Thunderbird Club

You might be able to get in the ballpark by installing stainless strings, playing with a pic and soloing the bridge pickup. From there adjust your onboard and amp settings to favor a crisp top end with plenty of attack and a rounded but not boomy bottom end.
"rounded but not boomy bottom end". I knew a girl...
 
Gotcha.
Long as she knows what all it’s going to take.
I know several people involved on the same endeavor, it ain’t all glory.
Money, guts and perseverance is what it takes.
And nerves of steel.
She gets a lot of Logan to L.A. runs as a dedicated Mint attendant. So we get to see her a lot. Every couple of weeks, even though she’s been in Boston for four years now. Even if it’s just a meet up for dinner. She is scaling her hours back and will be doing the first cert local. That’s what her pilot friends advised her to do so she can maintain some income and get the first leg completed.
 
This is a shot of my little area where we're playing Saturday night. While it's a bit tight to my right(all the PA [stuff]), I gots plenty o' room for the neck-and headstock-of the 67 NR. And room behind me for the R200cV3 in the corner. Note fancy lighting. S'posed to keep dancers from falling into the band. Doesn't always work.

EDIT: Two guitarists to drummer's right(not pictured-Capt. Obvious).

Ain’t gonna happen.
Boost lows, cut mids, boost treble.
Use just a small of neck pick up while your bridge pup is dimed.
Nope, not even close to a Stingray.
It’s like the most asked question on TB. “So how do I get my Tonehammer to sound like an Ampeg?”

I think this poster is just a troll. They have some absolutely ridiculous posts. Here and on other threads. I give them the benefit of the doubt, unignore them, and then there’s another trolling post. I’m done. Respond to them them if you will. But I, for one, will not respond to the nonsense.
 
never cared for Ozzy in Black Sabbath or solo.

never a fan of drug addled, doddering peeples....

Saw Heaven and Hell twice, the two best live experiences evar... third best was Eddie Money.
Ozzy was arguably the weak link in Sabbath and his solo bands. He looked rough when I saw him in 82.
Everyone in Sabbath seemed in really good shape in 2000.

Jeez, my closet is bigger, What the HEdouble hockeysticks!
 
At one point I owned an original MM Stingray, it was probably around '80 or so, I've kind of forgotten. It played so beautifully, I just never could get it to sound good through my rig at the time.
played one as my main axe for years, it had rock hard curly maple neck and a maple fb……..really like how well rounded and versatile they can be

A nice Stingray is a welcome addition to a diverse arsenal. I prefer the tone from a single H. They are the pride of SLO. I want a nice one, just haven’t found one yet. I am confident that with the Mesa TT800, the Mesa M6 Carbine, and rhecSVT, I can find the tone that work. Npmayby this or next year.
