Thunderbird Club

Two nice priced birds in the classifieds:

For Sale - Orville by Gibson Thunderbird

For Sale - NYC LOCAL: Fender American Original 60s P, Nate Mendel P, Epiphone Vintage Pro Thunderbird

That's a great price for the Orville, they're fantastic basses! I've know the seller since back in the days of The Dudepit, great player!

Kudos Kara! It's coming along very nicely. Love the tuners, it's a shame all that beautiful gearwork is on the back of the bass. So how's she sounding now that you've got her all strung up?


Rant heard and echoed!
Anything in auto tune sounds like the chipmunks to me, hate that sound. Overproduction is just as bad. I like polished as much as I like raw bands but when it approaches or exceeds the level of glam rock a little bit goes a long way. IIRC a lot of the Grunge movement came about as a rebuke of overproduction, I think punk rock may have had a similar catalyst. So there's hope, maybe someday soon we'll see a resurgence of garage bands putting out raw hard hitting music.

Sorry Charlie, no autotuna for me.

Greta Van Fleet was in that vein. but the second album was... Disappointing.

Yeah, that Orville is really tempting.

Mine had chrome covered Gibson pickups as stock, Chinabuckers currently.
Love the bass, very well made, again more than a match for a VP, more faithful in shape and headstock size, set neck.

The power of Green Things!

I discovered them on Little Steven's Underground Garage (Channel 21). Awesome pop/punk.

It is. I’m still listening to LSUG through the app even though my Subie spends most days in the garage.

Well.....................what are you waiting for?

Hi folks. Hope all are well. I've had a rough go of 2020 and need to part with some stuff... for all the chasing of this SS that I did, I have to let it go

Sorry to hear that, my friend. I've been there. Praying the stuff sells soon, or some money just shows up.

I hate to here that. I hope you can find other options, but if not, hope you sell what you need to take care of other matters.

I just learned that young Scott Walker briefly toured with The Surfaris (Wipe Out) in the early '60s!!! Firstly, thought The Ventures did Wipe-Out (they also did) but The Surfaris originally 'penned' it. Not pictured here - but toured with them on bass then!

Likewise. I'm not usually up early enuff to catch Kelly's show and I only have LSUG in the gigmobile.

Luckily they weren't plugged in. Prolly the strings weren't even right for him.

At that point in time - likely.

Been a long time since I've seen a VP for sale by an individual. Selling a VP...who does that? Buying them is another matter....

I think an even better question is why you'd put Thunderbuckers in a VP and then sell it?

Sorry to hear that, my friend. I've been there. Praying the stuff sells soon, or some money just shows up.

Thanks for the thoughts folks
