Love the studio version.

I prefer it but watching Belew, Bruford, Fripp and Levine has it's pluses..

this one sends me every time.....first heard it in Morocco after a run in with Mr. Kief and away I went....

The JC is a beast! Lots of fun at high gain!

How is the balance? Would be marvellous if I could leave everything stock (ie no replacement tuners).

Just wanted to mention that I heard back from Jason today. Pages ago I was lamenting not getting replies from him and didn't want to report just one side of the story only--the unfavorable side. There's a thought...

I was eyeing that. Would that be a good My First Thunderbird or should I stick with my plan of getting a Epi VP?

If ya can ford it. Seriously, that’s a good price for a nice Gibson and case.

I followed those EB instructions when I put Cobalt flats on my VP. Now I get creaking and snapping sounds every time I tune it.

I followed the instructions. They put a guide with pictures and everything. I’ve never done it that way before...

Sorry for the delay in replying to you, but as another poster said - Nothing distracts from a Thunderbird!

Using a white strap on a white Thunderbird doesn't take away anything from it. Instead I would say that using a white strap with a white Thunderbird makes it look even more awesome!

Are all those yours? I like the JMJ next to it.

Amazing band, amazing music!

We do the time for distance thing also

Couldn’t do it in LA. “Twenty minutes to two hours.”

One of my all time favorites “Strange Brew!”

Anyone up for a round of Beer Hunter?

Hmmm. Don't see how that would happen. (Not saying it isn't happening.) I followed the instructions on both of mine and they are doing just fine.

Was there any modification done to the headstock?

I had to redrill one screw hole for each tuner

That seems like a Hell of a deal for a custom made Thunderbird!!! Brad Lowe is a member here and at the Last Bass Outpost. If I hadn't just bought the StatusBird (with a Lowe body) I would jump on that!!

Agreed. I only posted it because is has P-Bass width neck, which is not my thing. I know, I know, neck swap (enablers!) but I have a kid graduating high school next week and starting college in in the fall. Money leaves faster than we earn it these days!

Bought a neck from Brad. Most excellent. I’d buy another, fact was looking for a body just to buy another neck
