That’s a beautiful Thunderbird!
Nikki has a red Thunderbird too. But it isn’t the Natural Cherry.
Boiled ribs is how dog food is made. Not meant for human consumption.
For people with no patience. At some places you need to ask, "Pardon me, but do you ruin the ribs before BBQing them?"Come to think of it you might like my '76....Ah, ok. No worries at all.
I thought I was losing it more then usual.
The back looks as good as the front....

I don't believe she's naturally blue, either.
I'm debating which Thunderbucker to put where. I have a 66n and a 66s. I'm thinking about putting the S by the neck and the N down by the bridge, since I use the bridge pickup as a balance tool and never by itself. The neck can be blowout powerful since there's a volume pot that can cool it off if need be. Or maybe I'll behave properly and put the N where it belongs and the S by the bridge.
Decisions, decisions! Balancing them isn't important to me at all.
Wait a second... The background changed. There may be shenanigans...Come to think of it you might like my '76....

On what basis are you opining upon her mental state?
Are you soliciting opinions? If so, I concur - S at the neck and N at the bridge.
Skeptic. Certainly looks blue to me.
Don't think you can go wrong either way. When dealing with complex and nuanced aspects of a decision one thing I try to keep in mind and factor in is which coin I'm going to use to settle the matter.
That's my subtle hint something just may be going on.
Or he could do the logical thing. Get another Thunderbird and another set of Thunderbuckers and do the opposite to it what he does on the BMM. There. Problem solved.On what basis are you opining upon her mental state?

Post-work pics for admittance into the club
These pics do a better job of showing off the Cherry Sunburst. It’s a beautiful finish, imo.

There is some variability between thunderbirds and likely between pickups. By my math, we need at least 3 degrees of freedom, thus a need for an additional 3 thunderbirds and sets of pickups.
That’s a beauty, too. I know the “standard” colors are vintage sunburst and ebony, but it’d be nice if Gibson would throw in 1 or 2 additional colors into the rotation each year. They’d definitely sell. Look at how well the current non-reverse basses are doing. Just 1 person’s opinion!
