Thunderbird Club

[JJR58]

Well, you have to think it through.

I need to be ready for the Cali trip.
Other wise I’d go hog wild on my bass.


Look for the possible negatives.





Ask, "What could go wrong?"





NOTHING!

Have you started yet? Be sure and take plenty of pics.

Here's a quick demo of the Cataldo Basses 12 NR.

Dude, you know they make octave pedals, right?

Obviously just kidding. Looks and sounds great Scott. I've played an 8 string and liked it, but can't imagine 12! Must sound incredible in person.

That’s so different sounding! It almost has a baritone guitar/tack bass vibe to it IMO. I kind of think it would be more of a feature instrument in a band to go along with a four string Thunderbird.

Don't know if you've looked at these, but I got one a while back, it's pretty great for me, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it was slightly longer...

It's dawned on me I have some big iron in the basement, I'll do a demo with a Marshall or Sound City soon.

Which reminds me--I'd love one of these.

I have a pretty similar one:

Well, I might be wrong here but adding a T-Bird pickup(s) to a P-bass could make the headstock more fragile and make the whole bass more prone to diving. And muddy, yes.

Yes, please and thank you!

Ha!!!

I do like having the blend between the P pup and humbucker, but I just know a TBird type pup would be the way to go.

That's pretty badass, Scott. Can't wait to hear it in a mix.

Please do! If you have the Hiwatts around use them for the cleans and Marshall for the overdrive.
Anyway, the bass sounds great and T-bird pickups are really perfect for an octave stringed bass.

I need a tbird album to listen to on my way home beside cheap tricks debut. Any suggestions?

Yes you do, and I wish you lived much closer. Like next door!

Very good point. And turn a Pbass into a one tricky pony.

I know you must have said, but which Thunderbird pickup did you use Irv? And, the logo looks great.

But it might also cause it to neck dive and the headstock to pop off.

That’s an Ebay Chinabucker. It actually blends well with the Fender Samarium Cobalt bridge PU.
