Thunderbird Club

[RedVee]

I'd bookmark it too-if I knew wuttinahell yer talkin' about.

I post from my iPhone 99% of the time, so not sure you get the same options on the pc website.

See this:

Under you post I get an option “Bookmark” just left to the “Like” button.

That takes me to a screen where I can add a title to the saved post and save it in the ?Bookmark location?.

I can then go back at a later date to recall what I wanted from the post, in this case the DAC info, Other times I’ve bookmarked @GBassNorth Goth adventures, and many many song clips that get posted here. I go back later and play those at a more convenient time.

To get to the ?Bookmark location? I just go to the top menu bar and click on my avatar, this opens my profile page. The last option there is Bookmark. Easy Peasy.

Oh. I'm looking at buying a cassette to CD converter. I'm right on top of things, real cutting edge.

Oops sorry. I thought you were asking about Bookmarking.

I've actually digitized lots of vinyl for either CD or portability.

Just sitting down to watch a replay of the 'Lionesses' (sigh) playing the Arg-- Argentina.

 

[Butcherboy]

I personally miss you.

....not ashamed having these at home....

Narry a J among 'em. He's ok with me, so long as he keeps the salami for lunch.

Beautiful! Welcome to the club. You’ll see a lot of good natured ribbing about 7enders on here, but a lot of us us also love and play them too. Never can have too many basses.

About the only Fender razzing I've seen In this club has been light hearted tongue in cheek stuff more or less as a parody of the sometimes serious Thunderbird and general Gibson hazing that goes on in the TB GP. Tort comments here abound very much in the same manner as a reoccurring Monty Python punch line.
Anyone who is triggered by these things to the point of despise and disgust is probably reading way way too much into the comments.

I'd venture a guess that more than 90% of the members of this club either have or have had a FSO. I actually have more of those than I do Gibby/Eppi basses. And some of them even have tort guards.
Here's a spread of about half of my Fender clan...

There isn't a bad one in the bunch, if there was I wouldn't still own it.

The whole point of this thread isn't that we dislike Fender shaped objects, it's that we like Thunderbird shaped objects. I'm not aware of any member in this club that's here because they loath Fender, they are here because they love Thunderbirds. Whether or not they hold Fenders in such high regard is irrelevant, as is the occasional light hearted joking about FSO.

Some people need to learn how to read in context and not be so literal and thin skinned. Now, please pardon me while I go admire my latest Thunderbird acquisition.

I did that too for portability. In the seventies I transferred tons of vinyl to cassettes. When the ability to burn to cds came out, I put tons of vinyl on cds. Sometimes spent a whole weekend doing it. Then I put a lot of music on flash discs for greater portability through an MP3 player. Spotify has changed all that. There is very little that isn’t available to stream. I think about all those hours spent just to have my music available all the time. I’d still do it if I had to, but I’m glad I don’t.

Nice looking bar. The basses aren’t bad either.

As a relatively new member, I found this group to be very helpful and accommodating.

The thing that threw me off at first was what I perceived there to be very little actual Thunderbird discussion. I waded through pages and pages, not wanting to burden the group with redundant questions.

Then I figured it out.

This group churns through pages per hour where others add pages per month. It’s like a speeding carousel , and can be intimidating at first, but I know now that you can ask anything, in the middle of the swirling vortex, and within minutes you have folks chiming in.

What I’ve not seen is any hate or “search is your friend” snarkyness. Folks here are awesome, which is why the whole “7ender-hate” flame-out took me by surprise.

Probably someone just having a bad day.

 

[Count Bassie]

Nice! I always thought Show Me Mary would be a fun song to cover.

Totally! Lot of good tunes on that record. I have to go dig it out of that box now.

A Catherine Wheel was a medieval torture device. The singer of The Catherine Wheel is/was Rob Dickinson, cousin of Bruce Dickinson, singer of Iron Maiden, which was also a medieval torture device.

Iron Maiden (the torture device) is disputed. Many historians don't believe that such a torture device was ever used. There is some evidence that it was mocked up to demonstrate how uncivilized medieval people were. The forst known one, the Iron Maiden of Nuremburg was destroyed during WWII.

Iron Maiden (the band) has been used by US Army Psychological Operations. But, in fairness U2 and Paul Simon are also on that list.

My first exposure to Katy Perry was Fireworks. The video was so annoying I have ignored her since.

Actually, I like that one. It demonstrates some great vocal range.

I feel the same but will add that:
Because I am not burdened by the cost of a CD, I can check out music that I may not have before streaming. And,
It is better than radio in discovering new artists. Whereas radio limits you to what play list is being used, the Spotify radio function chooses music based on the preferences of other listeners to that particular artist.

I agree with you 100%. I've been around a little while longer, although the Bird Club is so busy I can't keep up any longer so sometimes I have to skip ahead, and this place has never (that I have seen)put out the Hate Card toward anything 7ender, members are always helpful. I don't own any 7ender anything but that's because they pump out so much stuff I haven't gotten around to picking up anything 7ender, maybe one day. Now, if anyone said Spector, I am a fanboy of Spector! But holy cow those get expensive fast!
