Sweet sweet ride! DB? What year?
Always loved the Aston look, on every model in the line up, SUV to Sport Coupe, not a slouch in the bunch.

This is what happens when you take an Australian Kelpie north of the equator. 
Yep! Same thing happens to my Australian Shepard…This is what happens when you take an Australian Kelpie north of the equator.

Funny looking Toyota. But not bad.
Toyotas have the 50 cal mounted in the back.

For the EBCF folks. I am finding a lot of sympathetic vibrations on the E and A strings on my CP when playing Stand by Me. I don’t have that issue on other songs or any other bass. Anyone seen this with those strings?

- Endorsing Artist Mike Lull T Bass pickups
They are one and the same as an Orville, same factory made them. They pickups were ok, the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop ones are far better.
Thanks for the reminder though, I've been meaning to ebay mine!
I gave up on them. Didn’t care for the tone. Couldn’t dial them in to get a sound to my liking with the DeColas on the‘15, regardless of pickup height. I don’t have that problem with other strings on that bass.
They were maybe better on the Goth that I tried them on. I gave them to George before trying them in one of the TBird+ birds. At the end of the day, I just didn’t care for them. But frankly, I’m not much of a flats fan anyway.
IMO, Tbird+ pickups shine with SIT Power Steels.
I should have tried that when I was up.They are one and the same as an Orville, same factory made them. They pickups were ok, the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop ones are far better.

Those certainly look like TB+ in a chrome or nickel cover. Do you know what year?
Being Alnico V, the SD must sound more like Thunderbuckers than TB+, right?
On the menu tonight:
A fine vintage 1995 Thunderbird IV seasoned with Lollar pickups.
Flavored with a modern Orange 500 watt hybrid amp and some warm and cozy 12” drivers to get your low end satisfaction going.
Cat not included…
Nice!
You could probably crack the foundation with that set up. Oops, too late, already happened.
Already posted in the Portaflex club, but for this clubs viewing enjoyment, I’m finding this combination of bass and rig pure bliss!
“Around” is key. My 2012 IV is juuuust under 1.5”,
