That looks great. It's not saw dust on top, right?

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.

Just ordered a claw from Philadelphia luthier. If anything I’ll drill it out since it’s a non original, reversable upgrade.


Man the more I play it the more I like this bass. Y’all ever play a Squier rascal? It’s kind of like that but with more top end and “oomph”.


Out of my 10 years of being a bassist and trying hundreds of different basses, including gibsons, I never thought I’d be a Tbird guy but it seems to be a match made in heaven.

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.

Are there oyster Pop-Tarts?

No, but there are these.

I suspect it depends on genre and locale. I see Pbasses played around Austin, but more not-Pbasses played.

For a while there was this Jazz obsession in the Houston/Galveston area, that and Teles- no Strats or P-Basses. A couple years ago I saw a bassist at a local club and asked him about his P-bass and he said it was a loaner from a friend because his Jazz was being worked on.

But I like P-basses, which seems odd for someone who is a Warwick fan- which is borderline anathema for some of that crowd.

But here lately, I've come to appreciate my Jazz, despite the fact that the narrowness of the neck at the nut used to bother me, compared to the P-bass.

To conclude my ramble, monolithic trends aren't necessarily a good thing for eclectic soundscapes. Remember how ubiquitous the Fender single-coil out-of-phase sound was in the 80's? It's a cool sound, but perhaps not so. much when nearly all rhythm sections featured it in rock and pop.

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've heard that recently from band members in the Houston/Galveston area- the engineer says, "Put away your 5000 dollar boutique bass and use that battered house Precision sitting in the corner."

Sounds like a challenge to me. I eat stuff that would kill a normal person.

You were clearly chosen by a Thunderbird then. That's how it happens.

And some people kill stuff that would eat a normal person.

I love lamb and cook it many different ways but cooked in fermented yogurt isn’t one of them.
I want my shanks in a red wine reduction like this…

Much as I love all my Thunderbirds, there is just something very special about the ones from the '60s, reading your post makes me happy - Enjoy all your basses, but maybe that old Bird the most

My answer/question to the "engineer" would be "do the letters f.o. mean anything to you?"
