Thunderbird Club

Tried the Spark Booster today. Much better than the MojoMojo but still the overdriven sound isn't as good to my ears than on a Monkey. It works stacked with it excellently 'though and if I didn't had the MXR M77 coming tomorrow I might think of putting both to a loop and use it's switch to turn them on simultaneously. We'll see.

My recollection of the Mojo is a good OD sound, buta touch polite for my taste (I prefer the old Tech21 VT Bass v2 pedal by far for that sound). I did have a Monkey (non modded for bass) and found its grit even lighter, although very good. Is your Monkey modded for bass ?
 
Ran across this Bird on Reverb. Bridge seems rather close to the pickup and the claw seems waaay to far south for my taste. It's medium scale so maybe he did that so he could use long scale strings?

I think you’re right. If that bridge was 1” South, it would look normal. And what is that bridge?
I was thinking about 32” scale for my Jolana, but it would have meant moving the bridge.
 
I'm sorry to hear that, thankfully it seems you all managed to avert a disaster/great loss. Hopefully 2023 brings better things.

Thanks - we caught it in time so nothing important was damaged... and sorry for our prior mis-understanding. My getting-along-in-the-world motto (if I actually had one) would be "be nice... it's pretty easy!" :) HNY!
 
Rare for me to have a Sunday off, having a nice morning.......

Trains in the snow.

Had some fun with this, it's deliberately lit very harshly to simulate low winter sun and I have applied a "cool" filter to the image.

The Bird and the animal!
I'll sit down and play a bit later........I have the feeling the neighbors will get to hear me as well.
