Thunderbird Club

[dagrev]

I have brought a spare amp. I've had one fail mid-set in the past. Never had an issue bass-wise and one more bass is just one more thing to schlep and keep an eye on. Plus, our sets are usually 45min, on & off the stage ASAP.

I always took two basses to a gig. Even if I didn't use the second because we had limited time. If we played normal sets I always used my old (stollen) Pbass, and either the Thunderbird or '55 Pbass. Mostly because of wanting a different sound. I only take one bass every Sunday. I've never broken a string while playing or "needed" a backup. Fortunately never had a amp fizzle on me. The old Peavey never let me down. But never had a problem with a supplied amp either, but those seemed to be rentals and newish. But if I can get back to playing in a band setting again, I would likely take my little Ashdown RM-300 as a just in case. At about 4lbs, why not?

I always bring bring two basses as well, having broken E's, A's etc. multiple times onstage in front of a lot of people - I can say for certain nobody want to watch a string change. One bass = none, 2 basses = one.

Bass math!

Is the owner afraid to clean it thinking it will lose MOJO or something?

She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid.

But seriously, I think the flash makes it look worse than it really is.

The CD player tray, of course. Ampeg were ahead of the times.

I always bring two basses. If there's a lot of room I bring three! I also bring a spare amp.

Two basses, two amps. Haven’t needed the spare bass but have had to use just one amp when one acted flakey.
