The exception is LaBella black tapes, I think. Aren't they all pretty flexible? The set I have is TI-like.

I have LaBella black tapes on the '15. I need to do some adjustments on it at the moment. I have been playing the Flamingo almost exclusively lately, which means everything else could use a bit of setup.

TSC's had our last rehearsal earlier for our Easter Sunday show, the 1st of '22. We're ready. It wasn't "perfect", but we are all game-day-players - I know we will be on once the downbeat hits. Regardless of level - no-one wants to embarrass themselves right?. :) So I know we can provide an acceptable show - that's a given at this point. What makes it all worth while in the long run is us having a great time/having fun while doing it! That's what I'm looking forward to!

I'm going with a bass that I have 100% confidence in based on most any criteria (and.., I've used it live with TSC's before with great success) - a bass that delivers the goods every time. It's not a T-bird - but a Dano is every bit as iconic as a T-bird in every way. My '68 Coral Deluxe Bass (Dano made) is more-or-less the same bass as a '63 Danelectro Dane. Same year as the Gen1 T-bird II. Something about this bass resonates w/me.

It's the spectacular mother of toilet-seat pick guard. That's the only thing I miss about the Coral Wasp I had back when.

This probably the best thread on TB. Insanity wrapped around a wealth of knowledge and opinion about the 'Birds.



Thanks for letting me muck it up a bit now and then.

All you have to do now is play a Thunderbird and you will be truly one of us. You know you want to.
