I'm pretty sure original AC/DC bass player Mark Evans might have a word with you over that. When he wasn't playing his Fender P-bass, he used the odd Thunderbird once in a while, and it was the one without a bridge pickup.
Come out for a visit when the Happy Hollows are playing sometime. I’ve only seen them twice and that was pre-pandemic. You can use the guest room at the mountain, we’ll play Thunderbirds through the SVT in the basement and serenade the black bears.
East Texas = Louisiana
Yep. But Brian encouraged her to be herself. Hence she used her bass. She’s tiny. And didn’t have a ton of time to prepare for the tour. No way could she be expected to get used to a Thunderbird. The vids of the shows she played show she is extremely talented. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see her play with them.

That's Cliff Williams, so you know.
That is so cool Glen!..Or maybe it has Marshall all over it.

Next time you go, message @dukeorock ahead of the trip and meet up with him. I think Mark is spending most of his time there these days.
I thought it went without saying.
I just missed the Dave era. Forgive me I was 12. (Saw him in Rabbit later on. Compare the two versions of this song. The one with Bon eats that one alive.)
I was all aboard from the start of the Bon era. I heard Baby Please Don’t Go on the radio and I was hooked from then on.
BTW on the first album here (I bought it when it was first out, but on cassette!) had Mal & Angus trading lead and solos on Soul Stripper (a great track I reckon), and I think Mal snuck in a little bit of lead on another track, Show Business I think.
BTW if you can find Stevie Wright (ex Easybeats) hit song Evie, the guitar solo on Evie Part 1 recording is Malcolm. (George brung Malcolm and then Angus into the studio when they were very young to expose them to the recording process so they’d be that little more advanced when the time came for them to record their own stuff. The Marcus Hook Roll Band album was one such exercise).
Harry Vanda (ex Easybeats) played the solo on Evie Part 3. Evie was a huge hit here for Stevie Wright and is up at the pointy end of “Best Ever Aussie Rock songs” lists. You can hear the Vanda Young guitar riff style that became so ubiquitous is Aussie pub rock in Evie.
So sorry. I do go on a bit!
You probably knew all that.
Troy & Daphne.Nice. Though recently my head has been turned by a baby or sonic blue Bach.
BTW Aussie country singer Troy Cassar Daley named his EH Holden Daphne because it’s a solid mid blue.
Thanks!! I took it to my friend/tech's house today for a setup. He fell in love with it as well.
Most, but not all of us. I mean.......Nevermind!!!

Those block markers make it really standout!I bought this about a year and a half ago. It sounds fantastic but I am not sure which model Thunderbucker is installed. I don't think the pickup sounds quite as good as the Lull's, but it is great in its own right.
Revisionist history. There is a lot of that going around.
