Thanks, you're too kind. They were worked up in a few weeks and there are some mistakes. I don't recall about the first of the two. The second, believe it or not, was a Donna Summer song from She Works Hard For The Money album. Donna had become more religious and began including some Christian type songs. We rocked it up and I like our version much better. I was fortunate, most every group I played in liked the bass to be heard. I never had those "can I be heard in the mix" conversations. Not to mention, the Peavey MK III could do some heavy lifting!excellent! thx for posting. originals? if not, not familiar with the songs but they are GOOD….nicely played too, sound like pretty much all fingerstyle?…..pretty massive tone..

even though I'm not much for boring colours, I do quite like that one and the natural relicing....
If I needed another bass I'd consider this one...
Hardly. if so, I need to play that "bad."
And yes, finger style most likely. I likely used a pick on a few songs that night, but don't recall. The Summer song would have been a possibility for a pick, but don't think so.
Looks like Hannibal Lecter got to Hannibal's nose.
Buy it. The Thunderbuckers make that a fair price.
and rightfully so….call it bias or whatever but something about Donna Summers and pick bass just doesn’t do it for me….almost like saying Ace of Spades played pizzicato…..Hardly. if so, I need to play that "bad."

bonus TBird doing Disco?…..
that can’t be!… 
I have been pursuing a local Ibanez Ric bass and am sealing the deal next week, or I would....
Thanks Mike, that particular song was my reaction to a particular cultural situation of the time. I won't get into here other than to say I saw hypocrisy and I was venting about it.
Now that I think about it, I really should start another punk band.

I had one of those. Since that was surgery #4 in that eye, it resulted in an improvement of 20.200 to 20.70 with glasses. I really hope much better improvements in your case.
I was feeling a little underwhelmed by the sound of the pickups in my Orville. But I realized they were down kinda low, so I shoved some foam under them and got them adjusted as high as they can go without string contact (well not much contact).
I played at last night’s Code Delta practice and YOWZA! That’s the ticket, especially with a pick

Keep in mind this was around 83-84 and recorded to cassette in a garage. I transferred it to digital a while back and attempted to clean it up a little.
And ummm yeah that's me on vocals
I really like it. I’m a late convert to this genre/style; bought my first Black Flag and Minutemen recordings in 2019.
Heh. One of my former classmates from Canada refers to us as “US Americans”.
Thank you your Highness!….always great commentaryYou're both looking well, great picture!
…..the Punic wars have always been of interest….seeing (real in person) booty felt like a privilege..and rightfully so….call it bias or whatever but something about Donna Summers and pick bass just doesn’t do it for me….almost like saying Ace of Spades played pizzicato…..

Great tone on that funny looking Fender.
Another confirmation there's nothing a Thunderbird can't do, and do very well. Just need someone to play some Bach on one now.
nice pic Irv….those pups have always been a topic of conversation….would love to try one of those Orvilles, neck through? set?..I was feeling a little underwhelmed by the sound of the pickups in my Orville.

Bunch of my favourite people all in one picture!Some wonderful Canadians on the left an a most interesting Ami on the right.
Thanks man! At the time it was very far outside the mainstream.
