Thunderbird Club

Get a dog and name it "go away"... The dog will understand, but the other humans will give you funny looks when you call "come here, go away"

Or they will think that you are Alexei Sayle.


Bad band name when posted on the marque out front; "Club Closed-No Show". Another is "Darts Night"... especially once the dart-club shows up with accurately thrown pointy things... :help:
 
The Bare Naked Ladies (Canadian band with some success in the US and elsewhere) were originally called Free Beer.

Heard of them - there was a Bay Area band for a while called "The Naked Barbie Dolls" ... always liked that name. My recent fave is a Scandinavian band called "The Amazing" ... as in, "...here they are, The Amazing........."

 
Ditto
Really like the looks of the Gen 1 version of the Dingwal Tbird best. Not too fond of the control layout on the D-Rock, I’d probably change that.

If I liked it enough after playing one - I'd design my own.

I don't think that I am smart enough to play one.

Everyone says it's very intuitive.
 
I've yet to play a fan-fret bass. Would definitely like to try one.

I had a Dingwall Super J/P for about a year. Played a 4 hour gig the same day I got it. Takes just a couple minutes to get over the visual hump, then I forgot all about it unless I was playing up really high, then it seemed a little odd at first. Thankfully, I don’t play way up high on the fingerboard much :)
