Thunderbird Club

So @JIO I heard an old expression on the radio this afternoon. Thought it might float you boat.

I was ‘full as a goog ‘
the presenter said.

Used to have an Aussie friend that used that term when he was three sheets to the wind.

Hang it low and rotate the neck up. You end up with straight wrists on both arms and an easy reach for both. It is different, but so are Thunderbirds. I play a P on occasion and it takes a bit of adjustment.

+1

And another +1. It's interesting to put yourself in a position to have to adapt. New and cool things can come of it.

Soccer players have their Bend it like Beckham. We have Hang it like Novoselic.

That bass looks like a guitar in his hands - he must be a big guy. (like Pino)

But what's a "goog"? I did a job for an Aussie couple last week and I asked about "struth" (translation- 'Gods truth' or something like that) and they said it wasn't used much anymore. The US learned of it through Crocodile Dundee (late 80's) Another term I heard from an ex-Aussie gf was "full-of-beans" - being ready to go, energized.

Nice! I picked up an RD at L&M yesterday. It had to be at least 12 lbs

I've pretty much liked every Eden I've played through. To my ears they have a nice warm presence, a bit less punch than GK amps I've played but a very nice solid supportive sound for the band, great team player. One of these days I'm gonna be in SC with some spare time to drop in on one of your gigs. Have a great one!
