Sorry for spamming you guys with some more non-Thunderboird related video...

Last Friday's reunion concert was a one-off exercise. Especially for that unique occasion, guitarists Frank and Jeff had arranged all the songs for two guitars. Because originally, Superfloor was always a band with only one guitarist. That worked out wonderfully well. With some two-part pieces here and there and fiery guitar duels.

Was I in the room?! I don't even recall that!
I just dig that amp when it's cranked up just a little, it's slightly mid forward and the bass is underlying, the '64 II sounded really good through it last night - I may finally use that amp for a show!

Jumpered input tube amps based on Fender, Marshall, and similar circuits are simply amazing.

Killer stuff. I'm so glad y'all got to do this. I wish it would result in a tour in the states, but I get it. Costly in terms of time and money, You need someone to back a huge lorry of euros up tour door and please with you to do that. Alas, I have neither the lorry nor the euros.

20 years ago we flew to Florida for a "tour" in the USA. It was a complete fiasco that cost us a lot of money.
We're not in a hurry to do that again. ;-)

Actually I quit playing in bands 7 years ago. The first thing I did when I quit was finish the Gibson Bass Book that I had been working on for several years. And then picked up speed with building bass guitars. That is my main focus (in my spare time) now. I rarely play bass anymore. Except for the occasional noodling on a new Brooks bass.

My wife Floor (our lead singer) still sings very frequently. She has several bands. One of them is a band called Stapled. They do a tribute to Mavis Staples and the Staple Singers. But even with an excellent band like that it is very hard to get decent gigs. The day after the reunion gig she had a gig at a festival. Only to find out they had to play in a gymnastics hall, without a stage and without stage lighting... Horrible.

Ha! I suspected she was your wife (or girlfriend) just seeing the chemistry between you.

You’re playing an LP Recording bass.
There is no sorry here as far as I’m concerned.
Plus you rock!

Cool :thumbsup: I saw LK in the late '80s. A friend who was a local Cincinnati radio DJ and I were invited to a small private hang with him at a local recording studio where he spoke & played a solo performance.

I had to look it up, but at that time Henry Hirsch would have been his bass player.
