Still got the attitude.
Just as significant today as in 1982.
Yeah Wilko Johnson has an album with Roger Daltrey that I’ve heard... and I like very much.
Well... I’m not really a Motley or hair band fan, I took them as pale imitations of the stuff I liked ‘back in the day’. That has changed over the course of time though.
I have a greatest hits type cd which I like a lot ( and yes it did surprise me
). I saw them live once supporting U2 in Sydney (360 tour I think) and they were very good. Contrast for Black Sabbath I was keen to see the support Rival Sons... and was very disappointed. No spark, just ugh.

Soundcheck is done!
Stage manager insisted bass players and drummers use provided backline. I have a world class bass rig a few feet away, but sure, I’ll play through ‘Baby’s First Ampeg’ to spare you the 5 seconds it’ll take to move a mic and DI line

The Cataldo looks so fine waiting on that stand.
The backline bastardry is the reason to have a preamp pedal ... 'just gonna plug in my pedal board man'.

The last time I saw Sabbath, the supporting act was just a DJ, wasn't very impressed either.
As Kat said, CSI NiagaraWhat was this, an episode of "BG CSI: Bass Guitar Crime Scene Investigation"?

Might have worked ok here, but most places don’t have monitors that would make the bass sound any better
Also, the question has to be asked, is there any point in micing and DIing that?
That sucks. Sorry to hear that. They have a cute logo, though.
Now THAT'S a good use example of the new DG AOU with cabsim. You can use your own cab as a sim, too.

Ha! I know, right? It doesn’t sound bad, really. Just sucks that there’s a rig just out of the frame that is just right, but they don’t want the hassle
Oh no, in that situation, I'd set the Ampeg EQ to 'flat' and run the pre through it. They don't have to move the mic or DI, but you have options...
That's pretty much what I did with the Ampeg combo I used last weekend. Any fine tuning was at my AO.
Hi guys, I'm new here and actually this is my first post on Talkbass
I'm a proud Thunderbird owner, I own 3 of them: The middle one is an Epiphone Classic-IV Pro (Called Vetrarbird) and my first bass (tuned D standard), the Standard-IV Silverburst (Stingerbird, E Standard) is my 3rd bass and 2nd Tbird and the Goth is my 4th and last bass (B Standard).
Right now I'm working on building a custom Thunderbird (we are going to change the headstock, logo and some other things). I was thinking about buying the Seymour Duncan Thunderbird Pups, does anyone of you ever tried them? Can you give me some infos about them?

This ain't our first Tea Dance!

You picked the best place to start. Someone with knowledge of SD humbuckers will be along presently.
Are you going through a BA series Ampeg?
Really I should be asking, which one?
And I agree with Kat, run close to flat and your pedal into the Peg.
I couldn't have started anywhere else. I've been a Thunderbird fan (Do we have like a nickname?) since day 1
