Thunderbird Club

[Miles_ONeal]

As I mentioned, I liked it back then. Liked the music because it seemed a little different in some ways. Now I find it abusive to my ears.

I liked the Carpenters a little then too.... (Liked Bread more since I have a softer side.) Bab's was a no go. Captain and Tennille were clever for one song. It was all pretty cheesy then but we didn't know it because most everything was.

I liked the Carpenters off and on (mainly my mood). I liked some Bread, but always wished they'd done more songs along the lines of "Mother Freedom" (although I don't like it as much today as I did then).

NP: Hawkwind "Space Ritual"

and KC and the Sunshine Band...WTH were we thinking back then?....

Ugh. I was never a fan.

Or you could just get a set of needle files.

That's what I meant. Much cheaper.

While I've never tried this, I've heard that using old bass strings to "file a nut" by moving it back and forth over an existing string groove works well to open the groove to a larger string.

I tried that without knowing it was a thing. But all I had were strings that were too small compared to the EBCFs going in. 90% or more the way there, but not quite...

One word: Cobalts. The president of the PF Club will be along shortly to confirm.

That only works for nuts allergic to cobalt. Ahem.

My last comment got me wondering... the TC rules say nothing about self-ahemming. Is there an unwritten rule about this? A rule in invisible ink? A guideline like with the Pirate's Code? Help a bird-lover out here...

Big bad Greco fun.......... Turn it up!

Flats? C'mon guys, it's early, can't we talk about Rounds?

I thought you were going to suggest we talk about pumps or heels...

Been listening bit more to LS recently and much to my surprise, so is my acoustic-guitar duo singing partner. She showed up my place Sunday, asking Can we do Simple Man ? So we're working on a simplified version. Beautiful song.

I have a S/SW friend who does a great acoustic version! She's usually solo, but lately has been singing with a friend. It's lovely both ways.

Hate to burst yer bubble. 75 through 80ish, prolly played 200 times. Although we did have a little inside musical joke in our version.

Yes! What's the F?

 

[Tooned]

Anyone know of new colours coming for the VP? Something inline with the Emabassy and JC would be nice.

 

[69'Vette]

Yes! What's the F?

Fernandes. It's a Japanese copy. They usually do Gibson copies as Burny and Fender copies as Fernandes. I've seen their BC Rich copies with both names, but I much prefer the F on this one.

Your tuners look black in this pic, I'm going to assume it's the photo's lighting that is causing that.

You are indeed correct--bad lighting. They are typical and in good shape.

 

[dagrev]

gotta love the internet when disputing the validity of a repair....

Nothing wrong with it? That thing is shot Chuck. I'll pay shipping to Louisville to get that broke down head out of your hair.

True!
