Thunderbird Club

I think GC has this labeled wrong....I think its a VP. I'd jump on it if I wanted to get divorced...:roflmao:
Well you people aren't helpful. I just bought this VP. Wife approval included. That makes four Thunderbirds now (and the old Epi Embassy).

Not sure what this will look like upon arrival and there may be some crazy stuff going on. Hopefully the send what's in the pic.

Damn! I was going to take a ride to the store this weekend to check it out before buying it. :sour:

Hey you bought it before Scott @godofthunder59 snapped it up;)
 

Saw Sammy just after he released his first album (after leaving Montrose). He opened for Eddy Money who opened for Boston. In fact, he was such a unknown person he walked out in the concourse to and got a drink and we talk a little and joked about what we were drinking. Must not have been meaningful conversation for him. Never been invited to his house!

Because perfectionists, among other things.
It’s hard to get a good picture in the Telecom Rooms, but we have some decent cable dressing on my site:

Well, if it gets returned by you because it doesn't play well or work out well, chances are 1. It's not coming back to a store in Mass and 2. I would probably reject it for the same issues that you found :)
I was thinking I might sell it if I don't click with it. Well, not really much chance of that I suppose.

I'm at three now. That should do it for the time being. Btw number 3 is something special, I took it to rehearsal this week and it's just alive. Amazing bass.

I posted it here specifically to temp someone to buy it before I caved in! I hope it works out and you rock it for many years to come...;)

I was tempted, but (a) I need to get a better amp first and (b) we're about to do a push on the books and marketing costs money, too. That looked a steal!
 
...That looked a steal!
We'll see. I'm not wanting to get my hopes up in it being in "great" shape as indicated. I'm a skeptic by nature, but sure am hopeful. Even if not in great shape, it still seems like a good buy. As long as there are not funky neck bows or twists all should be well. It's a chance worth taking.
