Thunderbird Club

OK, the hockey thread.:bag:

I've heard International hockey is much more like a real sport and less like US All-Star Wrestling on ice. Not that I'd want to get in an argument over it.., on ice.., with a stick... :blackeye:

If someone has not heard a singer, a song, a type of music - it is then possible to introduce them to it enhanced by your excitement and depending on the circumstances they may or may not like/be receptive to it. But when someone knows the singer, song, type of music and has already made up their mind about it - best to be content to enjoy it on your own and possibly find others receptive to enjoy it with. It happens all the time.
Not really sure what you mean by this comment, especially since you don't know the type of music that I like. :cool:

Hint: The Beatles, Yes, Steely Dan, Rush, Return to Forever, Jethro Tull, The Police, The Dregs, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Tool are a few examples. Modern mainstream doesn't do it for me, and back in the day, most of those bands were mainstream.

Doesn't matter really - and no offense implied regardless. I like many types of music, singers, songs that most people don't like, don't listen to, or don't know about. I just happily enjoy it on my own.

In the Powerhouse series, I always thought these look great:
Invalid Link Removed

Yes, mixed driver police and of the Powerhouse series these, I am told, are the weak link.

But they look great and the neighbours would worry.
I know a guy at Sweetwater who has one of these and really likes it. Seems like the best of all worlds in may ways, but often compromises generate unforeseen or unintended weaknesses. But they do look good and I'm pretty sure a Thunderbird would make them sound better.

FWIW, there is more violence in each play in(American)football than all 3 periods of a hockey game. It's just that everything is visible on a 'white' sheet of ice as opposed to a pile of 10+ players on the gridiron [what's the derivation of that term?].
 
I think I promised a photo of my p bass, an American Vintage '58, ash body in White Blonde, just strung with TI flats and covers reinstalled. Here it is:

Looks great!

My old '58 has GHS Precision Flats. Old fat punchy thump monster! I'd love to A/B one of these with my '58 out of curiosity.

That's one way of putting it - I think American football is also violent, but this is best settled... off court. :)
 
take off hose-heads - THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!!!

The top 4 most dangerous sports (IMHO):
1. MMA
2. BOXING
3. AMERICAN FOOTBALL
4. PICKING UP AND PLAYING SOMEONE ELSE'S THUNDERBIRD WITHOUT ASKING FIRST.
