Thunderbird Club

I always thought of them as thrash.Metallica, Testament, Slayer. They all kinda got thrown in the thrash pool. Then again should we really label music? I just jumped on the “band wagon” hehe get it?!
Always got put in the same bucket as the early thrash bands, but I always thought that they had different roots and therefore a different style.
 
If you look at the 7ender website, there is very little information on the Rumble cabinets. Given the paucity of information, I think MSRP of a new unit is the place to start a comparison. And making assumptions about the consequent comparable value of the BOM is a reasonable approach because there is no other data to compare. Price is not the same as quality, but there is usually a good correlation.
My opinion of the trade had nothing to do with relative market value. I don't have any idea what any of that equipment is worth as far as real cash dollars.

Yeah, I looked at the website then went to GC and tried both the 100 and 200. Both sounded really good for the tone, etc. that I want. Adding in the portability(important to a GOF)and the cost made it the way to go. If the 100 had external speaker out, I mighta gone with it. We don't play anywhere I need monstrous power. In fact there's only one place we play that I use the extension 112 cab and I don't need it there.:)

I've had my R200c since November of 2015 and the only problem I've had is not being able to use it enuff.:((lack of gigs)
 
Anyone had their hands on a Schecter Nikki Sixx bass? I thought about getting one a while back but couldn’t find a store that had one for me to play.
Played one at a shop. It was pretty cool looking, hung we’ll had sounded awesome. If I had not seen with my own eyes Nikki spit on fans at a concert multiple times (the fans loved it, BTW) I would probably have it. I like that it has a full upper register and PJ setup. Color is nice, too. I think Schecter typically uses EMGs. But... pricy. And it smelled like saliva.

Still the best non-fridge cabinet I've ever played through!
My Berg HT322 will be the very last piece of bass gear I ever get rid of, yes even the birds would go before it goes. But that only makes sense because the birds would be my last basses to go and without any basses who needs a cab!;)
 
Speaking of Prog. Would you say......dare I say....that Rush is prog? I could be getting into dangerous territory here!
No, they're not from Prog, I think they're Canadian. ;)
On the Canadian music scale they are closer to Justin Bieber than Anne Murray but closer to Nickelback than Neil Young.:D In my house they're closer to the trash can than Offspring, but in @theFixer house they are more likely to be heard than anything Offspring ever produced.:cool:
YMMV
