Thunderbird Club

[Chucky Stiletti]

Way back I used to really be into the whole mix and match thing.
I’m happy with one rig that can do it all.

So, is that rig any good?

I bet it sounds fantastic.

I like things simple. But did love my old Peavey Mk head. The channels were very different and great when blended, which is what I did 90% of the time.

Looks like a Curlee on stage. How’d she do?

sounded great….no TBird or anything or anything like that…..pretty P sounding… still feels like a toy..

Two of my fav songs off that album.

Teasin' is fantastic!

I confess to never clicking with any of their music. But did love the one song that didn't sound like Jeff Starship. Even used to cover that one.
Trivia without looking it up, what other hit did Micky sing on in the 70s with an unlikely artist?

Wow, he can still hit those high notes. No idea on the other question.

It's not half bad.

Yes he can. Fantastic singer.

You are one to make any bass sound like a million bucks.

This one is a hidden gem.

Hi

advice wanted please

I have a young student who is full noise on rock music. His parents want to buy him a new bass for Xmas

I can get a second hand Epiphone Thunderbird here in NZ. Any options on their merits? Thanks

Hard to go wrong. If it has a bolt on neck, make sure the upper strap button is at the heel of the neck. That is pretty much the only issue.

 

[Gaolee]

But running 3 15s at the same time does have the piss off the neighborhood vibe

How about nine of 'em.

How about nine of 'em.

That would qualify as a WMD.

I like her better than Grace, who would have never worn a Skynyrd shirt.

Saw them on TV once and they sounded good.

Grace not wearing such a shirt was my first thought!

I had young parents so I was exposed to Fleetwood Mac early, like 4th grade. Love them. An all time favorite, “Hypnotized” is a song that I feel was way ahead of its time.

They played that when I saw them in Nov 73. Live in the Omni (and, shall we say, senses enhanced) it was truly hypnotic. It took me to some pretty cool places.

I need to buy a tuning device, what would you guys recommend it's best: the ones that clip on the headstock or the ones that you insert the cable into the device to tune? Which is best or more precise?

I’ve find that as much as I love the clip on ones with the Korg or Peterson being the most precise, they don’t handle the low E and B strings on a bass as well as a standard pedal format tuner, those are 10x quicker to tune those bass strings acurately.

I would have known the answer without looking it up. It was even once a request at a wedding we did.
