Thunderbird Club

A J, with tort.

Like this?

Not a great pic, but it actually doesn't look bad in real life. And I hate tort.

We called them poodle heads

I like it!

Hope all is well. Never heard a doc give that as to what to anticipate. This was a real doctor, right? Hoping you bounce back quickly.

She's absolutely world class and down to earth. She was actually impressed that my #1 (ThunderJ) is 8 lbs 5 0zs

It is not Thunderbird Thursday here, it is Percocet Thursday. Yesterday was surgery Wednesday. I'm splinted up real good, but it seems like surgery was a success as fingertips move! That means in a few weeks I'll be able to play again!

Hey Pillo, sincere wishes for a complete and speedy recovery.

I got "roto-rooter'd" today, going under anaesthesia is always dicey, or so they say (I've had a blessed life). If anyone has had it done, approximately how long before I can pick up a Thunderbass or return to practice. The Dr told me the next 10 days will be gnarly.

Which procedure is the "Roto-Rooter"?

If memory serves, Dusty not only had a lot of gain, he also ran an octave pedal to fill up some of that space.

If you mean a colonoscopy, you should be fine almost immediately, I've had two with anesthetic both times, no issues at all.

Its a TURP, reaming out the prostate, in this case with micro-scapels to preserve removed material for analysis

Go and keep a mask on.

Wear a clear plastic bag over your head, painter taped to your neck. If you believe in that whole breathing hoax, cut a hole and tape a sponge into it with a mask on the inside.

Oh, and don't forget to spend a half hour in a hot shower when you get home. Shower partner optional.

Salami is for sandwiches!

I am due. The first one, I started to wake up at at an unfortunate time. The person with the dope valve noticed and knocked me right out again.

That sounds un-fun.

Rapid City, SD went well tonight

Maybe, I only recall him saying he used a touch of chorus but live and in the studio. But that was years ago. ZZ Top has a "rig rundown" and goes over everything, but it's been a while and I don't recall one way or the other on the octive pedal, but it would be a great option, especially a three piece band.

When we go out as 3, I use my EHX Micro POG, octave up during guitar(or bass)solos. It emulates the Steve Cropper/Duck Dunn guitar/bass unison...sorta.

Ouch! I had the green lazer prostate surgery a few years back and while it wasn't enjoyable (aside from being knocked out for it, thankfully before scope insertion) it seems much better than some of the alternatives.

Breathing is so overrated...

Gnarly might be an understatement, 10 days might be an over statement for playing your bass at home, but I’d imagine going out and about and high energy stuff like stage performances might be hampered a bit for a week or two. Never had the joy of that operation but one of my golf buddies did a few months ago. He wasn’t swinging a club for a couple of weeks.

What year is that Jazz? I think I have it’s brother…

All original 1968 Fender Precision bass, with glorious original tort, which IMHO looks fine on a FSO but hideous on a bird.
