Thunderbird Club

[BklynKen]

We have combination cat furniture/scratching posts and they sprinkle little bits of cardboard everywhere, the little darlings. They have no interest in catnip or cabinet grille cloth.

Or cleaning up after themselves. The slobs.

There seems to be an optimal point between light-weight and tone/sound delivery, and some units bring it and some ... don't.

I still use heavy. It might be overkill, but I never get caught short.

 

[Gaolee]

right... the only cases I get excited over are ones that fit specific overly long basses.

Here's one - O (1968) HSC

You are kinda making me miss the FreeBass. I'll never see another one.

 

[Gaolee]

Ok, I'm ten pages behind - what did I miss? Any good Thunderbird pictures or videos?

Is there ever anything else?

Is there ever anything else?

Probably not.

The outlet definitely came in handy though it might not pass today's standards.

From back when musicians were not too important to be electrocuted.

 

[PillO]

oh man, your gonna hear it from the hate patrol! I can already hear the complaints of headstock dive. Ignore them, haters gotta hate.

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

A little bit of me making use of my day off this week. I get totally immersed in this kind thing, later I'm going to work on "Old Admirals" by Al Stewart, the horn parts on the chorus are something I'm struggling with still.

[PillO]

does your cat attack the fuzzy covering on the SWR cab?...used to have to hide mine...

Where did you hide the cat?

 

[fasterpussycat]

Where did you hide the cat?

That's why the 310 cab .... crank the amp, hit bottom E and the cat shoots across the room.

Did some more parts on this one. Forgive the guitar playing...
Of course the bass is a Thunderbird:

Is it a requirement of Reggae to never play on beat 1 of the first measure of a phrase?
BTW, thanks for the earworm. I find myself singing "Mahna, mahna, etc." to yer bass line.

Isn't reggae on the 2 and 4 instead of the 1 and 3?

 

[Mvf]

Isn't reggae on the 2 and 4 instead of the 1 and 3?

And the kick is always on 3.

Now, that's the kinda gear i'm talkin 'bout. And not the bass or amp.

 

[PillO]

Well who isn't? Of course, I haven't been able to play for a couple of years due to shoulder injury.

Interesting article on new string construction. I don't get up there much so it's relatively unimportant to me, but still interesting. And sadly, very brief.
