Thunderbird Club

[D.M.N.]

On a BaCH related note, you might recall I recently bought a BaCH NR. I need to get a new nut installed and the bridge saddles properly filed. IIRC John Kallas lives somewhere near me (Camarillo or Thousand Oaks maybe?). He seems pretty BaCH knowledgeable, I'd like to see if he'd be interested in the work. Do you have his contact information?

I just contacted him through DM on here. He's very timely with his responses. I will need a new nut as well, don't like the stock black. He's out in Thousand Oakes.

Hey everyone. I haven't been around for awhile. The national parks and hiking trails have opened up. So I've been doing a ton of camping and hiking and exploring Oregon. I also had to move again

There's some outdoors gear I wanna buy and some stuff for my new place, as well. So.....I'm gonna sell my Ebony Vintage Pro.

I'm gonna post it in the classifieds later, but figured I would give THE CLUB the first dibs. If you wish to actually discuss buying it, please only PM me. The forum rules are a bit touchy, so I'm not even posting anymore details, until I get a proper classifieds thread posted.

Yup, he does Revs too but they don't look as good, read the fine print about what he offers, tell me what you think too!

Can't beat that price with a stick - it costs me that much for a wood blank.

Yeah, might need to make myself an Esquire, maybe in Lil Daddy Roth Flake...

I'll get you at recess for that.

No, wait, a lawyer might say that too...

If I knew now what I knew when I was ten, I’d rule the world.

Nice selection of interesting styles, not just Strats and Teles with slightly different pickup options like a lot of builders offer. Good that he’s catering to the cool kids too!

Lol I had this saved. The shape seems a little off and obviously the control layout is wrong. His work looks good and the price is palatable.

The weight for a Thunderbird body is a bit on the heavy side (5 1/2 to 6 1/2 lbs)

well , I might get a caning from some quarters, but seeing as genuine "60s Tbird IIs are very thin on the ground down under and I can't justify dropping 10 large on importing one, I guess I kinda made one.

I bought a vintage bass from a guy in Fremont (East Bay) who owns a car paint shop. He was partners with Big Ed Daddy Roth's son and had their whole line in his store where I picked up the bass. There were cool photo's on the wall of BEDR and his creations.

How many PMs so far asking about the other PUP?

none yet, but it sold very quickly on f/book marketplace along with the original Wilkinson tuners.

How weird is that?! I asked GEO if that was doable with my BaCH about an hour ago!! Wt7?! Anyone want a Thunderbucker?

Whereabouts are you? I’m a Sydney lad.

He's here on TB too IIRC.

I couldn't find him by his name.
