Thunderbird Club

[Count Bassie]

I'm swapping for a JBL sub to bi-amp with, also on Saturday. Did some homework, it's gonna be the right thing to do.

To add to the Xmas, I have an Acoustic 370 head that should be in Saturday. I cannot wait!

Massive!

What do y'all use for flight cases for 'birds? I have some East Coast gigs coming up and was thinking of taking the Greco, but it doesn't fit in my flight case.

 

[Larry V]

j/k about the number.

I like them. They still sound similar which surprised me. They are a little more gritty and old school.

I found them a bit brighter.

The flight case I bought for my Charvel 4B also is roomy enough for either of my TBirds (goff and TBIV). I got it at Concert Musical Supply in Murfreesboro TN for... $175, I think. The foam is moveable and more can always be added. They sell it there, although not in the sexy red velvet covering. 2nd one down:

I think just a show in Manhattan and then a couple in Brooklyn, just a few fill ins for a friend (but fingers crossed it might lead to some other work). Dates are still being set, but I'll post about it once it's all sorted.

Nice, that looks like a very good solution, and with the movable foam would accommodate all my basses.

Niiiiiiiiiiice

MP418SP, powered, but the amplifier doesn't work. Buzz is that it's got functionality up into the mids, up to 2KHz, so it's at least partially suitable for bass guitar application. Running it with a 210 and a crossover is the idea, I think.

Just thought I would stop in and drop this off...
Gibson Thunderbird II Bass 1965 Dark Burst

This is bass porn of very high quality.

 

[Mantis Tobaggan]

Yeah i will play it more today after work

 

[godofthunder59]

Big Red my '66 custom color Cardinal Red Gibson Thunderbird II is back in one piece after suffering a nasty headstock break. Ben Bruton of Bruton guitars did a fantastic job!

I am sure you mentioned this previously, but which version of the Thunderbuckers did you choose?

 

[Dadagoboi]

ThunderBird (pickup) content...actually a ThunderBucker 66 set. Recorded less than an hour after @bholder unpacked it.


Fingerstyle, no FX.
