Thunderbird Club

Jeff had asked me to do a clip with the Traynor amp, Broughton HPF/LPF filter, using my ‘02 Gibson with Lollars and Cobalt flats, so here it is

I think the effect of the Broughton is more pronounced with round wound strings, but it’s still there. I can’t say I totally recommend Cobalt flats with the stock Gibson pickups as they’re a pretty dark sounding pickup. I think they benefit from a brighter/livelier sounding string. But they work great with Lollars. I’d imagine they’d be equally great with a Thunderbucker Ranch ‘63. With the TB ‘66, I’d personally stick to rounds


I want a T-shirt like yours! :thumbsup: :cool:
 
I need to be banned from TB. I think I want a thunderbird now.

No!!!

Overrated basses. Muddy, neckdive...worse things ever :)

On a serious note, they may not be for everyone, but I haven’t gigged anything else since I got my first one a few months ago...now I have 3!
 
I played one a few months ago and liked it but since I just got a Warwick, it’s not happening. Maybe in 6 months.

In the meantime, welcome! I hung out here quite awhile before getting my first T Bird. Good folks, except for this one kid...
