Thunderbird Club

I was thinking of bringing my squier shaguar along for the next gig. GF sees me with it and says "no, you should 'wear' your thunderbird", LOL. I guess to her it is my fashion accessory and she like it.

Sounds like a reference...?

yep,...for BS...

I think my favorite is "bovine".

Like a cow? A few words/terms - glaikit, dof, dotish and hebete I'm not aware of.

I have a VM Jag SS that goes to every gig as a backup or if space is really tight.

Some terms are regional. "Dork", for example, did not have its 'accepted' meaning in Miami. It referred to a particular portion of male anatomy. I was rather surprised to hear it used in its current connotation.
During my time in the Navy, found out a lotta terms are used differently depending on where one is from originally.

Obviously a woman of good taste, hang onto her!

I have none of those things, but I'm a darn sexy merch girl.

I can't compete there. You definitely have that going for you now. You need business cards.

Whale anatomy if I recall. The things people say....

Great fun was had calling girls that who no clue what it meant. "You are looking so bovine today." "You are the essence of bovinity." At some point that stopped working. I don't remember much more after that.

There will be no JC this year. It is thinkable that I may have some fortuitous family event to sponsor in the coming year, as well as other expenses looming on the near horizon, so with sigh I relinquish... I got kind of excited at the opportunity, apparently I forgot myself. It happens!
Not bumming though- I've got good gear to get it on with, a band that's getting a good buzz, kids who are looking forward to lives with promise. And I'm getting slowly out from under the deep fog of debt. Life is good.
I will wistfully kiss Opportunity goodbye, hopefully she'll be 'round again.
Meanwhile, there is THUNDER to make.

Hopefully one will cross your path in the not too distant future.

Now my second favorite website.

Rosewood or maple? Why choose?

Just for your curiosity, zoomed in and lined up as well as I can,
Cataldo JAEBird - current Embassy Pro - current Tbird VP - J-Bass 60s spacing:



What did I learn? It appears that the location of the Embassy's neck pickup is not a problem. And I learned that a bolt-on with maple fretboard was ok with Entwistle, at least at one point in time.

I like J-type but would like to explore the Thunderbird world without committing too much money. I think one Thunderbucker rounted into the neck pickup position of a J-type would let me try it. Not the first person to think of it.

If routing into the bridge position there's a legit choice of higher, lower, or could split the difference. Since I like the J with 60's spacing better (the one with 70's spacing has the bridge pickup lower), I'm happy to learn that I need not go in that direction.

Maybe because of the shot you took to the upside of the head?

The Kelly birds are cool. I tried one and it wasn't for me, but they are cool.

Well, I have spent some time the last few days (productively?) trying to learn Metal Health (Bang your Head) by Quiet Riot. I end up being able to play it, but I will never memorize it. Rudy Sarzo has a lot going on for what is a hair metal song. And then I ran across this.

FWIW, I had a Lollar in the P-Bass Position but found it to be lacking in low end:

So I moved it closer to the neck and am very happy with it.

That would indeed explain the headache and ringing in that one ear.
