do you recall if any of the Greco Birds ever came with bridge/pup covers?....it would seem like there's no room for the bridge cover on a IV...Thursday's child...........
The Angry Bird.
All the 77/78 Greco-birds come with a bridge cover...or just the holes from when they had one. I think I heard they ditched the cover in the 80s. I haven't seen one with a factory pickup cover.
I know there is an anti-Amazon feeling around here but given folks looking at recording equipment...I saw this bundle.

A short video of the my new Vintage Pro Thunderbird, sorry probably to much yack'n and buzzing from a 3x5 card stuck in my acoustic guitar strings.
Dig that shirt.
Cool. Just watch the pickup placement on that body in the lower left corner. It’s a pretty big knot and strategically placed to make things difficult.
Likewise with Marshall and my BaCH. Couldn’t have gone to a better person.
I know some of you use/have used XVive U2 systems. If so, are you still happy with them? Why/not? Do/have you gig/ged with them?
Canada of course! Nice jersey!
What kind of Canuck are you? It's a sweater
See which goalie shows up
I feel some verbal abuse may be in route. EhWhat kind of Canuck are you? It's a sweater
I did a lot of research on and off over more than a year. I wanted an IOS compatible device. I settled on the Foscusrite 2i2 4th Gen model as a fist step into the recording world. The conclusion I came to was that while interfaces have been around for years, many fell short in some way or another unless you had a pretty good computer. It seems the latest generation of affordable devices are now ready for prime time.
I don’t know where that one from Amazon fits in the pecking order of what is available. The price is right. But It is older tech. I dismissed it after seeing this review and determining it would not do what I wanted.

hard to beat combo.....tried a black one but prefer the white PG....
Another positive attribute is that it looks amazing!!When Uwe Hornung visited my home, he played that bass and commented "that bass, that's a razor" and it is. I don't really like the term "cuts thru the mix" but with this bass notes really have a clear definition, a bit different than all the passive Birds. I'm always glad I have it, because at certain places it the perfect bass to play.
Doesn't she have a NR?
She did bash it pretty hard, I think it was on her "worst of 2022" list, so maybe she didn't keep it around.

I bought that package (Except it came with monitors) a couple years ago when we were first trying to start a podcast. It all seemed like good entry level stuff for what I was doing and we still use the monitors and headphones, with the mic on reserve for a backup. I tried recording some bass things with it and it worked fine, but I don't really know how it works for recording music as I barely tested it for that. Ultimately went with a different setup for the show, but I could have used that kit without issue.

They still offer the package with monitors, but that adds another $100.
