Thunderbird Club

[JJR58]

I’ve had a hard time with playing by ear now that I’m old. All those concerts back in the day.

I use the Beethoven method.

I see it, it must be something with your computer but I'm no expert.

I don’t see it.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

good eye Irv.

I don’t see it.

Well, I'm no expert.

Funny.

Hmmmmm, should I or shouldn’t I???

What the hell! Do it.

That is of course the mighty Michael Henderson playing with Miles in the seventies but what is the Acoustic head with more knobs? Maybe a guitar head counterpart to a 360 preamp?
It's probably for Reggie Lucas the guitarist, there was also other Acoustic cabs on stage at that time.
See also the stacking of the cabs. I bet everyone heard the bass at that venue....

My ears hurt.

 

[MCF]

You can get some really great tones using guitar amps. One show I played I used a small Orange stack that was there and it sounded amazing. I never had to turn on my dirt pedal.

How were the speakers when you were done?

 

[MCF]

is it bad that I want to take a claw hammer to the peepholes that call pickups "pups"?

Yes.

I've been away the last few days, busy taking care of my dog, he swallowed a bone and couldn't get it out; days so busy that I even forgot to pay my web provider and was offline for 3 days.
Now he is in better health, managed to expel the bone (actually 2 small rib bones) but still taking medicine.

 

[dagrev]

Shouldn’t the pickups have 3 screws on a 76?

Yes.

Oh my. So glad your dog is doing better. Scary stuff...

Doesn't matter I'm dyslexic

Are there corrective lenses for that?

 

[WillyW]

Yes.

Y’all keep me grounded.
Not sane, but grounded.

How were the speakers when you were done?

Good question. Wasn't mine. But the place was tiny, so it didn't have to be turned up that loud.

Shouldn’t the pickups have 3 screws on a 76?

Yes, IIRC.

 

[GonePlaid]

Oh man. Why couldn’t this come up next year?

Buy it now. Shipping could take 'til next year.

I use the Beethoven method.

What?

What’s reasonable anymore?

One site would cost about $175 a person with fees. In another site it was under $100 per person. I would do $100 to see them, but much more than that I will pass. Just returned from my daughters wedding and that was a kick to the financial crotch.

Not really Thunderbird related, but I learned something new, today-ish yesterday-ish......

Sweetwater sells stuff on eBay



Stuff like this, it turns out...

This shows the color better, imo:

.....I guess it's time to see how bad the neck twist is, if it's gonna need replacing, or if I can live with it as-is
