Thunderbird Club

[Ringhammer]

Nice. I fitted some Alnico 8 Thunderbird Humbuckers that kick out around 13k. Pretty hot, but more articulate and less muddy than the Gibson originals.

Are you saying here the you purchased Gemini Devastators? I’ve been sitting on their page and come very close to pulling the trigger on a set of Dominators, hoping they will be a little different than my other vintage style pickups (Lollars, Novaks, Thunderbucker 66, and the Gibson re-issues), but not looking for something drastically different. Thinking the A8 blades and slightly hotter DCR will make the Dominators have a little different tone going for them. Most likely whatever I choose (Dominator or Devastator) will start in my black VP, and since the neck pup is closer to the bridge, maybe a bit hotter set (Devastator) will beef it up ??? I just don’t want to end up with the mudbucker squawk like I had in a ‘73 Telecaster bass I had. Of course those read 27k…. and there were two of them in that modded Tele.

Since I have so many that are probably very similar in build and output, maybe the Devastators are a good choice for a change up.

Decisions decisions…

I was looking at schools of fish up close today. It sure was fun. It will happen again tomorrow and, weather permitting, Saturday.

I enjoy the fish ladders in Seattle.

This guy seems to really like his Thunderbirds.

I give up. TalkBass doesn't seem to want to parse Instagram links. Find them yourselves I guess.

He foam mutes his ‘21 NR. That is so cool.

I hope that's not his best song....

I wouldn't say best, but it's a subjective thing.

Sort of a new thing at The House of Guitars, business cards! Mine includes my HOG nickname bestowed on me in 1976!

Are you auditing the class?

Yep.

Looks cool, Hoss!

He has reverses, too!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Residuals?

Nah. Entirely new ones. Far more than I ever took back in the day (which admittedly was a LOT).

My namesake. My propensity for not saying much and turning red when I got mad is what got me dubbed Hoss way back in 1976, that and picking up a co working and tossing him in the flap bin when he pissed me off. In the deep recesses of the HOG basement was the flap bin a metal side room in the corner where all the cardboard was knocked down and compacted.

In that case, I meant to say, Mr. Hoss!

On first quick reading, I saw 645 Tinnitus Ave.

That would be pretty fitting, considering House of Guitars is on it.
