Thunderbird Club

You know, had not thought about that, as I use my Strobo Stomp mostly, and wireless (Shure GLXD) almost exclusively in a live setting. A 20 ft 20 year old Mogami cable as a backup and at home.

I retract my suggestion to put tuner first.
Your wireless doesn't double as a tuner? I go wireless all the time now. Getting tangled up in cables is a stupid human trick I don't need to perform any more.
 
:) Nah, don't buy any of that...something tells me your just not letting us know...
On another note, yeah I'm definitely the screwball outcast....
my brother...
Family screwball outcast? You fit right in here. Now we know why.

I have the Desktop/rack mount receiver
When I got it (20 years ago) the pedal receiver was not available.
 
I wouldn't use a tuner up front and as part of the chain....you're then limited to the audio specification of a device that's used randomly....further, if you are using a passive bass with a long cable, the potentially augmented noise to signal ratio may confuse the tuner....FX loops are there for a reason.....
I have TC tuner first thing on my pedalboard, I don't notice any signal degradation.
But I also run a wireless, so that's a buffer right at the bass.

Got it. Mine is only about half that age. Thinking about it a little, it might be more than ten years old now. It has a lot of mileage on it at this point.
 
I have my tuner on the input side of things (after the Genzler 4 On The Floor and Phase 90), that way I can easily mute everything if I want, tuning or not.
Wait, that’s confusing. First, now the tuner is seeing a modified signal. Secondly, are you using the tuner as a kill switch?

Oh come on man! :banghead: You're killing me and proving my point. If you are the outcast, I'd love to be said outcast's dumb brother. Def a step up. ;)
 
I put Hipshot US Y Key Ultralights on my Eagle. I'm pretty sure that screw hole would be covered if I ever went back to the original tuners. It's nowhere near as rare as your lefty Bodine though.

Unfortunately what mine came with isn't common at all. Just the two pins to keep it from turning.

:roflmao: that would have been Mike Azen (standing behind my brother), one of my brother's buds, mind you, all from a late 70's FL (Everglades) perspective....

Oly was a pretty popular beer for high school kegers around here in the '70s, but it was kinda local, so surprised to see someone wearing that shirt!

I think this was when I first sat down at Damm, the chair had been in the sun..........

Walking down memory lane are we?

I went to school with Rocky Dennis.
:-)
Was one of his friends: cool dude.

...

And these guys were my classmates and neighbors.

...
As a kid/teen, I think this is the closest I came to hanging with anyone who'd become at all famous:
I used to hang out with Andy West's brother Mike, who seems to have disappeared. I played in HS band with Steve Morse's brother, too (Mark, IIRC). I met Andy and Steve briefly, but at the time I was just Andy's kid brother's friend, which made us punks (before punk became a form of music or lifestyle). Of course, we kinda were...

[Andy and Steve were half of The Dixie Grit - the half that later formed The Dixie Dregs.]

you'll laugh but back then I didn't know about that beer nor about WA state for that matter...
