Thunderbird Club

[GBassNorth]

Came across this video late last night and cannot stop watching/listening. Good chill tunes for a drive into work, or pretty much whatever IMO. And the bass player is of course awesome.

Good to see that the villian from Cave Dwellers found something to do after his acting career...

Great tunes, relaxing and kinda trippy. Also glad the cave dweller was able to transition to lead guitar.
And who da thunk that Christiane Amanpour was such a good bass player.

And, under the heading: shallow-like their sound, dislike their looks. JMO.

nothing wrong with shallow---but, is trying to repeatedly convince others one is shallow really shallow?....hmmmm….not a fan of the look of Teles (in all fairness..created in 48) either BUT really dig the Bakersfield Sound and all that Oakie (Owens, Haggard) infused CA Honky Tonk vibe…. the Tele’s sound was paramount in all that....

 

[Kriegs]

I was never a fan of the look of Teles myself, but then I picked up this ASAT one day and, for me, that laid to rest any doubt that looks and sound are related

Since we've veered off topic into 6 string territory, already, does anyone own or has anyone played one of these? I'm specifically interested in the neck and weather or not it really and truly feels like a Strat neck. Thanks in advance

Funny.

The song I keep going back to starts at 34:10, called White Gloves.

It is trippy grooves for sure. Not normally my bag but in my life right now this is EXACTLY what I need! Always good to go outside the box now and again.

And per Christina’s bass I think someone around here will be excited to see pup covers #Goneplaid

Thanks! It's a '67 I use it with my Bassbreaker 212 for guitar and my Rumble 410 for bass when I don't need the Ampeg vibe

"Blackfacing" this Vibro...hot trend..

You got some props from the crowd starting around the 3:20 mark, apparently you know the bass and are a snappy dresser

Absolutely killer tone.

Slow day today....

Here's another Behind Blue Eyes and The Real Me.

If there was one song I could ever point at that was why I became and stayed a bass player, it's The Real Me. Nicely done!

No one else touches my knobs.

Love this band! Just found out about them a few weeks ago.

We got my god-daughter one because out of the things available in the price range at GC, it was easily the best. I was not expecting a Fender acoustic to be the winner, but it's a great guitar.

I wonder how the Fender people would have reacted if someone had showed up from the future to thank them for spawning an industry in turning silverface amps back into the good stuff.
