Thunderbird Club

[PillO]

Dumbasses abound. Wireless takes care of them tripping on the cord at least.

It is impossible to make anything dumb-ass proof. It is an arms race. Every time you take anti-dumb-ass steps, the dumb-asses find a work around. And there are more of them than you.

Sometimes you have to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes. Reboot the car.
Can’t wait for driverless cars!

Step one for everything these days - turn it off, disconnect the battery, hold the power button for a ten count, reconnect the battery, and turn it back on again.

Ah. But what band is it?

"EarthQuake". Out of north CA.

Maybe I shoulda done that with my van.Oh....wait......I'm a dumbass.(see? I left out the hyphen)

Is it a bolt-on neck?

The irony is the best part.

With tropical foliage in the background, it's either you or Kat. With Katbird red flowers, it's Kat. With foliage that matches your shirt, it's you.

Flowers?

 

[fasterpussycat]

Oh...

What's everyone's thoughts on the Jackson JS3Q thunderbird bass?

Also, is anyone on here the one selling the blue one on the EekBay right now?

The Kelly Bird? I tried one at my local L&M but it wasn't for me. IIRC, @godofthunder59 had good things to say about them.

Yup, the Kelly Bird. That's the one.

I really need to start another hardcore band

Idle stop and go turns off the engine when stopped for a very small (imperceptible) improvement in gas economy at the cost of greatly increased wear on the starter.

Someone should be reading up on "false economies".

And battery.

Second try for Thunderbird Thursday action shot. I was only able to download one of the picture from the show we played last Saturday....

Wow, it must be nice to be young - or at least physically fit. . .

 

[Glenn Johnson]

Same

You guys make the most of a minimal approach. Really great!

As for myself, I mostly rely on dumb luck to get by.

I’ve had to do that with my Subie. The tailgate goes wonky if someone tries to close it manually. Usually you can reset it by holding the switch down for several seconds. But a couple times I’ve had the disconnect the battery. Total PITA. Isn’t technology great.

Our 08 Chrysler 300 had a power window issue and resetting the car solved it.

I bought the entry level mahogany body Kellybird, paid $189 for it. Well made bass, plays great. Pickups are a bit weak.

You buy it used, or new? Seems like that has to be a used price, right?

You’ve caught on to how we roll! Never ever use the search feature or try to read through tons of pages to find something. That’ll drive you nuts. Most of us here need to read things a few times before the info sinks in anyway, so repeat questions or subjects are always encouraged.

 

[TerribleTim68]

It's always a cringe moment to be honest. I'm so used to forums where the immediate response is "USE THE SEARCH FEATURE!"
