Thunderbird Club

This morning was a red Greco sort of morning with a bit of extra hair (Tumnus Deluxe) and/or medium depth flange (Polychrome), depending on the song.

Crowded House by the Highwomen turns out to br a great communion song, never mind a great song for life in general. At least for Sharon and me.
 
Have a great show, Chuck!
Thank you your Highness.....some good vibes your way...;)

I have a Rumble 200 w/ 1x15 and a Rumble 500 head w / Mesa Subway 1x15. I think they work great.
I know the amp “cork sniffers” deride them but to me they are the modern equivalent to Peavey. I always did and still do like Peavey amps.
totally....if Fender knows how to do something, it's build a bass amp......in the past they just didn't have the ss power levels of interest to me....today, not really a fan of combos (limiting imho) but the tone from this setup was/is pretty hard to beat.....

And can add a 115 for some extra wattage and boom.

Yeah I played through a Rumble 40 last week. It was loud enough for the situation and sounded great with both an active Fender PJ and my Ripper.

Used the '21 NR today though the Ashdown and I think it was the best it ever sounded. Never did I want to adjust anything. One thing I changed was I but some Dean Markely Blue Steels on the NR. I was sounding really good with the SIT Powerwounds, but the DMs brought some extra punch. I used to use those decades ago and they still sound good to me, changes at DM and all. Great finger and pick tone.

Still EBCFs here. I get a fantastic range of tones with just the neck pickup and the lower 30% range of the tone knob.
 
Yes Sir. I liked them at home so much I made an offer on their NPS version and have them, just not installed yet. I believe that was more of what I used yrs ago. DMs were my go-to strings in the 80s.

Yep, a longtime favorite. I still have some NOS sets in the package, both 45-105 and 50-105, with the blue silks. I have a pretty old set on my ‘72 P and another older set on my ‘70 J, and both sets have some zing left in them.
