Thunderbird Club

Is this guy a fan?

I didn't need any advice to blow up my marriage of 29 years. . . :drool:
Edit: No worries. I've found my soulmate, and she and I are going to retire together shortly! :thumbsup:
Edit 2: I normally would not have posted this, but I am stressed out today: my Aunt passed away yesterday and my uncle is in intensive care and may not pull through. Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer - trying to stay upbeat with the crew here on the Thunderbird Club!
I didn't read this. So sorry for the difficult time. Vent anytime. Just stick thunderbird in the post to keep everybody happy.
 
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.
I bought mine from GC and it is great. You are risking the shipping charge to your local store.
 
we went as the French secret police at last night’s party in Pebble...pretty outta control gathering....French champagne flowing like water.....don’t these people work?..:bored:..:laugh:

Did you injure your pointer on your left hand? (unless it's just the lighting it looks like you have a bandage on it)

Yes, but I figured it was worth the gamble. (The only kind I care to engage in.) My concern is they don't send the bass in the pic! Fortunately there's a GC here in Louisville, just not my side of town. Still no info on shipping and they've had all day.....

So many people say "I don't gamble" and yet they are married...

:roflmao:You forgot "uphill both ways".

My dad constructed a hard-shell case for my first bass made of plywood covered with 'wood-grain' contact paper and upholstered with maroon velvet. It weighted a ton. He even put 2 handles side by side to help lift it! The Japanese solid-body bass cost $40 (new) and didn't come with a case. He was trying to help me out by making the case and I was so clueless at 13 that I didn't even consider buying a gig-bag - I might not have even known they existed! Shortly after getting the case, I took lessons at a local mom & pop music store. I'm guessing it was at least a couple miles away (uphill both ways!) and I walked it carrying that heavy case. I would stop every block, set it down, and carry it another block in the other hand. I think it was part of the reason I didn't take lessons for very long.

Any time man, we are mostly in the same demographic, so we understand the need for some distraction.

I’m so sorry to hear that Glenn. We lost my aunt in January and buried my mother-in law yesterday. 2019 can’t end soon enough.

Exactly.

Sorry, man. Hugs and prayers for all.
