Thunderbird Club

Huh. never heard that one that I can recall. It made me think of this at one point:


That Ridley fella knew what to do with an FSO.

That was a staple of the bands I was in during high school. One of the few songs they let me try to sing backing vs on. And no, I couldn’t play the all of it note for note. Pretty much stayed with main riff and noodled around it. It was a fun jam.
 
There's a side of me that wishes i had 12's again. It was truly glorious through the AV.
As far as comparison goes, it's really apples and oranges the way i'm hearing it. The M6 is so fat and warm while being extremely articulate with gobs of power. The GK700RBii sounds great as well but to my ears doesn't have that mid to upper mid warmth. They both hold their own in what they do. What the GK excels at to my ears is the grind. But with the B7Ku, i can get all that, with the warmth. Plus the Mesa has got all that crazy low end, just like i remember it. Thank goodness for the Broughton. But now i'm all confused about the Berg. I gotta work with this new rig a bit to see if i'm gonna go back to all 12's or not. This sh!t never ends, Does it.

Maybe I shouldn’t oughta read things like this.

(I’m saving for a trip so I shan’t be buying, but it’s in my ‘one day’ list now.)

This beast is at a local rehearsal space. Lots of funky design features, eh?
Looks like it was strung lefty at some point. The fingerboard appears to be made of some kind of shiny non wood substance:

drooldrooldrool I love the old Hagstroms! My first electric was a beater Hag that I modded to heck and back. Still a fave. I really need a bass. That one's gorgeous. Did you play it?

Cool! I always liked Thirty Days in the Hole, too, but I *love* this. There are some other cool versions by various artists, but I haven't seen anyone else who could touch Humble Pie on it. If you haven't seen it, seek out live footage of them playing this on youtube and just watch Steve. It's too bad he didn't end up in the Stones, but there was no way Mick was going to share the stage with that nuclear explosion!
 
Thanks for posting.
Here's my favs in order:
7,6,4,3,1,2,5
I like fundamental, w/balls.
That's almost the exact order I had as well (4,6,7,3,1,2,5)

Want it to end, NO WAY!, it's all part of the fun. :)
My tone is all falling into place. I'm super uber happy.
If you think the AV212 sounds good you should try the Berg NV412.
