They are very aware of the issue, as they have a banner at the top of the support pages about it. I got a popup a little while ago and reported it. If you get one, a screenshot, time of day, and what page you were on are good things to provide in your bug report.
I am not much of a purist that way. If it is a replica or original means little to me as long as it is not a fake. The real proof is function. Does it feel and sound good? If the answer to those questions is yes, then it is good, at least to me. There are vintage bass guitars that kinda suck, too. It is a practical thing. I can certainly see why you especially would not be very enthusiastic about copies. There is no right answer.
That’s Roddy Piper for ya!
Yes, as with much in life... it's subjective and I respect everyone's take on such.
He came up with that line on his own when they shot that scene - brilliant.
UPDATE: An amp might qualify as a major appliance, but only if it costs as much as a washer/dryer/refrigerator set.It's Memorial Day Weekend-don't forget to buy a car, mattress, or major appliance.
Adblock + seems to working for me.
That sounds about right when we saw them. He's a Pbass guy at heart, but likes other basses for various things. If I never encountered Thunderbirds I would be as well. Something special about a good Pbass and flats. If I had no Thunderbird that's where I'd spend most of my time.Just watched Chris Stapleton on ACL from sometime in 2025(?). A bit disappointed JT only played the TBird on 3-4 songs.
I have an Eastwood fretless EUB Ampeg style bass. Bought it used at a decent price and added a TB+ pickup under the pup cover. It’s not a bad bass at all, as good as most of my Eppi Tbirds in sound and build quality and costs about the same. It’s an interesting and different look and not so far off of a NR body shape that it can’t scratch my fretless Tbird itch…
Still a couple weeks early for the really good watermelons from our Central Valley. I bought one from AZ the other day. It wasn’t all that great.
