Ouch. As I've said before, it's nice to share...
And I only mean that in the most genuine, and wholesome, of ways.

Found a Thunderbird classic Pro locally, for a pretty good price. I'm going to see if I can work it out... I've got to move an amp head to do it, and boy it's not much of a seller's market these days. We've spoken though, we'll see, she's a-callin'.
Wish me luck!!

Yeah! Get that bird!

Glad to see I’m not the only one gigging a FSO here. I played my Casady in the second set, but no pics.

I've seen a few JCs being played at big shows. They are a great instrument.

Glenn Cornick (Jethro Tull, Wild Turkey)

Zach Anderson (Radio Moscow, Blues Pills)

Oh dear, all this time I’ve been reading that as Blue Pills...

Isn't that what they use to create Hard Rock?

The sound man said it sounded better...

Everyone who hears my JC likes it. I had thought it unlikely that they were all very impressed with my playing...

Oh yeah! that is a Debbie Harry.

The guitarist in my cover band says it’s the most aggressive bass he’s ever heard. And that was with Chromes!

Yeah, the JC is not the thumpy rhythm machine that you expect from a semi-hollow. It has a great growl to it that would be quite at home playing metal/punk/classic rock. I think that most of the magic is in the pick up, but I am open to arguments for other factors. Come to think of it, my Midtown is not a thumpy rhythm machine either; it gets aggressive too.

I find I have to keep the gain way down on my PF-50T or the JC will push the preamp into distortion. She’s hot!

 

[GonePlaid]

HAHA!! I wish! 28 degrees outdoors. broke a D string. sucked, but pay was good..

Really? I've never broken a string. I did have a tape wound come unwound due to someone else's carelessness.

 

[GonePlaid]

Not having much luck with that.

I have the correct 6 numbers. The state keeps pickin' the wrong 6.

 

[GonePlaid]

Damn near killed him! Sorry, misread that word...

Still a great punchline.
