I enjoy Andertons vids. I wish we had a store like that near me. But this was in my notifications.

My question is, and no offense intended, just trying to understand.

Question for those in the club who use a high pass/low pass filter on a pedal board: Where do you place it in the chain and why? Thanks!

Just saw this - I have a BBE Sonic Stomp and it is last in line before the amp.

Can't we just stick a sustainiac in it?

hummm... wouldn't do that to a bass of mine.

On a non-thunderbird note, Netflix has a new documentary on ZZ Top. Well worth the 90 minute investment.

Looking at it, thx

It has been years now....but I thought that writing this 'Lil 'Ole song would be the best way to communicate something that was long overdue. I played all the parts on keyboard and I ain't no singer but I think I may need to learn the bassline on the bird soon. I shouldn't write any checks with my keyboard that my thunderbird can't cash !

Nice - brings to mind "Another Green World" by Brian Eno

Have you ever had a bass that didn’t sustain enough?

A bass with flats and a foam pad under the strings at the bridge?

Nels --- nice light backdrop --- bass player usuually plays a P-style Lakland, interesting to see a J.

My comment was actually a Bloom County reference.

My comment was about a baked product. Bloom County????

Evil!

Just an observation re sustain: When I switched out the three point from the new to me 2012/2013 NR and installed the Babicz, sustain increased enough that I noticed it. But it makes no difference to the stuff I play. I only did it because I “feel better” about having a more “stable” appearing bridge on it. That’s just me. I fully understand others feel differently and it’s all good.

That's what I notice with the Hipshot - slightly more sustain. The adjustability is far superior though.

I will now be calling people snorkel-heads!

I was thinking that people who don't like Thunderbirds and just plain old pedestrian poopie-heads.

Miles said something about BillyBoingers.

I saw then in their early prime in Dayton Ohio, where Kim Deal grew up. Her midwest parents were back stage. I was with a local collage DJ so we had backstage passes. I watched Kim the whole show and focused on her unique basslines.

Yep I’ve got a bass like that. I totally forgot about the foam until I took the bridge cover off

I've used a foam pad in the past, but I just palm-mute now - leaves more options.
