2 6L6s vs. 4 7027s? Hmmm....

Babe Ruth used to like chocolate ice cream with pickled eel...
But any ice cream flavour would be crook in this example.
My Dad used to say ‘ice cream and pickles’ when asked what he wanted to eat. Story goes that one of my Aunts pre-prepared for his visit and served him a bowl...
Bassman 135 and Bassman 100T have 4 x 6L6GC (as does the V-4BRI).
That really is disgusting.
MAN!!! That was AWESOME!!! I would SO love to have that footage of you swingin' on your 'bird, circulated around out in GenPop! According to most of them, ya can't do that on a Thunderbird!
You guys gotta tell us newbies about GenPopMAN!!! That was AWESOME!!! I would SO love to have that footage of you swingin' on your 'bird, circulated around out in GenPop! According to most of them, ya can't do that on a Thunderbird!
True. I thought you meant the more contemporary to the V4, 2 6L6 flavor.
Way cool! Never seen one of those in person. What does an amp like that go for in Australia these days?
Have you ever done a side by side with a bassman? I was looking at the schematics and I see that it came in different versions. Was this achieved but just adding output pairs?
Guitar Center has some cheap Thunderbirds!
But they really need to learn how to use lighting for photography

Very sorry to hear about that. The silver lining is that an open reduction is very stable and healing time is relatively short. Physio/occupational therapy starting around week 4-6 is very important to regaining full mobility.
It has been a very long time since I have seen one. The 50 would have had 5881s and the 75 had 7027s IIRC. Never did a side by side. It used to get quite dirty when it was turned all the way up. The cab weighed a ton -- no idea what the drivers were. I stopped using it after we built the 500W hybrid/mosfet monster, although I occasionally wonder what happened to it.
That was some savvy be-boppin'. Nice easy swing, easy on the ears. You guys are good players!On a different note, go to You Tube and put in "Twisted, Cover By Treasure Coast Driftwoods" and see my'67 Bird(and me)in a somewhat different setting-for a 'Bird. Video is low Q, but audio's decent.
These are both pretty good recordings of my single pickup Lull, II don't happen to have any of my retro fitted Gibson though. Personally, in comparing them to say, my Epi VP I find them a bit fuller, and more balanced sounding, but that is a purely subjective judgement on my part - my ears, my bass, my rig
With a pick.......
Me struggling with fingerstyle live...........
Excellent- loved it, great looking and sounding bass
We're doing that Duran Duran tune, I like the way you own it. I'm still struggling with trying to cop John Taylor's approach... we're coming to common ground on it, lol. Hopefully before our first outing in 2 weeks!

Good to hear from you, sorry you're bearing such unfortunate news. Best to both of you.
Thanks. Our normal repertoire is 60s/70s rock but both guitarists are jazz guys at heart. Just no venue for that around here. ADDENDUM: We have more videos at "Driftwoods of Treasure Coast,Live" by John Kerrison, but I don't use the 'Bird on outdoor gigs-Florida heat and humidity. I'm using an Epi EB-3L, which I sold due to excessive neck dive
