That's wonderful. The second part, obviously.LOL - wish I had seen that clip when I was 20.
It took a couple of months to realize I was dealing with several different and very distinct personalities. She was in that danger zone part of the chart most of the time we were married. After five years we had both had enough. My second wife (36th Anniversary is coming up) has been a dream. She's even an enabler of my car and guitar habits and loves my Thunderbirds.
Looks good!This arrived the other day. Logo looks a little cockeyed. Or I am.

Prolly both.
OK, how did you get that clip. Do I have a neighbor that sent that to you? Sorry, "neighbour?"I'm sure that will go well. Be sure to post video of that...

Maybe, but the VP is going to be more of what your ears are used to. Get the VP! IMHO.After digging back a helluva lotta pages and reading a coupla comparisons, I'm now wondering if I'd be 'happy'* with a Classic Pro.
* a very relative term
Completely harmless tribute. Honorable name for an honorable bass. It's a compliment for goodness sake. When a Thunderbird or Native American complains, I would then listen to what they have to say and only then. Life is too short to hunt for offenses, especially on behalf of other people--who likely are not offended.Here's one for you guys and gals. I was showing my basses to my girlfriend last night - she's an archaeologist and anthropologist - and she took exception to the name "Thunderbird" and it's logo. Resulted in a mild argument. So I submit to the group - Thunderbird: Cultural Appropriation or Harmless Tribute?
You were right, my friend.Pretty wild stuff, right? The argument was me accusing her of being too PC and sensitive.
Pete, gets more camera time than the guitarist..........Is that a black '79?
Ditto!Send my regards to Mr. Fixer. I miss him around here.
A Buddhist friend wears a rather large one regularly. To her it is a symbol of her faith.
Just for S&G I looked up swastika. I knew it had been used by some southwestern Native Americans, but I had no idea how many other cultures had used the symbol, whatever they called it.
You can follow @PillO and his adventures here:Oh my. I didn’t think the YBA 100 was even released yet?
I like that a lot. Except for the bridge.Someone posted an ad for an Ibanez 70’s NR and it tweaked my brain causing me to remember that I used to own a 70’s Japanese NR. I had sold it to my nephew, who still has it and is willing to trade for another bass. I think the long scale Jag is gonna go.

Looks like Joan Jett.

Or Freddie Mercury on the first couple of Queen albums.Looks like Joan Jett.
You might want to get a name and a pic first.....Can I claim the position of being under the oversecretary?![]()
Ooooooh! I bet it sounds even better than it looks!There is a warm glow in the music room...

Yeah, that would be my 2nd choice(1st being the hoped for RI, VP, NR, TBII/IV, etc.), but a $250. difference is a substantial draw. And I tend to favor a mellower, less "TBird-y" tone. Still in the "thinkin' 'bout it" phase.Maybe, but the VP is going to be more of what your ears are used to. Get the VP! IMHO.
