Wouldn't (Tu)be (Tu)esday make more sense since we have (Th)underbird (Th)ursday? 
Clearly. But it's not Tuesday!Wouldn't (Tu)be (Tu)esday make more sense since we have (Th)underbird (Th)ursday?
It's a tube farm!
Those pics look like they're taken in a mad scientist lab
. (said with the utmost respect, as I know next-to-nothing of tube amps)
Çest bon! In all fairness, it looks like that because the Mad Scientists phrase was coined in the hey day of these devices and they ended up in movies and photos....partly cause they look soooooo cool....Those pics look like they're taken in a mad scientist lab
(said with the utmost respect, as I know next-to-nothing of tube amps)

I was ten, and living in Blacklick, Ohio. I wasn't aware of Kent State until somewhat later. News travels slow to rural Ohio, even though it was fairly close.

For symmetry, shouldn't it be Thunderbird Tuesday and Thursday Tubes?Wouldn't (Tu)be (Tu)esday make more sense since we have (Th)underbird (Th)ursday?
...or maybe we could do Tuesday Thursday and Thunderbird Tubes.
Looks great. Tort looks at home on white Fenders. BTW - is that a toasted Birdseye maple neck? The figuring is beautiful.
Translated - "not butter"
Took me a while to figure out that is a Steve Harris Lado Bass but that picture reminds me of Dave Mustaine for some odd reason.
I hate that, Mark! So sorry, man. I missed hearing about it first time around. What happened?
I actually have one of those, I don't mind the pickups & pre-amp too much. What bugs me is the huge fretboard - almost 2" wide at the nut
Yep. Neck and fretboard drove me to sell.
...or maybe we could do Tuesday Thursday and Thunderbird Tubes.
Is Tuesday Thursday the day after Monday[1] Thursday?
