Thunderbird Club

Don't you use a preamp fed into the Mesa? Could you just get a nicely priced power amp to power the preamp?



His son is the bass player for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. He is a Gibson bass player, just not a Bird player.

With the good graces of @Chucky Stiletti He walked me through some things to trouble shoot.
I owe him several pool cleanings.

Thank you very much. Maybe after retiring one day. It would be a pleasure to meet you (and Frank). Then play your basses. I'm not gonna lie.

Do it!!!!

I remember seeing these when we lived in England, but I don't recall seeing any after we moved to Canada.

what about these?….

I've always found most Renault designs ugly. Doesn't help that Renault's engineering tends to be absolute S-hite either.

 

[GBassNorth]

Yeah. At least one of the members is dead.

His number was even removed from the club roster in an effort to hide the fact.

They need to come to FL in April.

Been there, done that, and barely survived. Drove down from KY at the height of the season. By the time I got to Long Boat Key the car was completely covered in dead critter goop that was baked on by the sun and hard as a rock. Went to the local car wash, the line to get in stretched completely around the block. I almost skipped the wash but a local told me that if you leave them on for any extended time it’ll take the paint off the car. Two hours later I was back at long boat key. And got to repeat the ordeal every day for about a week. So much fun. Just glad I wasn’t driving my convertible at the time.

Trouble spots: everywhere.

They sure look cool, though. Well, I think so.

 

[Gaolee]

It's not me is it?

Check the obits. If you aren't there, you are good.

Was it good, not the usual motherload of issues? That's actually the only Renault design I'd admit looks good... Without so many headlights, that is.

Now, that's ugly with all those headlights, but in a way I really like. I bet it was a blast.

Someone said make a Spyder model, but the designers heard Spider?

Those pickups don’t look wide enough to be TBird pickups. But what are they?

Let me guess, you turned all the lights on while driving and the car died since it didn't have 3 alternators?

 

[dagrev]

@Engle You can do a NR pickguard can't you Irv (and desire to), if I get around to moving the pickup?

I like that tremolo bridge.

rally lights….fast and incredibly nimble…would embarrass any Turbo Porsche of the period (85/6) to 100 miles/hr….the turbo Lancia Integrale was another such beast….none, unfortunately ever imported stateside…
