Conspiracy!
Boy I miss playing rock n roll. Tryna do something about that... reggae is cool, psyche is art. But rock n roll is where my heart is at, I think. So essential, so unimpressive. Perfect.

Gotta have dancers in hot pants on a platform.
People don’t like things they don’t understand. They don’t understand how a bass that wasn’t designed by Leo Fender, and so oddly shaped, could sound so good.
Also people don’t understand that two humbuckers will react differently to amp EQ, than a single split-coil, or two single coils.
Glad you are able to understand, and joined the right side… I mean Bird side
This bass is pure gold, I’m kind a glad that some people don’t get it, it’s not for everyone but it’s beast for those who understand them
Yeah, pretty much. Throw a little Montrose in there...
Man! That sucks Roger! I feel your pain though, been hit with a few unexpected bills of late ourselves (4 new tires and a washing machine pushing up daisies!). Best wishes to you brother.
Yeah, we have fellowship in our sufferings. Best to you as well my man!

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
That's a drag, when that happens... Fortunately I've not been in that situation yet, despite a huge car repair bill last month ($4.000)... And they didn't even fix all the stuff they had to - So it's going into the shop again on monday - Hopefully I still have money left for that....

Whoa. Amazing bass sound!
Its gnarly as hell, very demonic sound. What pickups are in that beast?.
I like the bridge for your bass. And it's a top-loader! Yep.

Great shootout!
I may find myself under attack for saying this... but I think that Peavey walked all over the P-bass! That Peavey had some grit and attitude! I liked it a lot! Obviously, the Thunderbird sounded better than both of the others.
My favorite thing about your video, was watching how much more you were enjoying playing the T-bird, than the others. It seemed quite obvious to me, that you are really diggin' that bass!
Skinny, no shirt, and made of leather?
Flats? With silks? Trying to provoke?
You know that saying what goes around comes around? Last week I made the decision that me and my Bird needed to spend more time playing with others. We heard on a few occasions that My Bird sounded fine but nowhere near as warm or bottom end heavy as my Precision and although that is true it was the unique sound factor I was after when I installed the Rickenbacker pups and as much as I wanted to incorporate that Thunderbacker into my bands sound I could not, realization settled in and off went the Rick neck pup into the EB3's bridge position and into the Birds neck position came the.........Bird's bridge pup!. I still have a Chickenbacker neck pup in the Birds bridge position so now my Bird is a Thunderchicken. All strung up with NYXL nylon coated string 70 - 135 gauge.The Bird is back, pissed off and ready to rumble! I never know what to play for a sample so I just live in the moment.
