2007 Thunderbird - Heavy Modifications Underway

[Dave W]

I always thought I was the Ranch. Or maybe Blue Cheese.

[Highlander]

Balsamic... with a touch of virgin olive... 

Brett... pass over the popcorn, salty I hope...

[Freuds_Cat]

Sorry Ken,  Buttered. Will that do?

[Barklessdog]

Who is the salt John? 

Without a doubt Rob- he gives his opinion flat out, which I respect him for, he's just being honest. The Bulb thing still burns from the salt!

Ouch!

[Chris P.]

Any news on the mods?

[uwe]

Did I hear my name mentioned?  I don't have issues with any of those mods, that TB will be something special! Not modding my TBs just means that I have enough other basses (Gibson and other) with good upper fretboard access so I'll gladly leave the TBirds with their structural impairment. And I've never found the three-point hard to adjust, probably comes from all the practice I have with my various Gibsons.

Maybe your handle should be "Lord Of The Three Point"

[uwe]

Done!

[Highlander]

... I guess I could provide the fuel for the fire... 

Buttered 'll do Bret, I can always add some salt of my own... 

... and Barkless (John?)... If Uwe changed his handle all sanity would leave this place...     

[Freuds_Cat]

What sanity?

[Highlander]

If the majority rule... who looks mad in the madhouse...?

... and remember, "No one here gets out alive..." 

err... bassists, and others... we appeared to have wandered from the path... shall we return to the T'bird...?

Good Grief... I just did something "normal", even "rational"... "We're doomed, we're all doomed..."    

[n!k]

Still in the shop, but supposedly they're going to have me go check out the progress soon. I've been busy lately so it's been only the sugarplums of dreams for now.

My setup on the T-bird when I sent it in was damn near flawless aside from a rattly G-string saddle. I just think the Warwick design is a dream to maintain. Stylstically, I was really interested in what a "modernized" bird would look like. I wanted to keep it similar to previous T-bird elements (like the '76 wiring, the 60's two-piece bridge, the 90's black hardware, and 00's lightweight tuners) and be a little unique. I've a got a few ideas for the new pickguard, i'll keep you posted!

[n!k]

Finally! Some updates! Here are some in-progress shots. I went down to feel the new cutaway myself and it's awesome. Just needs to get the routes rounded out, smoothed up, and painted.

Looking good !
