You bought those of Phx Craigslist? You should have gone for the trifecta and bought the white Classic Pro as well.
Nice Birds you have there!!!
*oops* chrome pups.... Vintage Pro... right (I don't have a lotta checkered flags... but I usually manage to get across the finish line)
Actually, I was selling them. I recently had some health problems and missed a few paychecks. I listed more things than needed and luckily the Thunderbirds didn't get any bites. I sold the last of the Precisions I had listed tonight and thankfully was able to keep the Birds.
While I am a die hard Tbird guy, I’m also one who believes there is a place for a nice Pbass with Chromes. Hope you were able to keep one.
Oh yeah, I actually kept four and a P/J. I'm in no danger of running out yet. I hadn't had the Thunderbirds that long and wasn't attached to them, now I can get acquainted and pull them out of the cases and give them the play they deserve.
It can be. Blackface or Blonde (if you are lucky) is what you really want. Any silver face stuff came with CBS when they decided to "clean up" the sound of Fenders by reducing the gain structure and other things. The result was very stiff sterile sounding amps..
Actually, a silverface Twin Reverb is just the ticket if you want loud clean tone with some bottom end. Other than that, though, I'd basically look for a cheap silverface and mod it to blackface specs- Philistine that I am.
You can't beat Gibson buckers into Dual Showmans. Always wondered about the effect on that bass..chorus?..
Now yer talkin'!!
Totally agree. Silverface heads work well for bass imho..

Grey Goose?..Part of this is to continue drinking clear liquids. Unfortunately, beer and single malt didn't make the list.
I always assumed it was a flanger, but, here it is, from the horses' mouth.
Rob Grange's tone on 'Stranglehold'
Well....Bummer!Fellow Thunderbirders: If I fail to quickly respond to anything directed my way, I'm in the early stages of prep for tomorrow's colonoscopy so I may be otherwise occupied.
I hope it goes well and ends well, hugs
It's a terrible thing apparently yes. I remember about 25 years ago, a man who lived a couple of houses away had it, you could hear him screaming from our house occasionally, not good.
Did you hear about Wilko Johnson's excursion with pancreatic cancer? He was diagnosed with it in 2013 and given 6 month to live, so him being him decided life is good and be damned with feeling bad with treatment went on tour (we saw him in Manchester, brilliant!). Anyway some time later a surgeon was watching him perform and thought "you should be dead not walking up and down the stage" so suspected some rare type of cancer and got in touch with him. Soon after he operated on Wilko and it was this rare condition and he's had an all clear. If Wilko had decided to take the treatment and not tour he would never have known. Lucky guy!
We've heard this beforeCoulda been worse, you weren't surrounded by cold, half eaten fried chicken with your undies around your ankles.
There is some story to this 
) Note the cash!
