Just an FYI, reverse is the generic designation for birds of that type vs a non-reverse.

We were pretty fired up last night, I love going on first, everybody's ears aren't worn out and if they're coming to see the headliners we always try to put on a better show. Loved the Ashdown, here it's getting me pretty close to the song's tone, a little clanky, plenty of definition - Love those Gibson RI pickups!
My bad... I was thinking non reverse. Got 'em mixed up.
We pretty much all think Gibson did too...

I have this one and it works well. I think it is the same version Ringhammer posted above, but from Amazon: Amazon.com

Yes. A great option I would think. Ashdown has a couple 30w versions.
True here with fog. Morons (yes morons)...
1. Don't think you need to slow down,
2. There can't possibly be any one ahead slowed or stopped 50th into the fog. Just not possible ("I'm the only one on the road or on earth" person.)
Not much different when it snows for way too many. ("I can drive fast in anything.") Sure you've dealt with it countless times.
Love your tone. It's not what I shoot for, but in other settings certainly would on occasion. Big but still present, filling in perfectly.
That’s a reverse. It’s the original bird shape, but it’s backward to everything else at the time, so it’s called reverse.
That looks like the one I have. No labels, just a tiny “Made in India” tag inside. Works fine - just not for an Epi VP/60s/64 with the Rhode Island sized HS.

Yeah, probably not quite what you're after tone wise, but I think you'll be really happy with your new addition, these are really good amps - got quite a few comments from some fellow musicians in the audience last night.
If you're looking for incredible protection, both the Gator ProGo and Icon soft cases will fit the Thunderbird if you take out the inside bottom cushion. It's just held in with velcro. I've had both. I prefer the ProGo's pocket setup, but the Icon is a little wider at the bottom, which fits the Thunderbird body a little better. Either would serve you well.
Thanks for the quick replies on gigbag for Thunderbird! Gonna try the one from Amazon. If I don't like it... it will be easy to send it back and get a refund.
Although it’s not a tone I’m frequently after, that amp setting sounds great for that song. Would sound equally epic on another fast chug song - Paranoid, by Black Sabbath.
If I ever get my Warwick Thunderbird build completed it would nail that tone even on a normal amp setting.
Well played my Queen, love to see and hear the excitement at your venues, maybe someday in person.
That's a beauty!It's been a bit quite on the Thunderbird front around here, not much available locally so my eyes landed on a '66 Firebird at The House of Guitars. It's been on layaway for a number of months and I was finally able to bring it home today. It's a great addition to the collection and will look great with my birds.
