Yes, we've covered this, Mister O'Neal, please pay attention in class

Hey, I hadn't gotten to the future where it was covered yet! Apparently there's a Tardis shortage so I have to get there the old-fashioned way with linear, constant velocity time.

Like it. Stanley from the Frampton Comes Alive days. Well the playing not the robe thing.

Thunderbird Thursday, birds of a feather...

After we cut 3 songs, Mark’s band got sent home so they could set up for the evening session. All A List top tier musicians...and me, for some inexplicable reason. Kenny normally uses Michael Rhoades on bass, so it was intimidating to say the least.

Thanks for the cool update and "tour" of the session. Anyone who's being used where Michael R. is used must be a good dude. Love his very tasteful, not over playing style. Saw him a few months back with Joe Bonamassa. Was really looking forward to it. Was the worst sounding concert I've ever been to--bar none. So loud and in a "small" room equals sounds like mushed crap. Paid a lot to see that as well. Sorry for the diversion, but did like your post.

Jeeeeez you guys been busy in this thready today!

Rock on!

He Duke! Is that the Michael Rhoades that plays with Bonamassa? Saw him in November. Played a Lull Bird a few songs.

When I saw them he played an old Epi Embassy like mine below most of the night, and the Lull on a few. The Epi has the same PUPs as the early T-birds. So he's into that T-Bird sound at to moment.

Seeing how it's TBird Thursday. I believe this NR would match all of @GonePlaid's requirements.

Some of us are living in the past. Others are living after midnight.

Poor neighbours across the street don't get to hear you play. But what is even cooler, is you have gone completely wireless. Not just from the bass to the amp, but from the electrical outlet to the amp!

Wow - changed my mind and now this is the best I think I've seen.

And is that 4 wraps I see around the tuners?

Honestly on the wrapping of the strings around the tuners I couldn't tell you - Nor do I pay much attention to it other than cutting off what I consider excess length when I'm restringing - Probably a gross sin in somebody's book, not mine

I had tickets to see them, sadly Gary passed away before the show, I too really liked his playing and a lot of Uriah Heep's music from that time, Stealin' being an all time fave. That fact that they just let Gary pedal some simple notes for the first third of the song made the whole thing so much more powerful when the rest of the band kicks in, it's certainly Mick Box's signature guitar solo and lyrically has the best lines of any Heep song - ,"Take me across the water, cause I need someplace to hide, I done the rancher's daughter, and I sure did hurt his pride", and later, "Stood on a ridge and shunned religion, thinkin' the world was mine, I made my break and a big mistake, stealin' when I shoulda been buyin'

For me, that's Rock lyrics at it's best.

Uriah Heep escaped me growing up. Although one friend was sent to clean the dog do’s from the backyard with the command “go pick up the Uriah Heeps”. (True, it was the mid 70s)

I’ll look for this song.

New red Thunderbird! Actually came in yesterday. Rotosound 66 LF installed on 6/6

Fingerboard *needed* conditioning badly. Quick application of dunlop conditioner seems to have done the trick.

Really digging this. All dials up full except the bridge volume just ever so slightly back from the 10 gives a noticeable bump in the output.

Got the relief just about good, going to see if the new strings pull it back. Gotta get the bridge sorted out but the babicz is a big improvement over the tripod.

Feeling good about this one.
