« on: September 23, 2008, 02:19:11 PM »I've probably mentioned this before, but a friend of mine insists that Suzi Quatro and Rick Derringer are one and the same.
Suzi is taller...
She was hot stuff back in the day. I first discovered her as Leather Tuscadero on Happy Days! That hollow body bass was intriguing....

Cool clip. I saw that show on VH1 Classic a while back. The Who and LS were both on MCA Records back then.

Gibson Basses / Re: T bird home brew fun
« on: September 15, 2008, 08:02:37 AM »In the meantime and back on track, does anyone have access to a CNC?
Yeah, I have a $125K Biesse machine just outside my office door. I don't know what we'd need to load it up with tool wise to do that kind of work, but I'm pretty sure it's a more advanced machine than the point to point one shown making the Firebird. We've just got 1/4'' and 1/2'' cutting bits, some drill bits, and a fly cutter loaded up right now.

WOW! That is awesome. Some serious drawing/programming going on. Looks like you have a point to point machine? I have a nesting based machine in my shop. Now if I could only get someone to draw up a non-rev T Bird for me.........

My bass playing co-worker and I are marveling at that dangerously pointy beast! At least nobody will try to hog your part of the stage. Watch your eyeballs! Looks like a good candidate for a pair of black soapy TB pups.

Gibson Basses / Re: Gibson "Thunder IV" on the 'bay
« on: September 12, 2008, 09:52:50 AM »It would be a bit of a gamble but it may not need anything other than a good setup. If the price stays low enough, you could have yourself a good deal.
Exactly!
I'm kicking myself for letting a cherry 5 string T Bird Studio go when I could have hit the buy it now for $700. I almost never even use a 5 string, but it's a beautiful axe. Would have been nice to have around.

That was a really great clip! Never really cared for those guys, but crap, they were apparently damn good before they got all sappy in the 80s.
First bar gig I played at the ripe old age of 15 was at a place owned by the drummer - Danny Seraphine.
And the Chewbacca comment...
LOL!

I have to thank George for that great pic too, as I used it to position the pups and neck pocket on my Fenderbird.
