If the weather was nicer I’d take a matching Monday car pic.

Nice.

Can I call this the Thunderboat ?

Currently drying off in front of the fire.

Sounds amazing too if you were wondering.

Just waiting for your review.

It wants to be played through your big amp - just sayin'.

And I want to! But I didn’t have the house to myself

I think that would be OK if you were to take your finger off the lens...

Play loud enough and you will not hear any complaints.

Ehhh, what's 20 minutes. I think you'll find a '76 to be a bit different Thunderbird.

It’s a Bicentennial Bird through an original B18... sounds phenomenal!
Sorry I’m not @Gaolee and can’t give a... colourful review

I'm guessing that's an amazing sound. Lower volume than the ACC, but just as present.

I think it's fantastic that you got that one from Carlo. It stayed in the family and has a good new home. Unlike some of the rest of us, you can play it for the next 50 years.

This is only intended to make playing at home easier. For live use I wouldn't trust it. I'd use a cable. KISS.

KISS is why I don't use a cable. Tripping hazards mean I'm going to forget, jump around, and get all tangled up. Not that it has ever happened...

Love the basses (white!). Love the Ampeg. Love the Mopar pics as well. I think that's what they are.

How would you describe and contrast the tonal characteristics of each Thunderbird?

KISS is why I wear make-up!

Glad he’s not near me. We’ve had our fill of earthquakes recently.

I was too busy playing the 77 to plug in the other ones

And yes, they’re Mopar paintings, all 3 in the set.

I got these wireless thing instead of the more common paddle-looking ones because it operates at 5.8 GHz instead of 2.4. I figure less chance of interference, plus it has a longer range. Worked right out of the box. Pretty impressive. Only thing I don't like is that the on/off switches are really vague with very little travel. But probably not worth exchanging for another set.

I’m waiting for the Tbird shaped model.

Some don't care for the 70s versions. I think my '76 sounds great. Not as great or maybe a different flavor of great than the VP and the '64 (my gold standard).
