Thunderbird Club

[Chucky Stiletti]

That’s good. Can’t say I was aware of them. Thanks Chucky.

that combo rips….better than with the tube SVT top imho…

I’m loving the SVT VR and Berg NV610. Not as versatile as my Mesa Subway TT 800 and Subway 410. But it’s a fantastic rig.

Carmine Appice and Tim Bogert were (for me) the best hard rock rhythm section going. I'm pretty sure this is Carmine on lead vocals too, him and Tim used to trade off. drum sound could be better though.

This tune always blew me away.

I have that album somewhere. Need to find it.

Our keyboard player was out of town (SWSX or whatever is going on in Austin just now) so there was plenty of room to spread out and play as a four piece in the rehearsal room last night. This bass just sounds so ^&%$#*( good! The Trace Elliott/SWR/Thunderbird = perfect!
Ears are ringing a little this AM.

Yow!!!!

Oh, and if your keyboard player will have time to kill, have them give me a holler.

Such a great trio. The Who meets Cream, and then some.

We've been waiting for you.
We saw what you did.

Yeah, that might had a little something to do with it. Don't know about the style of it, but reading him and about him would make most people not leave a loved one with him. Some of his theories may still stand with some (and not so much with others), but the dude was off. Not being a hard science as Thunderbirdology, some theories are tricky to prove/falsify and generally not accepted by all. But here there is 100% consensus that Thunderbirds are beneficial to human flourishing. No competing and contrary schools of thought there.

Clearly you haven't run across the Thunderbird deniers. They're convinced the mighty birds are a conspiracy started by Communist anti-Leo-Fender forces still controlled from a HQ somewhere deep underground in Cuba with a tunnel system, that goes under the ocean to the southern tip of Florida, then spreads throughout North America, complete with a left turn at Albuquerque.

You are SO in.

 

[bobyoung53]

yes, if you say so…

Stick a screwdriver on the back of a speaker. I don't have a lot of practical experience but I did graduate as a tech years ago and understand the theory pretty much although I can't explain it very well.

Just spun that vinyl a few weeks ago. Great bass playing!

I wouldn't mind having this as my 'commute' bike.

Actually owned this '86 VF500 Interceptor which was an awesome commute bike. Light, narrow (good for lane-splitting), great gas milage and relatively quiet. Did a track-day at Laguna Seca on it - a total blast!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

The Mad Drummer pissing off the guitar player, lol.

His drums have flames. Perfection.

 

[bobyoung53]

pls define “a lot of gain”…

Plug a normal output bass into a 70's SVT and it's pretty much at full clear volume at about 10 o'clock, that's the point at which they start to get a little dirty. Every 70's SVT head I've ever owned was like that, it's not my term I picked it up from Ampeg somewhere along the line. They haven't made them like that since the 70's.

Now if we can just coordinate a NH show during our annual T-Bird "Birds of a Feather" get-together this year in Seattle...

Have you ever read any Freud?

I did in college. Some was insightful. Some was garbage. I wonder how relevant his writings are to present day.
