While we don’t have a Thunderbird Rd, a local suburb has its streets named for planes.
So, Spitfire Drive, Hurricane Dr, Sopwith Ave, DeHavilland Crescent etc.

Another nearby suburb has its streets named after cars.
So, Pontiac Place, Bugatti Drive, Singer Place that type of thing.

My suburb theme is Shakespearean Characters.
So, Desdemona, Iago, Romeo, Juliet, Cleopatra, Hamlet, Othello etc.
The suburb we adjoin is Dickens, so they have Copperfield, Crispsparkle, Micawber etc

Forgot the plane street that prompted this 🤣

From what I've read about 70's Tbird pickups, they weren't necessarily consistent in tone. Actually now that I think about it I've read that about all eras of Tbird pickups:laugh:

Indeed!
My '64 Thunderbird does not sound like the '64 Epi Embassy with the same pickups. Maybe the difference is in neck construction and possibly some slight difference in pup location, but I don't recall. The Epi is noticeably more low heavy and less hi mids and highs.

LOL - so correct. It’s kinda like asking, does a dog make a good pet? There’s only a thousand different variables to consider before answering that question. :)

But isn't that kind of straining gnats what makes up a high percentage of posts here?! It's because we all have issues! Bass issues. Which is a perfectly normal issue to have by the way.

Reminds me of meeting my cousin in London. He was President of Heinz Europe. He sent his driver to pick me up at the hotel. I saw a guy in the lobby carrying a Heinz sign. I walked up to him and said "are you the ketchup guy?" His reply was, "no sir, baked beans."

Perfectly good waste of a bass player at a trade show.

Cool.
Give Ashdown a call. You've also got user experience. Those won't work in an A/B amps? ABM's use them as I recall. Beyond this point I'm in over my head.
