Thunderbird Club

[PillO]

A lot easier to understand than Cricket! I bet there's short on-line tutorials on how to understand how it all works.

Cricket is pretty straightforward to understand. It is just boring to watch...

Yeah, well that's ok, but it is so distorted I can't tell what the hell it really sounds like.
Don't give up your day job Tiger.
You wouldn't want to be selling basses for a living !

But I like goofy shaped stuff

It’s kinda Big Al shaped. Should’ve bought one of those

A good story... in retrospect! Pave face-plants are the worst - been there, done that. In one, my 'black-out' during impact saved me re-living the moment. (a silver lining of a concussion?) ATC I've been lucky and I heal well.

If I were to do a lot of riding, this would be my helmet. I want more protected than the top of my Thunderbird head.

V-4?

V-4BH

The V-4 is at home. It naturally has a brighter and less big sound than the BH, which is big and smooth. Then add the Heritage 410 and the BH can do some serious lows. But the Heritage isn't a dark and boomy as most Ampeg 410s tend to be.

An interesting little Thunderbird inspired object…

I can't recall who, but some guitar manufacturer used that body shape for a while. I can see it in my head, but can't think who did it a few years back. I like the shape.

EDIT: Yes, that's it Bent77! EB had the Big Al.

Wrasslin' ? Watched that when we were kids! Used to see Haystacks Calhoon on TV regularly. Then in University, we used to go to the WWF at Maple Leaf Gardens where we would cheer for 'Iron' Mike Sharpe (and got mentioned for it in TV commentary a couple of times).

I too don't understand bike racing. But I really enjoy the pursuit; the two riders start at opposite sides of the track and the race is won when one over takes the other.

I also enjoy the skiing and snowboarding pursuit; 4 racers on the course at a time. I have hopes that this format is brought to bobsledding.

I've never gone to see WWE (for a lot of reasons), you have my respect (or disrespect ) for enduring it! A guy that I used to work construction go to Louisville Gardens to watch it. The things he said people dead in the stands. I just can't picture old grandmas getting all worked up and spitting on the wrestlers they hated as they went by. Maybe we have a better class of lowlife than you do in Canada. I another guy I used to know was a "referee," but we never talked about it.

When there is demolition snow boarding and skiing I'll be a fan. I actually watch some during the Olympics (likely not this year). Needs to be more like jousting.

Tried watching that as well. Even after getting the hang of it a little didn't help much. It was more interesting when I was guessing what they were doing.

Yep. Have no clue what it can sound like. It could be the best bass for metal though?

The pursuit (ski cross, snowboard cross) is close.

My vision for pursuit bobsledding (bobsled cross) would be especially entertaining in the 4 man bob. In standard bobsledding, the two guys in the middle are just ballast. In bobsled cross, they could have clubs and actively beat on the other team(s).

I'm working on a concept for figure skating...

At a freak show, are the freaks on stage or in the audience??

I will refrain from posting a video of the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. I did see that show with the classic line up of Jim Rose, Bebe the Circus Queen, Bam Bam, Mr. Lifto, Matt the Tube, and The Enigma.

I will say that the Chainsaw Juggling Team is an awesome spectacle to behold.

I'd replace the clubs with laser tag handguns that you can use to target the sleds to cripple them by inducing drag or compromising the steering capability.

Paintball - aim for the goggles?

That would be fun-for the observers, anyway.
Met Haystacks(and Mrs. H)after a match in Tampa in ~1963. Very nice guy.

You need to see Will’s pink bird!

There was a promo many, many, mango seasons ago wherein Kristi Yamaguchi* checked Bret Hedican and knocked him on his fazaza. I suspect they had a lotta fun shooting that.

*(Mrs. Hedican, btw)

No wonder I didn't recognize it. An area I avoid - have only been in that vicinity once since 1990. (very touristy)

yeah I get it but as the Mission has the best pupusas, this place has the best empanadas in the city imho…

yours as well? nice rig…was asking cause I definitely need to re eq my 13 with tapes when noodling at home or playing out live…the TB+ sound terrific with the LaBellas but I need to either cut on the bottom of the E and A strings or crank up the mids to account for the string volume disparity I don’t experience at home…
