Thunderbird Club

I am. Because after playing a few notes just now, really loud (it’s still early enough here not to get evicted), it sounds crazy grindy, in a way I just love.

How do you like the Fuji digital? I was very close to buying on of these when they came out, but it didn't do a lot for me that my Pentax 67II couldn't.

For the past couple of rehearsals I've just used my Lull straight into my 700RB II, honestly it's just great tone for what we're doing, love it!
I'd say that your tone and your execution are two of the main jewels in your crown. Of course i've only been able to check you out via online videos of varying qualities... but I've always been able to hear the bass, and it's always sounded good! I find your sonic space to be directly proportionate to your physical space on stage. Rarely is it, that the bass player has that strong of a role in a band. I aspire to be as comfortable and confident with a bass in my hands, as you. The badassest part is... YOU are what the kids would refer to as "The O.G.". You could show up to the gig in jeans & a T-shirt, and still be the star of the show! ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!!!
 
I for one can appreciate that. Just using an XT-1. Would love an XT-2 or an X-Pro2.

NICE!

I have a couple of (rather old - late 70s, early 80s) Nikons, the Pentax 67, and a couple of other "interesting" pieces, including an antique 35mm rangefinder that I still use on occasion. Since Kodak discontinued the E-6 kit, I can't develop slides at home anymore, so I have moved to C41 and take it in for processing. I still do B&W at home. And I scan on either a Nikon CS5000 or a CS9000 (depending on format).

Perhaps we need to do a kick-starter to get the Nasty Habits on tour this side of the continent...
