Thunderbird Club

I can refer you to a therapist for that.

Seeing a therapist is how I managed to get to be so normal.

(...) I don't think it will ever stop me from playing (...)

I salute your spirit, my friend.
Big hug.

Pretty skimpy get-up for Ontario, even in the summer.

These basses are nothing to BaCH at...

 

[Engle]

It does look super clean. At $1300 I'd be all over it. But considering its an auction with a starting bid of $1800 I'm just plain over it. There's better birds in the bush.

Especially if it’s really 11lbs

Painters tape is off..I took the opportunity to oil the fretboard.

Will this fit a VP? Looks like it should provide more useful adjustment range?

Thunderbird Thursday come on a Sunday this month, Pogo!

I played my CP at church today. Lots of compliments on looks and sound, including from the other bass players. I love this thing.

No need to change the bridge on a Vintage Pro. The Badbird is specifically for 60s Thunderbird

My VP is marginal with EBCFs.

I'd sell my '06 for less than $1300! I'd miss how wonderful it plays, but I still get frustrated with the tone. I think it sounds pretty good, then a few weeks later, not so much. I used it today with the Black Beauties and other than how superb it felt, I was missing the VPs or the real-deal '64. To add to it, I don't want it to be that way. Oh well, I haven't tried every string yet!

Oh no you didn't....? Yes, you did...... A friend of mine was in charge of UPS data security. I'm thinking of getting him to get his team to hack your computer and delete that file/image from your computer. Problem is, I can't delete it from head. I close my eyes and it's still there.

Yep, you just can't un-see something.
