Thunderbird Club

Actually, when I put Cobalt Flats on a 'Bird, it got a fantastic angry piano sound. I don't understand how the Cobalt Flats tear up Phil's fingers. They are flats! The tension doesn't bother me, and I'm used to having no frets and the abolute lack of feedback from gut strings on the upright, so smooth strings isn't an issue. I can even get a decent twangy sound out of Cobalt Flats if it's called for.

So, there's my two pixels worth. Besides, I fall over in heels and just don't have the right kind of legs.

First impressions, very similar to what Will has described, tons of punch and balls to go with it, very happy.
Oh, and removing the tone circuit is a beautiful thing.
And now for whatever reason, no more funky scratchy distortion from the Bird through my rig, go figure.

I really dig the way you set your tuning pegs so they're 90 degrees to the neck, instead of 90 degrees to the edge of the headstock. It's a subtle detail that quietly lends itself to the overall "attitude" of the bass.:cool::thumbsup:
May have gotten a little carried away on @kat888 's NR....but I figured every mm closer to her tiny hands the easier it would be to reach them.
