Thunderbird Club

Oh ugh you are right I'm so sleep deprived from bronchitis I barely know what month it is.

Hope you get to feeling better. It's November.
Seriously, get well and take care of yourself. Not in that order.

I found one online, they're monsters, same size as an SVT cab but about twice as deep. Someone stuck that Ampeg insignia on it but it looks pretty cool. This is actually a reissue one

Ampeg made one too…. this here rig is just brutal….

I apologize for wearing a tiara in this thread.

Surely, you don't mean this one?

Just stop Kara!

I even searched for those cabs.... I love that classic look.

This is what I played (poorly) for years. Not mine, but the same version head and style of cab.

You know what, a tiara would be a new twist to initiations around here.

That doesn't mean we give up coconut bras, grass skirts and watermelons.

Cold fried chicken is for the upper echelon.

Oh, heck yeah!

I got to play through a FH once and loved it. I think I'd have one--if someone else lugged it around for me.

You know, when I first started hanging in this thread, NRs were my only want.



Between that purple one, your green one, the creme one, the white ones I've seen, and the black ones I've seen, I'm gassing for reverse ones big time.



This, from Mr. "Aesthetics Don't Matter" guy.










I think I'll go do laundry.....

Anyone familiar with the Ampeg BA112HP? It will be the amp du jour at an upcoming gig. Trying to find out how I can get a good tone out of it or a very flat one so I can use my GK 800RB preamp pedal in front of it. I am not a fan of the SVT tone, but I do love the B-15 I use at our practice space. I always hope for an FX loop in the amp du jour so I can use my own pre, but it seems this one doesn't have one.

the 50w practice amp?

I had one and it’s super underpowered for much more than a bedroom amp. No features to speak of…. Sold it for $100

The minimum I’d use is the BA210 v2. It claims 425w but that’s only with an extension cab.. it may be close to 300w solo…

How are you getting stuck with the 112? Is there no other options…. Maybe if your drummer uses brushes and y’all sing accapella….

 

[Miles_ONeal]

My folks just loved Glen Campbell so I got to hear him often growing up, Wichita Lineman is still my fave from him - what musician he was!

Ditto!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Yes it is

But will Kindle share?

Sorry, I think 15, not 12.

Bootsy's "style" screams attention W hore, no offense meant to anyone. But that's how it comes across, also I've never seen anyone THIS tacky before.

Have you been under a rock?
There was a big audience for a show. Bootsy and friends gave that show.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

That’s a fair assessment. And it applies to a lot of different “over the top” artists (Elvis, Lady Gaga, Liberacci…).
The question is, Can he deliver the goods?
I have no idea, can’t say I’ve ever heard Bootsy play a song; wouldn’t know what group he’s with; and don't have any real interest in finding out. I do know he’s a big Warwick user and I do love Warwick basses, so he can’t be all bad.

Seriously?
Bootsy is killer.

I've always wanted bell jeans like those, I was born in the 90's, sadly...

We made our own and then jean mfrs started making them.
