Thunderbird Club

[Miles_ONeal]

I just finished the third time listening to the mt. vengeance on repeat. (Gotta break for supper and a video call.)

1. Brian: What genre do y'all consider this? I want to submit it to Music Brains & would rather use what y'all call it. Beyond the driving punk base, I can hear influences from a variety of decades here. What are the general ages of the band members? I love stuff like this. There's dollops of psychedelica, Hendrix, grunge, 90s alternative, 80s synth, and in one case Missing Persons. (I'm guessing none of you dress like Dale Bozzio used to.) I heard some Dead Artist Syndrome in there as well.
2. I was having a really hard time not jumping up and dancing to "The Highline" so I danced in my chair while I worked.

I'll hush now.

Same here, even more so when you read about how it happened and what were the consequences.

Yes, sad story.

I highly recommend reading the first page of this thread:
Nothing makes me angrier

Before it gets removed. It is hilarious.

I know something of how he feels. It's of such existential significance that one is in my top 3421 that could cause a histrionic overload (aka hissy fit)....

My Ebony Vintage Pro has shipped! A little delay due to some billing hiccups and also COVID lag. But its on the way now!

Yep, you're going to be on happy bass player!

I wanted to reply "flamingo burst" but I couldn't find a gif of an exploding flamingo...

You could always make your own.

Second one is a broken image?

It was a well battered Fenderbird. It was there for a while. Oh, well. It had the 7ender thing involved, so I guess the gods of Fendre, Squier, Squire, and Ford didn't like it.

 

[MCF]

Fendre is a French Squier. Or maybe Squire. Like this, only French:

Certainly not one of these, only a Ford:

Nice P1800 next to it.

FlamingoBurst would be Burgundy Mist Metallic fading to deep metallic purple. Hmmm... I'm thinking there might be another refin project coming up. Either the bolt-on or the fretless. It took a long time to get around to the last one, and there are plenty of projects ahead of it. But, ya'll won't let me forget to do it.

Here's my demo, only one beer in. Still have some buzz to nail down, sorry.

This was all one take, Broughton P-15 all controls at noon, Union Tube & Transistor LAB compressor, both at 10:00, brand new GHS PressureWound M7200.

Neck, Bridge, Both in Parallel (Stock wiring), Series (Both, non stock).

I hope you enjoy it and make the mod to yours, I think it's a great thing.

Sorry for the playing in advance...

Sounds like a strong beer.

Just listened to Brian's (@bylar13) Poppy record. So good. Highly recommended.

OK. I'm officially now interested in considering moding one of the VPs to Series option. Dog gone you!

When I lived in Edinburgh the chippy over the road used to sell well battered Fenderbirds.

That’s why everyone should have two. Or four. Mod two, keep two stock. Different strings on each.

You know you're not helping, right?

 

[PillO]

Fendre is a French Squier.

Squier is obviously the lesser brand. Else it would be Squiest

Fendre is a French Squier.

Nah it ain't.
More like a crappy bass split in two by an axe-wielding really angry bassist.

180g vinyl, too. Very nice.
