Thunderbird Club

Anyone got any experience of GSS cabs? I’m considering pulling the trigger on a nice looking 112 to double up my markbass...
It’s a £300 cab currently sitting at £50 on eBay. I’m going to have to invoke the spirit of @dukeorock here

Might be losing our guitarist, which also means losing our rehearsal space. He's got some tinittus and doesn't want to use plugs, so he may be giving up the band. Additionally, our drummer has moved, and it puts him 45 minutes away. Gonna talk about it soon and see what we're gonna do with it. If this one folds, I'm prolly gonna see if I can get something new together.

Maybe you and @dukeorock could create a band using 2 Thunderbirds and a drummer?

They don't even need a drummer. Mark can cover that with a Thunderbird!

Sometimes when looking through the Guitar Center used gear site ya just gotta scratch your head and ask, what were they thinking...

Missed out on that one unfortunately. Never mind, I’m in no rush.

Mark is a one man band if he wants to be.

LOL - maybe it has four 10uf capacitors and was manufactured for GK by Ampeg. See it all makes sense now.

I used to have a one man band, but it broke up due to creative differences

I can see GC has really stepped up their game in promoting non-sales of poorly/falsely/maybe they actually have it, advertised items.

That can be a problem when the alter ego reeks havoc on the id.

I thought about joining a praise and worship band a while back, until I found out I'd have to praise and worship the lead guitarist.

I know, and it's killing me!
I was torn between the Ebony and white VP and went Ebony for $600 without a case. Now a month later this one shows up for $450 with a case AND the opportunity to try before I buy and no shipping. Dang, not in the market anymore I'm already at n+3 on TBSO. Must ... fight ... the ... urge!!!

Just give in..... it's for the best. Plus, you'll end up with one eventually.

Vince is right. It's really all about economics. You really should do the responsible thing, and buy this bass! You've already expressed your love for Thunderbirds, and more recently, the Vintage Pro specifically. You've also confessed that you have others that "barely get used". You have the very rare opportunity before you, to kill three birds with one stone. Get a white VP... sell off a lesser used bass that you don't feel such desire and passion for... and put some money in your pocket when all is said and done! I fail to see a downside! @Dr_Feelgoood212 ... any downsides?

Only downside I see, is that it's not in his bass room yet!

Or just let your thumb float around somewhere. That's what I generally do. It may or may not be good technique.

It's all purely fantasy anyway. The only one-pickup Thunderbird available is exponentially out of my price range.
