Thunderbird Club

You won't much like the P-bird when I finally finish it then. It's a Precision in all but shape and ergos.

Hey, I’m open to anything! My eyes just gotta adjust to it :)

Ironically, I’ve seen a few J basses with bird pickups and think it looks awesome, so there’s that :)
 
Sorry to say this, but I’m more scared of one than the other.
I'm sure you are more frightened of the correct twin. Fortunately, she's farther away.

I suggest you familiarize yourself with:
Disinformation - Wikipedia
Deception - Wikipedia

Sun Tzu says:
Appear weak when you are strong and appear strong when you are weak
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
The greatest victory is that which requires no battle


It is possible that the twins have already won.
 
I dunno, I’m not anti-fender, but sunburst and tort just make me think fender.

Totally agree. Not sure why I think its decent looking on this one. Probably just because I am mental :wacky::wacky:

Not sure...I’m more weirded out by non T Bird pickups on a Bird...just looks, odd to me

Non T-bird pickups on a Bird don't phase me at all. Half of my Birds are of the P-J variety.

Never show your whole hand.
 
So one of the bands I am in is finishing an LP(? not sure what to call it these days).

Here is a link to one of the tunes (not mastered yet) using my Thunderbird and Orange OB-1 amp.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

We recorder this (and 8 other tunes) in a friends basement.

Dude, the bass IS that song! Love it, love the attitude, love the bass tone!

Bass sounds great!!!
 
There is this matter of a Thunderbird through an Acoustic Control stack. That has a tendency to blow down pretty much everything, including shadows. That's a pretty good line of defense.
That’s just part of it…
There’s this this fancy little output jack on my Mesa that’s labelled ‘Slave Out’ it’ll do wonderful things.
