Thunderbird Club

[dagrev]

Is it just me or do other people call her Miley Ray Cyrus?

I've never heard that, but with the people I'm around Miley just doesn't come up! But I can see it being a thing. In fact, it's official now.

She doesn't live in Kentucky, right (though her dad was from here)? Please say no.

I saved that to Bookmark. I must have clumsily typed ‘Jethro Tull’ as it autocorrected to ‘Heathrow Still’...

A Brit - Kentucky mashup ???

I think that Epi 5er would be happier with bridge and pickup covers

Some of us will always opt for wearing as little as we can get away with.

I didn't get around to this earlier. Glenn Cornack. And, he played a Thunderbird, among other bass guitars. I don't know what he recorded this with.



I'm trying to learn to play that in the next three days. This won't be pretty.

It’s a challenge.

 

[MCF]

That's an easy choice for me (assuming each singer at her prime)...
Going on looks and vocals:
Debby Harry - had bedroom eyes, sounded mostly sober with just a hint of punk
Stevie Nicks - looked like she's was wearing bed sheets, sounded stoned with a trademark nasal voice
Janis Joplin - always had that next morning bed hair look, sounded drunk and belted it out

So I guess I'd go with......
Linda Ronsdat - innocent look but gifted with a phenomenal vocal range for a rock/folk singer

Truth be told, I'm a huge fan of each of them. In fact here's Janis and I hangin out in NY...

It has a bridge cover, added since that pic was 'tooken'. Note also that the 67 still had the original PG. Here's the 2 'Birds more recently.(yes, I'm aware it's not yet Thursday-here anyway)No pup cover since the P pup might get replaced.

Mike took an awesome pic!



Congrats, man... you've come along way. *sniff sniff* *tear in my eye*

 

[Gaolee]

Well you never know, one day we might both appear at one of those Americana and postpunk-goth-glam-metal-misery gigs they put on all the time (or maybe not).

I would buy a ticket. Er... No I wouldn't. The earth would wobble.

Thanks. The flip phone does OK outside in abundant natural light. That shot was taken on a day we didn't have thunderstorms. Most of my other pix have been in the house.

I was actually thinking Mylie.

i was thinking Joni.....

Nah, those things don't last that long.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Nah, those things don't last that long.

the the other day at the airport they asked me to put them through the X-Ray!......you can almost see through mine lol...

That sorta b.s. makes me glad I don't need to fly.

They were probably having a little fun at you.

LOL - some days I feel like a hundred!
Let's do the math...

She died in 1970 at the age of 27. In the pic I posted of her and I together I was about 50. So if I was 50 in 1970 at the same time she was 27 that would make me about 99 years old now.

Not a bad guess on your part! Maybe you have a future guessing age and weight at local carnivals.

Actually she lives at the same address as Justin Bieber, funny how you never see the two of them together. Maybe they're the same person...

.....stranger things!

nah, they seemed pretty engaged...at least they didn’t call me “Fredo”....

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Nah, those things don't last that long.

You need to buy Havaianas. They'll outlast your strings, possibly several times over.

...Now I Just need to contact Hipshot about the Supertone intonation screw length; I can't quiiite get D and G string bridge inserts as far out as I need them for intonation. But it plays great.

I wrote Hipshot about the intonation. They're sending me shorter intonation adjustment screws. I really like this company. Good products, very responsive (multiple questions, two purchases now). And, I got this bridge from GC with a random 15% off e-coupon.

What's your favorite (guitar neck, ahem) nut material? My Epi IV has a plastic nut, for crying out loud, and yet it has always had tons of sustain.
