I forgot the cello and thought maybe a JC snuck in. In a huge case somehow. A blue metal flake cello would be appropriately outrageous if it is not Katbird red.NTM blue CelloBird case.

Bit of video from last night:
Thanks man!Love the bass! (Playing and tone, not just the instrument)

Anyone else in the club think that the newer bridge TB+ pickups on the T-Birds do a better burpy Jaco tone than the jazz bass does? Or am I nuts???
I walked right into that, didn't I? Lol!
Sorry, it was a slow one, right over the plate. I couldn't not swing!I walked right into that, didn't I? Lol!
I can see it. The probuckers on the VP can do it. The only trouble I have is switching quickly from a deeper tone to the bridge when I take a solo.Anyone else in the club think that the newer bridge TB+ pickups on the T-Birds do a better burpy Jaco tone than the jazz bass does? Or am I nuts???
Thanks! Yeah she is pretty dramatic sometimes and it was good to catch it on video. It helped that we had her mic cranked.That was cool. I dig the singer, she sounds like attitude dragged though gravel. I like it!
Hmm. . . If they added a 3 - way switch to the T-Bird, problem solved. Of course I'm talking blasphemy here!I can see it. The probuckers on the VP can do it. The only trouble I have is switching quickly from a deeper tone to the bridge when I take a solo.

Will I be hung, drawn and quartered, stoned or burnt on the cross.

Yes.
I'm really nailing these questions this morning. I bet I get 100 on the 'Stuff That's Kinda Thunderbird Related' test next week! If not, I can't play in the talent show and that big talent scout is gonna be there! Then, my band will never get that recording deal
On a completely, 100% unrelated note.... does anyone have the tabs to Sunshine Day? I think they used a TBird in the studio....

I did, got the body n neck of ebay, £65. The neck was good but the the body was a bit damaged so I just messed about with it and it turned out like this. The pups are from china, cost about £11 I think with free delivery.Oh no you didn't!
