Thunderbird Club

ya know there's another Bugera 1960 for sale near me. If one is good two are better.

See where I have the volumes for each of the channels, it's $#%^#@* loud! The Greco sounds great!

that’s the red/splanklin burgundy fretless, I put a dummy in the bridge a while back, and used the exranauseous pickup in the DC below…





Thats is sooper cool and I would maybe leave that one as it is, but I had to build my own DC due to the lack of affordabilibiddytees.
It’s one of my better basses.

Not everyone is a fan of the reverse 7ender headstock, but I dig that Dusty Hill look!

Are there 2 different versions: with and without master volume?

Right!

As a kid, I did the guitar line thing. Never understood at the time why it sounded so herky-jerky when our kid band played it, until I got to hear it on my friends dad's nice stereo. "Oh I'm playing the guitar part and I'm not playing the bass part at all "

That driving whole note bass line ties it all together and actually drives the song along.

I had the same experience. I think I figured it out in eleventh grade. And then I said, “oh. It’s like Smoke on the Water. Stick to roots and groove.”

I lack the talent to switch scales without a fair bit of practice. It’s a big part of the reason I went to the 3L

It has nothing to do with talent. It’s just getting used to the size. I play guitar at times (badly), so it isn’t an issue for me. I just don’t think about it.

I like the Tele headstock in the reverse conflagration. Much better than the standard big P or J version.

Ah you’re too kind sir. But brain cells and talent are lacking around here!

From the office last night. I can say that because we finally got a couple bucks from the door, so I guess I'm a professional now. The Dingwall goes to my pedal board where I used one effect one time last night, then to a Darkglass Microtubes 500V2 and an SWR Goliath III.

My II was 800.00 a year ago.

Beauty!, but with a feedback rating of only 80%, and coming from Japan, I’d be a bit skeptical.

So after much soul searching and rationalizing I followed our Queens lead and broke down and bought Jamie's (cuth) Greco Thunderbird. I have to thank Jamie for such a great deal and I can't wait for the bass to arrive. Here are some of the pictures from the for sale post .View attachment 5363864 View attachment 5363865 View attachment 5363866 View attachment 5363867 View attachment 5363868

Irv does amazing work.

Bill does great showing how to add some pizzazz and stay in your own lane

It’s Keith’s line. He wrote it. But Bill follows the script. Not sure who is playing it on this cut. I’m pretty sure it’s Bill on Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out, which is the version where I finally figured it out. From a cassette no less. One of the top twenty songs of all time. And I’m more Beatles than Stones. But what is great is great.

It’s India, so just plain old chai (tea). Blame the Brits.

If they do Turkish coffee, then they need to do Turkish tea. Nothing beats apple tea. Especially when you’re shopping for rugs in Istanbul.

I’ll put the request in.
