No real relevance to (any of) the topic(s) at hand, but I enjoyed watching it, so I thought I'd share with the class

I don’t know on the spacing, I would have to check.

If you send it to me I'll measure so you won't have to. From pics they look to be in the original positions or pretty close. Edit: I'll check the wiki page as mentioned my Geoff below.

It seems so from the Tbird pickup wiki

Oh, forgot to check that. Thanks!

I didn't want to say anything, but you are very correct. Bless his heart. Makes childhood pics of me look great!

There wasn't anything else quite like a Who concert. Glad I got to see them twice. Wish I hadn't been so stoned. But still, what I recall was off the chain.

If I were in a Who cover band, I'd have use for the angry piano sound!

Are there Who cover bands.....

Is it really wrong to hate kids with talent?


(Not serious about the hating part. But wish I had started playing at that age--and with that room of equipment!)

I might have to get me one of these to go with my Spector Rex Tbird.

I don't think there's a "next" Who.

This fella here, pretty much. More so if you use a pick.

I was never a big fan of The Who, but I like this

How about a Leon Thunderbird or NR? JE? Way?.... They actually played them. A lot. So yeah, I don't get it either. Normal people likely never will. Maybe it will be a hit. But seems to fall into the pattern of overthinking then doing it in an odd direction. I'm sure a marketing person had some data that said oil was just under the ground. Of course it also boils down to who's name you can buy and for what price.

Active/passive...but not neck through. I wonder why this and the Gene Simmons aren't neck through? Cost? Very cool bass though!

I never was either, but that is a great song.

I think that's really cool variation on the traditional Thunderbird - I like it.
Those pickups and set neck construction are a good combination.

Did he grow up to star in Deliverance?

Not on his extensive movie list.
