Thunderbird Club

[Bent77]

Anyone tried Gibson Firebird Studio with P90? It got P90, set neck, and Grover tuner. Not traditional I know. I've got a chance to purchase NOS for $900ish with hard case. What do you think about it? Not a secret that I want Thunderbird-Firebird combo .

Friend of mine has a studio. Are you able to play it?

A week ago Friday Who's That had a great gig at Iron Smoke Distillery, our first show in 9 months. He's a few clips. We did have a good turn out nice bit of applause at the end.

Nicely done Scott! The VP sure sings in the upper registers.

 

[Engle]

Yep

Finally someone caught a bit of my favorite song by The Who. Who's That giving The Real Me a go.

Yep that’s a great song!

hey friends, I saw recently there's a Epi Thunderbird IV limited edition custom shop version. I can't seem to find any info about why it's custom and/or limited. Anyone have any info?

I forgot to post this when we released this a couple weeks ago. It's our newest single. Our singer is going through cancer treatment in his throat right now. We recorded all we could before he started, at his wishes, in case he can't sing after treatment. I just hope he ends up healthy, the music is fun, but second to his health. I hope you like it! I recorded it with a very 'bird' like object....Schecter Sixx bass. I really like the active pick ups in it. I love all my birds though.

Sounds good!! Best of luck to your singer!

There are a couple of variations of this, some are the standard bolt on neck model done in custom colors, Candy Apple Red and Pelham Blue. They have the standard hardware and pickups. There are also some that have chrome hardware and different pickups, (they are in fact guitar pickups, as was discovered long ago on LBO) Silverburst and White being the finishes that come to mind, they are also bolt on neck basses.

They were mostly just limited run colors, some had differences in the pickups - I think one (t.v. silver, maybe?) may have had guitar humbuckers?
They're marked with "Epiphone Limited Edition Custom Shop" on the rear of the headstock, near where it joins the neck.

Last of the four recently recorded TSC's songs - Dusty Springfields 1969 pop classic



...and the bass played on the track - early '66 dot/bound J

Love the captain's chair there.

So how are you feeling about the 2021 NR compared to the 2013?

This. They are wonderful Epiphones. There is also a TV Silver version and an Ebony version. And they came with very nice cases. Prices have increased (like everything), but if you come across one in very good condition for around $600.00, with the case, you will not be disappointed. I have the metal flake Pelham Blue one and the Silverburst one. Both are mahogany bodies. @KaraQ has a to die for red one. The finishes, necks and fretwork on them are first rate. 1.73 nut width though, doesn’t make a difference to me, but to others it may matter.

Finally someone caught a bit of my favorite song by The Who. Who's That giving The Real Me a go.

I used to play that years ago, great tune for the bassist as is most stuff by The Who. Did you post a video? Never mind, I just shut off my VPN and it magically appeared, now to listen, is that off the stage or from the sound system? Great sound, I thought it could have been louder and the kick drum is too loud though (as usual)

I saw Entwistle twice in small clubs on successive nights with the John Entwistle Band in 1999.

I had reindeer tacos in Alaska. Tasty.

I had Cuy here once (unbeknownst to me until afterward) (guinea pig.)

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Is the name of your band the "Baldhead Blokes"?

jk, nice bird!

Nice! I thought you'd gotten rid of your Thunderbird.

I think whoever shot this was in a alcove out of the line of the FOH system and my stage rig hence the bass vol seemingly a little low, in all the other videos the bass volume is kicking.

Well, I could hear that it sounded great.
