I have TB+ pickups manufactured in October 2013. Question is can I measure as installed or do I have to unsolder?

You would have to unsolder the hot lead.

Marathon rehearsal with the band yesterday, we played all three sets, each about 55 minutes, it went pretty well with just a couple of small issues. I was damn tired and very pitted out by the time we finished!

Nice! Did you record the sets?

Bond Girl show tonight in SF at The Knockout, which is in Cherie & my hood. (the Mission) 2 bands, one long set. (one band canceled at the last minute) There's a chance it will be live-streamed by the same guy who streamed our last show at Winters'. This is the vid from Winters' - you can probably link to his page to watch it live if it happens. And if it happens it will be available on YouTube later. As far as I know we will go on at 7:30-8:00 CA time.



Set List:

1) Dr No (full) - I
2) History Repeating
3) Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps
4) From Russia with Love
5) The Avengers Theme - I
6) The Spy [In the House of Love]
7) Big Bad Handsome Man
8) Diamonds are Forever
9) Mission:Impossible - I
10) You're Never There
11) Skyfall
12) Last of the Secret Agents
13) Tomorrow Never Dies
14) A Shot in the Dark - I
15) Wild is the Wind
16) Secret Agent Man
17) Goldfinger

Sweet - have a great show!

We don't usually do that - the room is full of hard surfaces just now, doubtful it would sound good.

We record every rehearsal, for reference. "Remember that awesome thing you played last week?" "No." Good thing we had it recorded. For example. Fortunately I know a pretty good spot to put my recorder.

You're working on original material so that does make sense, good quality recording or not, we're just bashing out cover songs so it's not quite as important.

I'd considered that, but I figured it would still be useful unless you're playing note for note. But you've been this so long that you know your needs.

Greetings on this Epi(c) Custom Shop Sunday! The discussion yesterday moved me to get these three together for the afternoon in the shed. Wonderful Thunderbirds!

I wouldn’t risk unsoldering them. Contact EY to see if they’ll swap you. If not, just resell them on Reverb for $10 less than the new ones, and get yourself the chromes you like.

If you truly feel compelled to change out the covers on the ones you have, I’d recommend using a small exacto hacksaw type blade or a dremel rotary cutter vs a soldering gun. Then I’d epoxy the new cover on with some JBWeld vs soldering the new cover on.

I've already sent two emails to EY asking if is possible to arrange a swap but the lack of reply from them sounds like a no. Anyway thank you for the epoxy suggestion, which sounds a lot more safer.

My R&B band doesn't rehearse a lot, so it's good to have a recording to refer to for arrangements and endings.

Where are you?

I was talking about the 'dancer' @dagrev posted. I think I missed yours or it was no big deal to me or something. I found that dancer kind of disturbing.

Oooooh, PillO's dancer is disturbing. If you didn't find it so, that's disturbing.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

my my…..what do we have here?…..

crazy stuff……as clever as Piazza was finding surplus tubes for better pricing hence margins, these 6C10 tubes were originally used in CRT driver applications…..since CRTs are obsolete now, so are these triple triodes so now…….YIKES!!….
two of these are almost worth more than the whole amp…..

 

[dagrev]

heck, sorry guys…. this one’s the one I meant to post…

TB+ and LaBella black nylons are a great match. Glad you recommended them. I can't see anything else being the '06. Sounds great and almost feels naughty.

in CA, the pics are from Tigre..
