and of course, not wanting to put you on the spot I asked an open question; knowing it would be you coming back with the insight…..
thanks
I'm not sure what the issue is. PillO had a suggestion that seems very possible, but with my pics being the only ones affected, I can't help but think something on my end, but nothing has changed, I have no idea what to look for or do. And it's odd that some can see them and others can't. I know TB has been "hanging" more than normal, but it still seems odd.
That is the worst mish-mash of parts I have had the misfortune to lay eyes upon - where are @dagrev 's picture skills when you need them. By appearance, it has tele guitar electronics, 7ender bent plate bridge, tort, a switch in a wrong place (which begs the question, why is there a switch by the volume/tone) and a strap pin in the upper horn that probably has too big a screw.
Yours are not the only pictures that I can't see. And it appears to be random.*
EBCFs seemed very flexible compared to most flats, maybe even rounds from what I recall. I know you know this, but if I use 105s I very often need to lower the action, otherwise it's too much work.
Just had to put tort on it. Can't possibly sound right. Looks like they got the pups in the right locations.
I can view some of your stuff and not others. If you want to test a few messages with image attachments you can PM me. I think it’s on your end since I’m not having a problem with any other posts.
Same. I really like this amp. I never liked the SVTs.
Nice gold NR you have there!
(Go with it, it’s a running joke)
Unfortunately, the action on mine is as low as it will go without a neck reset(per my shop-well, not mine, the one I go to). IDK a way to get it lower and keep it original['cept the PG, of course]. I'm used to it, but I wouldn't mind it being lower.
I owned a mid 70s "blue line" SVT/810 in the early 80s. I'd have been better off saving the $$$ I paid for it and using my well known Kasino on the gig. The only really good thing about the 'peg was that I had the 'Bird plugged into the bass channel and the keyboard player had a[my] bass keyboard plugged into the 2nd channel for when I was playing sax or flute.
I get that. I’m actually considering attending the luthier school in Arizona when I retire to learn the skills to supplement my income. Working on guitars and basses beats practicing law any day. So much more rewarding.That's my main problem too
I'm much better at working on bass guitars than playing them
I have no idea what really went on 50 years ago. All I know is that both Thunderbird forms are way more comfortable than my P basses or my Mustang. And they sound better too. I’m 64. I own 3 7enders. I doubt I’ll ever buy another one. My MIM P bass with chromes is a great bass.I think that has been debunked - (urban legend etc)... from what I've recently read - the gen1 was unsuccessful sales-wise and the redesign (NR) was an attempt to rectify the issue... which wasn't as successful as hoped, so also was short-lived. Apparently ahead of its time...
