With 3/4 of you, could you only play waltzes?You also.
3/4ths of our band got together Wed. afternoon to play a little. Felt good-and weird-to play live with others. There was a THUNDERBIRD involved.

The Dingwall is hands down, nothing else even comes close, the best 5er I've ever owned or played and was custom made for me. The Roscoe Custom is close, and why it is still here, I regularly get unsolicited offers to buy it. Yeah, the T5 is in that 2nd tier, but a T4/PT4/JT4 would better suit my needs. Plus, I would still have a Lull in the herd. 
Sorry, that isn't currently in the rumour mill. The current rumour mill claims an Epiphone Non-reverse Vintage Pro in a variety of colours incuding pelham blue, inverness green, burgundy mist metallic. And apparently it will have a thunderbird inlay at the 12th fret.
One year was a solid red and the next was a cherry burst (or perhaps the other way around).
Some forms of predictability are beneficial--and we are the beneficiaries in this context.
Please note the serious look.
We are all very serious here, and everything we say is true.
Right, my working week’s done so I’m going to get on my Thunderbird for an hour!
I’ve been learning some vintage Hanoi Rocks recently, time to get Motorvatin...
I figured that was where your user name came from. Been a fan since Mystery City was released.
I know, right?Stop it. You are making me insane.Oh how I want one of those in that color. Nearly a perfect bass with the perfect color with all that chrome!!!

Oh, yes it does! I don't remember which of us has one, but it's a complete knock-out with the red finish and chrome hardware. As I recall, it started life with black hardware and pickup covers. All's well that ends up shiny!
Nice Eppi! Welcome to the club where TBirds rule. Our queen will most likely be by shortly to knight you with a royal member. Until then, beware the melons!
Thx! The Dead Head Sled is a fun car in the canyons and on twisty back roads.
I grew up in the SF Bay Area listening to the Dead and attending their concerts. Some of the best concerts that I can't remember were Head concerts.
still in the market for one huh?Already gone.
Well spotted! 11th Street Kids is my all time favourite Hanoi song and Sami Yaffa is a favourite bass player of mine and a regular Thunderbird player back in the day! There’s some really bass driven tracks on their first album, he just drags the songs by the scruff of the neck from start to finish. I’ve been twiddling knobs to try and capture the sound as I’ve been playing some of these songs, great stuff!
Yes, the more recently released one that I’ve seen definitely had black hardware as standard.
He's a good guy, too. I played on the same bill once with a more recent band of his.
He is, I’ve met him a few times. He’s a genuinely friendly, really down to earth bloke!
Wishful thinking, mostly. With the rather unpredictable future of live music, I'm more likely to sell than buy.
