This is how I feel about the two pbases I own, one is a CV60's flat-wound Jamerson engine, the other (in my avatar) a heavily modded sonic with rounds that I use for rock/metal. Both fit like gloves.
Eddie Edwards, the drummer, is the only remaining founding member, but they still sound great. Their guitarist and singer now lives in suburban NJ and is my daughter Vivian's guitar teacher. He had to get special permission for Viv to be let in to the show (she's only 13, and the venue was 21+). As her first punk show, it was eye-opening.
Strayed from the Thunderbirds Sunday to the '05 Pbass. This thing really sounds great with LaBella Low Tension Flats.
I think the TI flats and the labella flats are the only strings I didn't like, and I'm not super picky.
Pyramid Golds, are my runaway favorite for flats, the Ernie Ball cobalt flats are a distant second, and much cheaper, but excellent. Optima RB are good too but expensive. I have my first set of SIT flatwounds on the way for my 5 string ric (i haven't heard if Pyramid can add a .125-132 to make a regular set a 5er....
The only set of SIT nickle rounds I got were very close if not idenstickle to the Ernie Ball rounds.
That's one of my favorite all time bands.
I introduce my kids to the classics, it's amazing what sticks and what they gravitate to.
K-pop, Punk, and Classic Rock!
I think they're going to tour starting the end of this calendar year. We saw them at a great venue: Shows - MilkBoy Philadelphia
Maybe trombone on a few reggae and Ska tunes.

Was someone was looking for a Thunderbird bridge cover? I found one I had squirreled away, if anyone is interested dm me.
How does it feel to be 13.5 hours from the West Coast?

Sorry, I should have told you my India travel secrets. It involves lots of drugs. Have fun my friend!

I hope you will be there long enough for it to be worth the jet lag.
Must have been one heck of a flight. That time zone travel thing sure made Chuck look funny. Tanned him up and shrunk him down a bit.
Apparently not. Must take after her Dad who can work on about anything. I got ripped off in the talent department.
I'm just going to get a couple spoons and show y'all what I can do.....
In reality this looks a bit too complicated. Should just stick to being poor at bass since I've got tons of experience at it. I really have it down well, if I don't say so myself.

Just keep sipping till your playing sounds good.
Didn't work. Tried that already. Since you know what a cow bawling sounds like, I'll just leave it there.
