Thunderbird Club

[PillO]

IF I ever get my new van back, I'm planning to put black perforated vinyl on the inside of the rear side and liftback windows. They're already factory tinted about as deep as is legal, but every little bit helps.

Apply a wrap to the outside. Something like this could be theft deterrant.

Hmmmm. In my mind Scott was always riding some kind of Indian Larry motorcycle. I never gave any thought to how his gear showed up at gigs.

I thought he just spun Mjölnir and rode the storm.

Hadda look it up. OK, then.

A Subarban outside of Texas? Is that even allowed?

They are certainly common across the southern half of the US as well as Texas.

For me my 2014 Honda Odyssey is the perfect gear hauler. 3-5 basses, three heads, 3-4 cabs, cable case and pedal board plus suitcase etc. Hauls this pile of gear with ease. Best gear hauler I ever owned. View attachment 3621920 View attachment 3621920View attachment 3621926 View attachment 3621927

Wow! You must be moving a LOT of air with that rig! Cheers!!!
Edit: And great sounding air I might add.

 

[Glenn Johnson]

Somehow I didn’t picture you driving a Honda minivan.

I would have thought military spec Hummer.

It's Alive !!! Almost a NBD. With her head glued on tight and all strung up, intonated and tuned up including some truss rod tweaks as she settles in....
Observations:
(1) I forgot the saddles are numbered (4=E). It's been a long time since I took a whole bridge off.
(2) When she popped she blew the tape wounds right off two of the strings, LOL. Gonna order a new set.
(3) I kinda forgot she has M. Lull Pups, so nice, so big.
(4) Shot of Johnny Walker Black with my pancakes?

Back in the day Neil used a hearse.

 

[Count Bassie]

Pretty good! It's a relaxed sound they have, enjoyable to listen to. The riffs are there, but it's a different take on the performance. Nice.

Note: that was to include your piano playing. Simple and clear, you brought Mr. Powell's little melodies forward and they are featured in the mix. That was cool.

A little something for my Thunderbird Brother Scott.
I visited Seattle's Museum of Flight yesterday, (it was quite the tonic for an otherwise grey December day) and enjoyed spending four hours or so amongst the many beautifully set aircraft.

Here's the MOF's P-47D Razorback. One big, badass plane.

Thank you, all...I was not the biggest fan of southern rock. More of a Cure/NIN fan, LOL. I have a whole new respect for their musicianship and then I learned that even though plenty of southern rock fans have political/societal views I disagree with... the band itself were relatively progressive thinkers. It's funny but when I joined my first band as a piano guy, the leader said..oh no, I am not gonna pay you to play on just 7 songs...you are gonna learn to play bass. Thank you Dennis wherever you are.

It in part is a ruse, I like to travel as low profile as possible. The van has darkened windows and absolutely no stickers labeling it a band van. I'm more worried about thieves than groupies at this point.

Do you have a Baby On Board sticker on it? It actually wouldn't be far from the truth in a certain way. There's also the George Carlin version, Rabid Pit Bull with AIDS On Board.

In the European theater that would have definitely been my ride! If I'm being picky a D with bubble top canopy and wide paddle blade propeller.
