I gotta think if you have a Thunderbird, there's some cool left....
You’re plenty cool enough for us!
I had been but took it off for some reason. My boss saw the drill press in my office (where I work on amps, guitars, etc) and got all excited.
How is that amp by the way?
I figure work people don’t need to be looking around my study. I have it so there is minimal in view. But still.
They can look at Sydney Harbour instead.
Is that like a lilac color?
Beautiful!
I've often thought a reverse Tele neck would look perfect on the NR body. Now that I've seen yours I know I was right. Love the color too!
Did you do the build?
Pretty good, for what it is...a small practice amp. Looks great but might just be a collectible item for Beatles fans? A Rumble 25 sounds a lot better though
Thanks. Hard to bead the Rumble 25. Best amp you can buy new for a Benjamin. The Vox would be cool for my office when this work at home stuff ends. But man, it’s expensive for what it is.
Maybe, but it's going fast!
You are very kind. It's all a matter of who one wants/cares to impress, or maintain some semblance of standing with. You guys are plenty good enough for me. After all, you all have Thunderbirds! Must be that birds of a feather thing. Just might be the largest collection of cool on the planet right here.

Thank you. I love my '64, but I feel a little childish in how fond of the VPs I've become. I could be a fan boy. I have some cool basses, and I'm not so sure that if I could only have one bass and it couldn't be the '64, it would be a VP.
I thought my “cool” ended in ‘83, when I sold my Kasino 200 and Mustang for cash for law school. But maybe you’re right. Just a different “cool” these days.
I'll take a # if there's room for one more!
I recently picked up a Blackbird by chance from my housemate, had fun with it, tuned it to B and realised it was going to be very useful! Straight out great tone and playability in a downtuning.
First thing I recorded for it ended up being a joke song we did for a Facebook group.
If you don't like dumb industrial metal, don't watch!

Anyone who has amassed that much Pelham Blue definitely has some cool left in the icebox!
(I don't care what Fender calls it, we know what color it is.)

You'll be hooked now. One Thunderbird just won't be enough. Your only hope is to stay away from this thread. Nothing but a bunch of very skilled enablers they are!
