Thunderbird Club

[kat888]

Considering he's from Buffalo NY... there's a border between Buffalo and Southern Ontario, so it's actually not improbable

Never checked he was a real Canadian ... well there you go.

I just knew it was a remodeled Sunn 300t. Not sure beyond that

Actually the one of which I speak is not a clone of that. (I think).

3 brand names - Eden, Fame & Ashton. 300 w valve amp.

The Ashton/FAME 300watt tube amp thread with PICS!!![/QUOTE]

Ooh, that’s cool!

It's bourbon, though, so Maker's Mark actually pretentiously spells it incorrectly.

Makers is good luvin’ though

kinda freaky, ain't it

Very

Announcement

I have two Thunderbirds, an amp and cab I love and all the signal modification equipment I need or desire. There is no new Thunderbird on the horizon for months (funds still need to be accumulated).

So, until such time as a shiny white Thunderbird II arrives, I will be spouting complete and total bollox.

Apologies in advance.

Does that mean a shiny white Thunderbird II is in the works from IDAGO/Swamp IKEA?

HOURS?! Yikes! BASS EMERGENCY!

Are you going through purchase withdrawals yet?

Also surprised at lack of 'exceeding 3000' posts. Are we still waiting for Fixer?

There's been no acknowledgement from the good man as how we carried the baton across the finish line.

You, apologize?, nah, no need to. i'm the one spouting most of the bollox around here.

That was considered, as well as a skateboard deck and a few other things. At least I'm not the sort of person to make cardboard cutouts of pedals and sit arranging them to fit a given surface. Oh no, I would never do that.

There's an online tool to help arrange pedalboards.

if it weren't for wanting another bass, and some of you and your pedal fetish's, this would be a serious consideration for me.

Moog Moogerfooger MF-108M Cluster Flux Pedal

One day I will own some Moog pedals. Not soon, but one day.

People need to learn that "Upgrades" usually lower resale, not raise it. And the fact the neck has been 'buffed', is a big hit to resale. Plus no 'Make An Offer' option, I'd walk away instantly

Yeah, unless the original parts are included.

That said, that 02 is a fine looking bass. But they're asking new 4003 money for it.

It's a bit -- how to say this? -- uhhhh ... complicated for my tastes.

4 strings, pick, set and forget. I can manage to step on a button footswitch if it's required before the song starts and at the end I can step on it again. That's the limit of my skills.

In one song, I start with the Ravish Sitar, delay, and reverb pedals on. Then I switch the latter two off. Then I switch the Sitar off and change pickup settings. Then I use wah for part. Then I switch the delay, reverb, and sitar back on and change pickup settings again. Then I switch them all off and change the pickup settings back. Then I switch on fuzz for a part, and then switch it off and change a switch on it. Then I switch it back on and also use the wah pedal. Then I switch on the delay and reverb pedal and continue using the fuzz and wah for even more obnoxious noise. And then I switch on the Korg Miku for as much noise as possible. Then I use the tuner to mute my bass signal and let the delay/reverb fade out and then switch everything off before coming back in. I also switch between pick and fingers several times in that song.

In another song, I start with everything off, then use the wah to emphasize some fills, then switch on the sitar, then delay and reverb. Then I switch all three off. Later I switch the delay and reverb on again, then off. The next pedal change is switching on fuzz. Then delay and reverb for a couple bars to make feedback sound cooler, then I switch them off again. And then I switch the sitar and the delay and reverb, and then on the last note I max out the reverb and delay controls. Also quite a bit of pick/fingers back and forth in this song.

And that's just the two songs Catapult is playing tomorrow.

Nice self-portrait.

Mind you, when was the last time you heard the words 'my trusty theremin' in a pedal demonstration?

Inter Arma have theremin on their albums and have a theremin player at some of their shows.

Got my Epi Vintage Pro today and can't say enough good things about it. They did a great job with these!View attachment 2866887

Whole lot of cool in one picture.

'Nutrition Facts'

Hahahahahahaha

'These will kill you'

Oh, I see Maker's Mark can actually spell 'whisky' correctly. Props.

Whisky = Scotch
Whiskey = all other types

It's bourbon, though, so Maker's Mark actually pretentiously spells it incorrectly.

XD

Yeah, that's actually incorrect if it isn't Scotch.

Couldn't possibly say if a basswood/maple/ebony/63N white REV41 is in the works. Wouldn't want to go on about it like I did the NR41KB.

No, you wouldn't, not you.

Well.... first, you can't leave us hanging like that. Second... we won't reach the Spector Crüe with an attitude like that!!!

Something seriously wrong with that boy

He's just a Beta. Still gotta few bugs to work out in the assimilation software

Yeah, but what does the bass player do?

They lost the files and moulds, probably on purpose. But there will never be another version.
