Reverb looks like flange sounds.

You forgot distaaaaaaawwwrrrtion -- 'sorry, didn't see your foot there puss'.

The volume on my Thunderbird pickup is either 100% or 0% -- no need to see/guess where anything is pointing. Speed knobs are the schizzzzz.

I would have said that in future should I acquire a not-Thunderbird electric bass, the type with initials J and C, I would leave the electronics stock, but maybe blutack the tone on 100% (because the damned things sometimes move even when you never touch them), thereby negating the imperative to see where it's pointing ... but I'm not going to.

Fitting, as the player himself is a legend of psychedelia. I like the blue ones.

I like 'compression'

 

[DChid]

I cannot believe that on a bass chat no one comments on Cetera!?

7500 miles away. I’ll be there in Spirit!

More like 11000 for me, but you have my moral support.

My favorite band ever. Original 7 the best. Fortunate to see them 3 or 4 times.(Hey, it was the 70s. I'm lucky to remember anything)

You must be new. This video (among others) has showed up in the past month or two. Lots of Cetera fans.

I will be at a wedding venue all day (one of our daughters of the heart). There will be awesomely played cello but no Thunderbirds. Someone needs to start selling Thundercellos.

Put a Thunderbucker 66S on a cello. VROOM!

Cellobird?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

(in response to Thundercello) Cellobird?

We need both. Competition is good.

well, that explains everything...

Or, put the neck of a cello on a thunder bird, then replace the body of the thunderbird with the body of the cello. Then, you will have spare parts that can be assembled into another thundercello/cellobird. You can have two of the rarest thundrecello/cellobird going.

Or maybe just enjoy playing a Thunderbird.

And who's fault is that? We'll just blame @JJR58

Cetera is great! Actually I just posted recently about learning Saturday in the Park. I find the bass line at the ending is awkward and @GonePlaid told me it’s written that way in the chart.

I will be playing that and 25or6to4 on my Thunderbird VP at a show in two weeks, so I better figure out how I’m going to play it...

Love Cetera. Just imagine how much better he would sound with a Thunderbird.
