Thunderbird Club

I gotta call this one like I see it. He plays bass, drums, guitar, and upright, is in a couple different bands, and is willing to transport an ACC 360 rig because he likes the way it sounds. I don't know what Merriam Webster has to say about it... but that sounds like a "musician" to me;):thumbsup:

Got to way agree with that one.
 
All that, and you could knock a guys jaw clear across the room with it & not have to worry about broken tubes!:smug:
:laugh: Yeah after Im done blowing his eardrums clean out of his head. It is a really heavy construction, one might even say overkill because the inside contents dont take up much more than a quarter of its space. This thing was built to last forever witch begs the question "where have they all gone"?.
 
If headroom is a concern... the YBA 300 would most likely suit you better... but that doesn't make this a bad deal by any stretch of the imagination. You could buy it, get a flavor for it, and sell it at a profit if you felt so inclined...

That’s certainly a thought! Headroom is a funny thing. I want to get some grit, but don’t want the lows to mush out

Been listening to clips of those Mono Block amps. Super cool!

One thing about Traynors, from what very little experience i've had, and very little at that, the lows won't mush out on you.
Traynors don't do mush.
 
Wake them up in the middle of the night!

Perhaps it was retaliation for having knocked all his fine China off the wall with your Traynor;)

'Opposite' is a former heritage industrial site recently sold off to a faceless corporate edifice who are 'redeveloping' it. No one lives there. The noisemaker was a contractor of some description.
 
All this Lent talk ? I haven’t done my Christmas shopping yet !

Just in case you don’t know, Bowling Green isn’t bowling on grass. Made that mistake once.

They grow Corvettes there I think

I don't have any Epi NR's or other basses with a PJ configuration, so I can't be of any help there...

Sorry, mistaken identity

Moron who likes hauling stuff around and making a whole lot of noise? That's a pretty good definition, too. I'll take it! ;)

Really, I don't read music well, don't practice enough to be very good, and never quite get anything nailed down as well as it should be. My son reads fluently, can improvise off a chart he has never seen before, transposes in his head on the fly, and generally does things with his trumpet that boggle my mind. I'm a day job type who has fun with music. He's the real thing.

I like to keep clarity & definition... but like a little "push" behind it. The Thunderbird does the rest of the work;)

I'm still working on what to do with the sound of my StingRay. The quality of the sounds it produces, is remarkable! I've just been enjoying a Gibson/Thunderbird state of mind for a while... and this ain't that! I'm a little lost with where to go with it...
