Please.... No. Lord have mercy.

Thank goodness I wasn't checking our the chrome.

HONORARY….by default..

Thank you, but I don't think I am worthy of the title "Honorary Geddy Lee"...

Not a problem. I am rarely wearing pants or a shirt when reading Thunderbird Club.

I was led to believe it was the required uniform.

Just a grass skirt and/or watermelon

If your Thunderbird doesn't sound like the bass part here, don't speak to me of your "angry piano".

Speaking of pickups......Here's 4.

"Film at 11."

Very cool!

I too share an exact birthday with an F1 driver and it’s non other than Michael Schumacher, 1/3/69. Damn shame what’s happened to Michael all those years ago.

Turns out I share a birthday with Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. Not the same year as either of them, though.

Classic.

I keep reading here about Sunburst finish on a Tbird, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. I’ve seen stock Silver burst and Tobacco burst but not sunburst.

Thank you! This is why I had quotes around the word. Not every burst (or fade) is a sunburst. Not by a long stretch.

Meanwhile, I've said before there are some beautiful burst birds. I just want variety. A II in a true, 3 color sunburst? Drool-worthy. But other colors, too. That 4 pickup custom would look perfect in a greeburst with MOTS pickguard. The ultimate 60s bass.

@TBird1958 Unless he is and I'm forgetting, I wonder if Geddy Lee should be member #2112. He's certainly got enough Thunderbirds.

He's practically the TC patron saint.

Did they play Thunderbirds, or an inferior bass?

Note for explorers & Net.Cop: I'm kidding about "inferior".[1] It's just something we joke about here.

[1] I think.

Is that why you're in a dress?

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Just carrying Scott's bass is important, but not that important. If he ever makes anything of his life and makes it big that would be different.

It's really sour grapes on my part. He bought the blue '64 that I loved that wasn't really for sale--until he wanted it. I'm sure he could cough up more money than I would have been able to.

that’s it! let’s go grab a beer!

 

[GonePlaid]

I just have to share these. Even if you don't like Geddy's singing, or you find 7/4 time incomprehensible, you have to think that sitting down for a beer with these two guys might be the most fun you have ever had.

Hoping they'll 'do' a porter/stout.

When did you get that tattoo - Nice!

Someone asked for a photo... regarding post #192218

The tobacco burst is the Epiphone. I played it all afternoon today. Dang, it sounds just like the Gibson but it is a heavier piece of lumber!
