I like Michael Buble. Apparently he sings too; who knew?Fire Fight Benefit Thunderbird sightings: 2.
Chuck Garric with the beautiful white VP.
??? From ‘5 Seconds of Summer’ with a beautiful black ‘bird for a couple of songs.
Now I see the fuss over the white. On a stage they really stand out.
regretfully, Michael Buble’s bassist didn’t have a Thunderbird.
Uh, thanks to both of you. I was hoping someone might have advice on a better starting point to move up or down from. I’ll figure it out. Neck pickup as it came is obviously too low.What she said.
Michael Buble? Is he still a thing? Don’t get me wrong, he is a talented guy. Just not my cuppa. But good on him for contributing.Fire Fight Benefit Thunderbird sightings: 2.

Well I prefer ZZ Top. Hands down.
Yes, I think of that Seinfeld episode, ‘the Buble Boy’
Alice Cooper, Queen & Buble on the one show. Who’da thunk it ?
It takes a reason for a show like that to put together a grouping like that.
His nickname should be "Tiny".
@PillO , sounds fairly grueling... but it probably gets better from here. Chin up, think happy thoughts... may your slumbers come more easily, and filled with scantily-clad girl-vikings (friendly ones) and dancing watermelons.

5 Seconds (or more) too long...
If we take the standard value of a thunderbird to be exactly $1,500.00...I remember telling my GF we lost over 200 thunderbirds when the stock market tanked during the mortgage crisis. Luckily I didn't sell off and got them all back plus many, many more. Pretty sure I could get over 267 thunderbirds for my house, but I need a place to keep them dammit.
My 2 (YA) daughters would disagree wife and I told we couldn’t speak while 5SOS were on. Yet, they were like a pair of cockatoo’s when Queen started. That stopped quick smart.

I'm partial, but do think the white is stunning. Mine sure is. Makes up for lack of talent in my case. A little. Pics don't do them justice.Fire Fight Benefit Thunderbird sightings: 2.

Then again, I really love the burst as well. Love that wonderful wood grain.

Well, you are one lighter and I sincerely thank you for letting it come to me.

I cannot tell if that pickup is a Dimarzio One or not. If it is, try it and see what you think.

I didn't celebrate the president. Instead, I rewrapped a drum kit. It was dull aluminum silver awful that looked ok for about a week in 1974. It is now blue sparkle that looked good in the 1960s and still does. The kit is a cheapo stencil kit, with the same bogus brand name as my 1960s kit: Reuther. It has some of the same quirky hardware. It sound completely different. Instead of thin 3 ply shells, it has 5 ply shells that are also thicker plies. The bass drum is a 22 instead of a 20, and the big difference is that the toms are concert toms with no bottom heads. It comes as close to growling as a drum kit can, and it does not need damping to kee shell ringing under control. It is a new adventure.
It is a much better thing to do than buy a mattress or celebrate dead powerful guys. Plus, I will be at work tomorrow anyway.

I bought a small pedal board, but not on sale. For this new band I'm playing with stacking dirt pedals for one part of a song, so I need a real board now, or at least one that can take four pedals or so. Also went to a friend's birthday party and talked to a drummer who's played with The Cramps. So that was cool.
You have my sympathy.
OK, envy.
