I watched most of Guitar Legends: Hero of Tone on Amazon Prime. Not bad. If I'm not mistaken, at about 40 minutes in, behind the Everly Brothers the bassist was playing a NR Thunderbird and the guitarist a Firebird.

As long as we are on fruity beer...

Anyone ever try this one?

I tried it out of curiosity once. And then had it again on purpose several more times. I really does taste of banana and beer. And it is really unexpectedly good.

No but Staropramen has a banana aroma.

Alice is one busy septuagenarian! In the last number of years, he seems to have been spending some time paying homage to where his music comes from. The song choice and guests look interesting. I'll certainly be giving it a listen!

Interesting path from glam/shock rocker to elder statesman of rock.

I always loved this photo.

He played DTE Energy Music Theater, formally Pine Knob, in Clarkston, MI. over the weekend with Halestorm in support. I heard it was very good.

Pineapple seems to be the hot beer/fruit combination this summer. Both beers we enjoyed yesterday had some pineapple. I particularly like the coconut finish with the hops and robbers.

I wish i could remember the beer exactly, but i had this Staten Island Blood Orange IPA.
Everything about it was perfect, wasn't over bearing in the flavor department.
Gonna have to go back to the bar that serves it.

I played a J yesterday. It didn't sound that great to me.

I’ve got a couple of nice ones, yet I still struggle at times to get what I want out of them. When I hit the right combination of the VVT I get there, but I can’t always readily find that combo. Plus, it seems the pup outputs are on the lower side as compared to most other basses I own.

Mine are both sig models, US Geddy and an Adam Clayton. Super quality builds, but take a bit of effort to sound fab.

Heathen!

I'm pretty sure a body part is going to fall off of you as a consequence

No doubt. I'm a little concerned about which body part, too.

I like the sound of a P, but after playing Thunderbirds as much as I have over the past few years, they sound a little one dimensional. They don't have the inky blackness to the sound or the electric blue around the edges. Thunderbirds can get the maroon P sound, but a P can't get the dark blue-green sound that a Thunderbird can get.

Eh........... At my age it'd just be one less thing to worry about.




Sweet Senility.

You have two of everything you really need. One brain. What's that tell you?

I want to like the J sound/ voice/ tone but it just sounds too anemic to my ears. I like the effect that a single coil adds to a P bass, especially when they are MFD pups and are installed in this platform

I’m slowly getting there. I’m still bouncing strings on the Thunderbird, and I’ll do an update on that later, but still bring a P with flats as my backup/ crutch. Js seem to be spending more time at home.

I liked the P sound enough that I built a Fenderbird that's a P in all but shape. At this point, it's nice to have, but I play the Thunderbirds. The last time the Fenderbird came out, it sounded a little thin.

When my Dad would see an unintentional finish approaching this look, he would always say: "I wonder what kind of wax he uses." When I see something like that I always think of him.

My buddy just got his car sealed to preserve the look:

Is that all natural wear or manually distressed.
I love 60s cars.

'Like' your post; don't like the "roadworn" look on cars-either.
