Thunderbird Club

I need to go into business letting rich people throw money at me that way.
Just come up with a "NEW AND IMPROVED" version of something(whatever)and make unsubstantiated claims about it, take the money, and run like hell(2 overlapping song titles in one sentence).

I’m still living in the eighties as far as Stereo AV. Sounds good to me. We don’t watch enough tv/movies to justify the fancy tv setup. I’d rather spend money on music gear that’s way better than I am.
People keep giving me several year old stereos. I’m using what was a very expensive 7+1 receiver a few years ago with our 20 year old stereo speakers, with HDMI running to the Samsung 4k tv we bought last year- first we’ve bought (the crt junker died).
 
Not saying you did this, but often when that happens, someone used an instrument cable instead of a speaker cable.

Could very well be. That's why I'm waiting for tomorrow to go back at the store and talk to guy who sold me the head, he's a pro bassist sponsored by Traynor and knows his stuff. I'll make sure I get a good cable this time :-).

no offense or anything like that Mike but why am I not surprised the pro bassist sponsored by Traynor sells Traynors at a store?...:roflmao:
 
You know? Hanging out with you has turned me into a fan rather than a casual listener of them. Thank you.

I really like the bass line in this song.......Plenty of Thunderbird action from Mr. Gallup.

Ha ha ha !!
When I published my post, I had a feeling some of it was coming back at me, one way or another. No offense, mon ami :-).
Actually, I'm the one who went to him asking if I could plug in, my usual guy was on vacation that day.



That is so beautiful Mike.

Thx. Feel like I upped my game with this :-).

I think the case for the ‘13 is well made. The ‘15 case looks nice, but nails pop out unexpectedly.

I’ve got a nice case that came with my 2018, but I’ve only used it a few times. I’m mainly a soft, double bass case guy. But the Gibson case seems pretty solid. Maybe if would fall apart if I used it more.
