Thunderbird Club

Well, that means you make it sound good direct. Kudos!

This is the Mann Plexi through a PF50T direct into my Focusrite interface. Both pickups on full:

Covers?

I missed the part that is off topic for Thunderbird club...

I said kinda...

Nothing wrong with that tone

Sounds good to me. Not exactly like anything else. It is its own thing.

This is off topic, kinda, so sue me. It is also a shameless plug for my son, who will be playing at Nectar in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle tomorrow night with Orgone. They are blistering LA funk and a whole lot of fun. They are playing in Portland tonight.

So here is the punch line. He called me and asked if I would work as their merch girl! I am going to be the oldest, ugliest merch girl ever! I hope I can stay awake long enough.

LMFAO...there is no such thing as "off topic" in this thread

See, I disagree. When done right, I think they had some of the best looking muscle cars -

They just got a bad rap because they had a bad marketing department. Let's face it, people love Fender because they have/had a great marketing department. The same holds true for any industry.

The "Rebel" is mucho cool!

Shoot(sp?)! Some o' those 'land yachts' could hold a "Fridge", 2 basses, a mic stand, and a groupie, and still have room for yer beer.

T-birds do sound darker - partially because of the mahogany and partially because of the pu's. Install a couple of T-bird buckers in a Fender bass and it will sound darker.

OK, but why waste the pups? Then again, answering myself, the BL wants you to play a P. OK, a P that [almost] sounds like a 'Bird.

"JOLT" Cola!

It feels like a Les Paul guitar the way it hangs on the strap.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Possibly you've said later and I'm not there yet, but what strings are you going to try? And...when will you get to use it live?

EB Chrome flats, of course!
I used it on two songs at rehearsal tonight, will use it on at least a couple of songs Sunday- probably with the Rotosounds, simply because I'm strapped for time (I officiate a wedding Saturday, with rehearsal for that tomorrow. Not playing at the wedding; they have a DJ.)

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Braggart.

Bragging? (confused look) I definitely don't control the weather!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

As with any decade/genre of music, there was good and bad everything made then. Our job as players of music is to continue playing the good songs. I love playing well crafted pop and if done well, doggone it - people like it!

Yup. There's a reason the Spazmatics exist!

I can think of much worse things to be asked to do...

Are they, perchance, going to play at SXSW this year?

Sounds great from here!

Sure there is- anything that gets the club closed by the mod. I'm amazed (and thrilled) some days that we somehow stay open.

You mean like the one Pino played with The Who? That was pretty savvy of him to play a bass he was comfortable playing that sounded the way they wanted/expected it to sound.
