Shallow is a virtue in the Thunderbird Club.

well then i hope to be among the most virtuous of us. praise the bird, and lets all rejoice in our virtuousness and virtuosity.

as a show of my shallowness, i got the white VP just because i wasnt really liking the look of my black VP. then i decided it was really just the white pickguard that was bothering me. made a black PG and then i really liked the black VP.

now im keeping them both. so i got a whole other bass just because of a pickguard color and kept em all anyway.

Well, as long as you....


Absolutely killer band live. They could "bring it" as well as anyone.

 

[dagrev]

Cool!

A lot of early R&B and blues had distorted guitars, the early amps were not very loud, Howlin' wolf 1951, listen to this sound, unbelievable:

Ike Turner on piano BTW, he was a scout and discovered a lot of these early greats and played piano on a lot of well known blues records, piano was his first instrument.

Willie Johnson- guitar

I think everything Howlin' Wolf did had some distortion!

You can add me to the Shallow Hal list. Maybe just a bit more flamboyant.

Love it!

 

[dagrev]

This one I believe.

Be careful using the word knobs around here.

What could possibly go wrong?

A lot of those guys used Silvertones, Valco , I just coincidentally found this:

I have better pictures but keep finding this one, 1996 '62 RI with new neck, check out this amp, 1959 Ampeg Bassamp 835, it sounds better to me that a B-15, 35 watts, it's got a separate pre and power amp like an SVT. It doesn't fill a room like a B-15 though.
