LETS GO!....
Is that what they're calling it these days?
Used the '64 with DTFs again today. I didn't notice the A sounding lifeless as before so maybe the strings are maturing.
Sounded great with the Ashdown in run through, a tad better with the Ampeg tubes. Great either way, just a little different. I think with the La Bellas there is less upper mids and highs (obviously), which I kind of miss, but there is so much thick goodness I'm happy with the difference, at lest for now. It doesn't sound like it did, but how it sounds a different kind of great.

That is the definition of dedication.
Have a great show!
You really need to get the correct knobs on the bicentennial. Just sayin’.
Yep. And a proud one at that. YMMV. But when it comes to almost fifty year old Gibson’s, I like them to look correct. But it’s all good in Thunderbird land.
didn't like how it sounded with the other knobs....

Where was the top picture taken?
This afternoon I found my Berry Oakley tone. Thunderbucker VP (neck p/u only, tone barely on), Super 800 Plus, Rumble 100 with mid controls backed off to noon vs their usual 1:30-2:00.

Chuck you got a sweet bounce in that bass walk! Looks like a great time.
I'm in awe. I've never gotten close to Barry's tone.

Cool! Love songs where you can do some walkin' around.
I've worked on it off and on for a while now and never really been happy about it. Yesterday I wasn't feeling my Dead jam so I switched to the ABB. I happened to be on the VP and just backed the tone off and was suddenly circling the target. I just fiddled by instinct and there it was. The chain didn't nail it, but it was very close. The average listener definitely wouldn't notice a difference. Color me thrilled.
Now if only I had chops like that dude had.
Congratulations !
I have chased the Steve Harris tone since I first started playing.
90% is his playing technique.
The last 10% is magic.
