Polydactyl??
They were blank? Dayum! Wuttinahell was I drinking!So you are seeing things in those blank pics now?
I think I credited @alanloomis1980
Of course. Everybody in the room with the best albums and stereo. For awhile in the 70's, I had a component system* pumping into 2 Altec VOT's in my 'tornado magnet'. The trailer would distort way b4 the speakers.
*AR TT, Akai dual cassette deck, dynaco preamp, (?)tuner, (?) amp-it was a loooong time ago

Depends on the room. Sometimes a little too boomy with it on. Other times I need it to fill the room. Especially if I'm not using the THUNDERBIRD.
Your Thunderbird has no shoes? BUY IT SOME, YOU FIEND!

Yeah, that's a superpower.

The best looking Sunburst I ever saw was on a G&L JB2 (I think it was called) I had. It was really beautiful and I don't like SB finishes. Too much yellow for me. Do love 2 Tone bursts!
Spent time tweaking my Thunderbird sound through a Roland HS-5 Session mixer yesterday, planning to use the HS-5 for a FaceBook Live acoustic thing to replace a couple of shows we recently cancelled. She sounds beautiful.
But one thing I can't seem to work around is that when plugging the HS-5 directly in the lap-top, I get the usual stellar sound quality during recording and playback....except for one thing: during playback, I always get a brief sound cut-off about 1 minute into the recording. After that, no issue. But I ALWAYS get that cut off at each session I open on FB live.
I posted a thread in the Live Sound Forum, but wondered if anyone here experienced that issue ?

I love this! Which bass?
I remember road tripping to Texas because there wasn’t an open container law. Yep, Young and dumb.
Worked on the VP setup and played a while last night. Down to
E: 7/32” (5.5mm)
G: 1/8” (3.2mm)
Much better. I may drop the E a bit more, but my pinky is a lot happier stretching for notes higher up the E.

Like most of us, I have a lot of time to kill lately. With that in mind, SW(no affiliation)posted a notice/demo in my email that Tech21 has a new 'Steve Harris' pedal. Nothing I can use, but fairly interesting to get his sound, if that fits what yer doing.
Freshman year my assigned roommate couldn’t cut it and had to withdraw pretty early on. So had my own room. I had all the albums so my room basically became the suite living room. I’m so glad we didn’t have cell phones with cameras back then.
Lets hear about your first thunderbird experiences !!!
Late 70's a friend let me hold a bicentennial while he was going through some issues. I didn't gig with it for fear of damage but I found it very interesting while noodling. I tried to buy it but he wasn't having it. Early 2000's I paid about 400 bux for a Korean Epi. Beautiful fit and finish. I ended up upgrading the PUPs. I remember auditioning for a Steely Dan tribute band with it and getting some odd looks from the other candidates. I got the call, BTW but decided the ride was farther than I had realized. Finally got a Gibson in 2007 and four more over the years.
