.
