Ran out of matches"1"?
Couldn't get the other 99 on there or what? Oh, no burning season in Cal I guess.

The '21 is leaning back a bit and making it look shorter. It may be, but not that much.
Not only much thicker neck, but body as well. An attempt to mitigate ND I suppose. But seriously, but build them like the one's people seek out.
I did put the new set of La Bella DTFs on the '21 for last night and really loved it. D and G a little bright with a pick, but they were on the bass for a day, so in a month or so they will be maturing nicely.
I can say the pups in '21 are likely a little higher output than those in the '66. Not a problem because amps have knobs for that, just an observation.

Took the time tonight to hack & hog out the pickup cavities on my Ungothed Tbird to install my newly received modern TBird + pickups (Thanks @Ringhammer !!). After much fuss in the brittle/dry epi body, they're wired up to the single killswitch, & i gotta say, they're much clearer than i had imagined!
Yes against the 60's RI alnico 5 pickups they're much more low mid heavy, where the 60's have unparalleled clarity. With no EQ tweaks to my solid state 70s peavey head, the 60s is classy with a hint of hidden tricks. The Pluses are very meaty & growl, the 60s pack punches & grind. Which one will end up in the new maple bodied Tbird build/revamp, most likely the 60's RI. However, i'm toying the idea of building another bird variant for myself using the Modern TB + set.
I'm curious, anyone with a gibson blackbird with original "deep sixx" pickups could confirm their Kohms rating per pickup? My 60's RI are 8.36k & 8.45K, while the TB+ are 9.61k (modern 2023 build), & 9.77k (from a 97 gibson bird).

The Flinstone House, Sand Hollow UT. There are many Rock formations, this is one of many. Many trails, both require many names, who knows who came up with them. Too late to have anything Thunderbird related.
Don’t be fooled by its small fangs. One bite from this snake can kill you in less than 30 minutes
With venom that can induce death in less than half an hour, it's no surprise the eastern brown snake is responsible for the highest number of snake fatalities in Australia.
www.abc.net.au
PS: the Inland Taipan is more venomous, enough to kill 100 adult humans. But you don’t see those unless you go out into the desert areas. Which I don’t do.
But Eastern Browns, yeah they are around, but the most common venomous snake near me is the RedBellied Black snake. Lots of them is scrubby areas. Pretty bad but a brown could take one out without raising a sweat.
I’m no hero, I just give all snakes a wide berth. I don’t wait to enquire whether they are venomous or not.

How did you like the DR Legends?
Or were you hiding from something trying to eat you for lunch?

Thank you Mr. Builder of Beautiful Birds.
But I did have pants on...
Not my thing. Not on the '21 anyway. Grippy and you can feel the spaces/windings, unlike La Bella or GHS. I will try them on something else. They are round core and supposedly more more flexible. Felt like typical 105 strings. La Bella Low Tension are flexible, but not like TIs.
My JC came with TI’s. They took some getting used to compared to EBCF and Power Flat.

How we do it on the North Coast.
Really interesting tube amp that slides into a 310 cab. Don’t know if $1k is reasonable, but saying you aren’t allowed to turn it on before buying is a red light.
Mr Weasley trying to light it?
