Thunderbird Club

Well, you know. Flavors.
I've recently gotten re-acquainted with the original Mountain trio, and a while back learned that Felix, the bass player laid down their album tracks with an old Gibson Thunderbird-II bass. TEETH!! AND I really dig that sound they got. The Vintage Pro is said to get into that neighborhood by default, so I'd like to bring that to the "Stoner-Doom" prog project.
That's my excuse, okay?? :)
Whatever works.:thumbsup:
 
New carpet?:rolleyes:


No, not quite it......






Maybe it's the cat? :unsure:

Greetings all. Here is my amazing new all time player Im considering getting rid of a few others(non t-birds) to find a non reverse. This Pro IV chose me and I didn't know why at first but sure glad she did
Beautiful! One of these days I’m gonna have to try out a Pro IV. If you’re not already a member of this club feel free to join. It’s a great bunch of guys and gals with tons of insight on how to get the most out of your Tbird. :bassist:

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but for some reason I’m seeing double and feeling a little off kilter today. :roflmao:

Off Kilter? Off Kilter (band) - Wikipedia
 
Not quite fun, per se....


But I definitely would have preferred if the bottom cab wasn't the "light" ( :roflmao::laugh::roflmao: ) one.
I used to use this(Peavey late 80s KB-300 keyboard amp; 1x15, horn, piezo)for a bass amp. Built like a tank; heavy as a 53 footer. TBird sounded great. Killed my back.

But you could probably roll it out the back of a moving 53 footer, and the only thing to get hurt would be the road it landed on

A new Non Reverse is highly recommended! Meantime, let me know if you'd like a club number and please feel welcome here, ask questions, we don't use the search function!
