Thunderbird Club

[KaraQ]

Mine's not quite that antique, I don't think I still have any film cameras left.....

Decided to find batteries, to see if it still worked....and it did

I even found an old USB mini? cable for it to hook to the PC, and most surprising of all - Linux had no problem at all working with it





So, I took a pic......

It will stay stock initially and see how it goes.

I doubt I'll swap them. Don't mind it at all with the '13.

 

[MCF]

TT!

I finally got around to using the DR Red Devils on my 2001 Gibson. it's Thunderbird Thursday!!

 

[JJR58]

Just visiting earth again?

There are some good people here.

 

[KaraQ]

Since it's still Thunderbird Thursday, why not a couple more 'birds?

(and the last part, that came today, for my new PC )









It's kind of amazing how much more easier Linux works with my phone, compared to Windows 10

 

[JJR58]

Doc wants me to have one. But with history in my family I'm going poop in a container and UPS it to Washington....I mean the lab. Will pray it goes well for you.

Me thinks you’ll be fine.
Pray for UPS to get the sample there

@KaraQ I have not been able to get a good pic of how nice the Epi CAR Bird looks. I have tried, but it hasn't worked out yet. They did a great job on these limited edition finishes.

It should really go without saying but......I love that way that looks!

And species...

The, “Mu” species will be just fine.

Trying out Linux Mint 20.2, to see if it's what I want on the new computer. So far, so good...

Maybe this is finally the year it'll take over the desktop. ;-)

from AMXs to;
Adorable Citroen Ami coming to US
what happened?..

Oh for God's sake. Those things would be squashed like a bug around here with all the pickup drivers who consistently travel at 20 MPH over the speed limit.

I think one of their biggest problems is still application installs. Most people are used to just using a .exe file, everything's included, and it works. Or just click a link & click OK. No need for picking dependencies, which packages to install, which installer to use, etc. I was a computer major (....a while back.... ), so not too much of an issue, but Billy Bob & Linda Lou aren't likely to go to the effort, just to not use Windows.

But, I'm liking it a lot better than I did a decade+ ago....

Not to mention, all the truck drivers doing 10-15+ mph over the truck speed limit

That's not a metalflake?

I spent the afternoon with Silversun Pickups as the soundtrack. Occasionally I'd watch a video for a quick break from work. Turns out Nikki can dance and act as well as play, write, sing, etc. (I'd never seen the official Circadian Rhythms vid.) I listened to an interview. I think this would be a fun band to hang with.

Kara, I don't know if you've looked at any of their footage, but at least in recent years, she plays a red THUNDERBIRD a well as a burst. She gets great tones from her (SS) SVT...

Brian just plays Epis and Gibbies, with a 90s Sheraton and a 65 (IIRC) NR Firebird as his main axes. He's also got a sweet Midtown, among a few others.

Thanks! She is still my favorite bass.

That's not a metalflake?

It doesn't have those big flakes I expect in a metal flake finish, but I am not an expert in those matters. Is a metallic finish the same as metal flake? I apologize in advance for the stupid questions.

 

[MCF]

Not just his!

She was mine first!

A good way to spend the day. I have them (and my daughter) to thank for getting me interested in playing again. My daughter and I were in the car and she was playing a mix that had Substitution on it. I knew who they were from Lazy Eye and Panic Switch and went down a rabbit hole that night. I'm glad I did. They and Nikki really got me wanting to play again.

I'm sure it's fine. It'll never take over the desktop.
