Thunderbird Club

I haven't recorded in a studio since the early 70's(Criteria, FWIW), but I've heard that some sound engineers want a PBass for the session 'cos they know how to EQ for it. Move some controls, dummy.

I suspect the real problem is they don't know how / are too lazy to EQ drums. They found a way to get drums and bass to work and they just don't want to touch it. Because you know they EQ as needed for guitars and vocals, at the very least.

I posted my p-bass in that thread:

Looks more like a PT Bass.

I have no idea what that even means. People still use uprights plenty, but no one maker or build style ever dominated the market.


Again, I’m failing to understand what you’re trying to say and what anyone of that has to do with the popularity of P basses. Are you trying to say that P’s and J’s don’t sell and get imitated by tons of makers? I know you’re angry about something but it seems way misdirected and random.

I'm not mad at anyone, I just think the whole thing is silly. A bunch of old dudes clutching their P-basses like rifles because Fox News told you that the...

As long as they get rejected by Thunderbirds they can have Precisions with tort and flats. I am an official old guy. I have P with flats. No tort.

I have a Rhodes and Hohner Bass II that has a clavinet setting. Definitely the Little Stevie sound.

He was the master of that sound. He owns it completely.

In addition to (and probably because of) the above, it seems that customs clearance for items entering the US is taking weeks rather than days.
I will also not comment further.

Seems like we could set up a routine visiting schedule with things like that wandering back and forth on the visits.

Well, not permanently. I’ll use any bridge parts that are reversable and let me play the strings I want in tune

I'm not able to compare right now, but you might be able to use the claw from an Epi VP, 60s, now 64 bass (Phil Luthier may have just the claw as well). The slot may be wider or you could modify it so that it is. You would have to make sure the screws line up with the holes. You don't want to drill into the bass. Just keep the old claw if you ever sell it.

The Burmese that we helped get here over the years use fish paste in everything it seems. Pop-Tarts too no doubt. I no go there. Just not my thing. They also eat some of the hottest/spicy food on earth. We're talking drain cleaner hot. Their little kids could eat a Kingsford briquet as a snack. The kids even warn Americans about eating certain things.
