Just wow! If that sounds half as good as it looks, it'll be awesome.

Congratulations!

We've just started doing "Keep on Growing" by Derek and the Dominoes - though my younger amigos know the Tedeschi Trucks version better. Great song, nice bass line too!

Nice score there! I remember gigging mine for the first time, it sounded suitably seismic and band mates looking round mouthing "what the bloody hell are you doing?" Enjoy!

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1496406153' post='3311150'] Just returned from my lovely new Thunderbird - my first - and I tried it in a strap as soon as I got through the door. It just hung there, no head dive, and I had deliberately chosen to use a plastic backed Fender strap, to minimum friction to hold it up. The bass also happens to look and sound amazing, can't believe I've waited so long to get my hands on one, but glad I didn't wit any longer! The T Bird will be gigged tonight! [/quote] So which one did you get Dave?

We have considered adding Mustang to our repertoire. Got to give the public what they want

Wow, that looks beautiful!

As others have said, their earlier blues based stuff is great and Full House is one of my favourite live albums. Like BRX says, they helped keep things exciting before punk. RIP JG

I'm puzzled. I understood that to make a stance like Gibson's stick, they had to have made efforts to protect their trademark headstock/body shape or whatever (hence the approach Ric have taken). Various manufacturers have been making eg Les Paul copies for decades.

Great call - love the O'Jays. Trouble is, I'm supposed to be working, not grooving

Hey, thanks for bumping. Just added a couple to a great list!

Rattlesnakes - Tori Amos (no disrespect to the original) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FWoJS_VTPI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FWoJS_VTPI[/url]

Too shy - Kajagoogoo. Quelle fromage!

Very sad news - condolences. Winos, Rhinos and Lunatics was a favourite.

Tina Weymouth, Phil Lynott and Paul Gray (Eddie and the Hot Rods phase) for me.

Any larger estate should be fine. I've just run a Mondeo for 5 years, Passat, Octavia, Superb all quite acceptable with good reliability records and cheap to buy and run (except maybe the Passat). Larger estate rather than lifestyle - BMW 3 series, Insignia and A4 all look a bit pokey in the back to me, though all good cars in their way. I'm now running a V70 which is great for lugging and, equally important, has lovely seats

That is very nice! Sort of updated-retro looking. I've just obtained an Epi body to use as a base, though it has been stripped and will need painting. I'm hunter gathering for some nice parts to use. How did you get it to balance - just the Ultralights?

Blue Oyster Cult - Blue Oyster Cult

Derek and the Dominoes

West, Bruce and Laing

Beck Bogart and Appice

Saw John Otway and his band last night at the Shire Hall in Howden in front of a smallish crowd. A good humoured evening with some good songs and audience participation.
