Thunderbird Club

[MCF]

Things are a bit slow in the Bird club today, so I'm jumping over to the GP for a quick walk through the insane asylum. See y'all in a few.

Are you nuts? Ha. I do that when I'm bored too. And don't want to work.

The Mesa TT 800 thread got a little heated the other day when someone in Austin called out Mesa because his local didn't have gear in stock. That was entertaining. I could feel the ever polite Aged Horse holding back from just an outright lashing out at the poster.

There are occasionally threads in the BASSES [BG] section I would like to share my thoughts with but anytime I see a thread that just started today with 20 pages - I don't bother. Very few people read the original post and nobody even scans through the following posts before unloading their wisdumb. Even when entering a reply early in a thread answering the OP's question - 20 posts over 15 pages later answer the same question. ah tb...

No Birds, just a whole lotta dinosaur cat.

Not a T-bird, but a T-bird shaped object (fretless no less) being played by a young Sting. - happy page 7777 -

Hamer is one of my favorite brands. Probably #2 on my list.

I pretty much monitor it for a few things I'm interested in or want to learn about. Any build by you is at the top of my list...

(blush!) I mostly hang in the Luthiers Corner. It's like when I was in High School and hung out mostly in the Art Dept!

The Epi has great bang for the buck, I like these pups as much as vintage ones. Next for me is the burst.

Now you're talking! No one can stop at one THUNDERBIRD. Especially around this group.

Kind of all over the place. We are a diverse lot, aren't we.

That Lull...... Never ceases to amaze or get old, even if it does have the superfluous string. That's the best pic ever of it.

Thanks. Actually it's a Spector Rex 5 Pro (but I'll trade it for a Lull ).

Three piece maple neck through and Solid Maple wings, 5 string, 35" scale and active so it's quite a bit different than my other birds in just about every way, but sounds wonderful and looks killer under stage lights. If you find one in the wild (for $700 or under) grab it, discontinued years ago, they are getting hard to come across.
