Thunderbird Club

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???

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....
 
Yes.

Jethro Tull looks very different here. Different arrangement of the song, too.
 
By the way, what replacement pickups are those?
Oh no you didn't!
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.
