Thunderbird Club

Belt buckles aren't the problem. It's rivets in jeans, and even the belt loops. Thunderbird bodies end up low and to the right when I play them, meaning the watch pocket rivets make dents right through an untucked shirt. So it goes. I don't needlessly damage things, but I don't coddle them, either.

Roger that. I bought the guitar player belts because all my shirts were getting shredded between the buckle and the bird.

I question Utilikilt's bona fides. They sell underwear.

On the other hand, the Utilikilts sounds like a Scottish pop-metal band.

The conductor of a concert band I was in informed us that he would be wearing a kilt for our St. Patrick's Day concert. I 'piped' up "Regimental?" The confused looks on most of the band member's faces were priceless. The conductor's look toward me was less so.:whistle:

You and the conductor probably confused everyone by discussing wearing a kilt for an Irish holiday. I'm sure @fasterpussycat would be happy* to school you on why Scots are not Irish.

Pretty much what I was going for ;) I can't wear my bass that high though.

PinkBird is on the way to Seattle. I hope UPS doesn't do their worst.

UPS has it. All it has to do is cross the country and the get chromed back out. You can sure see the wear in the underlying bass through the new paint. That's fine with me. It's not brand new, just refinished. I'm very happy the serial number is still completely visible.

The '01's paint is getting dull in places, and the back is wearing where pocket rivets dig in. The damage isn't intentional, just proof it's well loved. This one will be like that soon enough.

I will have to learn to dress better. It will leave me for Veronica if I'm not careful.

Wow! That's going to look fantastic! It already does!
