Thunderbird Thursday, sorry no shoes.View attachment 3404883

That Bird makes up for not having shoes in the pic!

There is nothing on the back, so the PG is to cover all the routing on the front.

That makes sense. Maybe chrome?

 

[Count Bassie]

Me too, but I think I'd need a bridge pickup for visual balance and also a thumb rest. Not sure I'd even need it wired in.

I always wire in my thumbrest...

The other direction has books, my bad.

We are all curious about what you read. Next time a picture facing the other way please.

I’m in the hospital 5 days straight now and you gotta lay this crap detail on me? I CANT COVER EVERY SINGLE TASK ON THIS DESIGN! For gods sake, pitch in and do your part so we can get these things out the door and on the shelves people!!!
I did just take my meds, why do you ask?

I seriously hope you are getting better Duke. Been there, done that in ‘15 with two separate week long admissions. One was at Christmas. Get well soon.

Being to the left and slightly behind, you don't have a great angle, but she is distracted with her playing so you could get a good look at her boobs. And your guitar player has achieved target lock on someone in the audience.

I have no self restraint.

Sure, that would be great! Great thread, thanks!

So... had rehearsal tonight.
This is my second outing with the TB.

To give some perspective on this opinion...my other bass (ESP fretless Bunny Brunel signature bass) is a monster flexible beast. I can pretty pull off everything with it.

But MY LAND. The growl. The punch. The SUSTAIN. I'm running with the stock Probuckers supplied on my VP. It is absurd how it just hangs. At our church this evening, the ceiling mounted subs mount bracket was rattling as a result of this particular instrument. They scheduled someone in maintenance to install some kind of insulation to fix it for Sunday.

I'm super impressed with it. Loving this bass.

My band (not the church team) plays a mixture of blues, classic rock, and country, and I'm exploring where to plug in with the TB. It's so extremely different that I find myself relearning riffs.

Sorry for the long post - but I wanted to really walk you guys through my feelings of discovery as I reinvent myself with this bass.

It's absolutely awesome.

The Bird has shown you the light. Too many never understand. You’ve been chosen.

Really? [shakes head]

Thanks so much! I am getting better

M (Duke) needs a jail break.

So anyway ... yeah, as @Nocturnal Andy says, the way you dress and so forth can be quite important if you are trying to carve out an artistic niche.

Crimson Sparkle have gone into lockdown. No more daft publicity-at-any-cost photos, no more dodgy Zoom recordings out there on the web ... and no open mics annoying people with loud music they don't want to hear at beer barns in the suburbs (distracts from pouring their money down the poker machines).

Carve your thing. You're in the game.
