Saw a 2012 (personal 50birthday year bass) Gibson for $2200 yesterday. The 2014 Cherry on ABH that @theFixer generously stuck into my brain is cheaper than that and nos. and in NSW I think opposed to Sth Aust for the 12.

Plan 9 started rehearsing tonight. That's my premier Thunderbird project, I figure. Played the Hamer tonight, and it does not deliver like the 'Bird.
Q: Can anyone here among us do a brief, concise anecdotal-like comparison 'twixt the Deep Sixx and Thunderbucker pickups? Just curious.

I hear you about Thunderbird projects. I have been playing the upright nearly all the time these days. Thursday and Friday night are both going to be upright bass gigs. I'm trying to figure out how to sneak the 'Bird into the band that plays on Friday. It's a band that could have an electric bass set, whether it's the fretless 'Bird or a snarling, growling thunderous 'Bird. Maybe both. We have two + sets with the upright. Now maybe it's time to have a fretted 'Bird set and a fretless 'Bird set. More stuff to carry, but who cares when you have a cart and a van, anyway?
That ain't enablin'. That's just showin' pitchurz!
I reckon yer enablin' me to see 'em... if that's what you were goin' fer
Zemaitis bass??? I didn't even know they'd made basses! I just looked 'em up. I applaud their uniqueness!

Prolly made to go with Ron Wood's guitars no?
Either that, or he picked it up cuz he found it odd. He was known for his off-beat sense of humor (something I can't relate to at all)
As long as he doesn't work for Dewey, Cheatem and Howe...................

Nice version of "Maybe I'm Amazed" -
great wolfy tone on his bass, very EB-0 like. Something to be said about a having a neck-hugger pu on board

No, and I don't even play one on TV. Lawyers pay me.
Ronnie Lane was one of those guys that carried his tone in his fingers. No matter what bass he played, it always sounded like "him"Nice version of "Maybe I'm Amazed" -
