Thunderbird Club

[GBassNorth]

Looks like a Mark Bass 210...

With rat fur!

 

[BklynKen]

Is he playing a Thunderbird, or is he just happy to be on stage.

Both. What I would do to be playing out again.

going from 350 Watt to 100?

The PF350 is “350 watts” - going downhill with a tailwind

 

[kevin wells]

why do female vocalists like that song so much?...

Yep, was in a band with a female lead singer and we covered it as well

 

[dagrev]

now he shows as inactive instead of banned. Still have no idea why. I placed an order with him the other day.

That's interesting and odd. Hope it gets sorted out for Jason.

 

[dagrev]

TOTALLY agree! The VP is fantastic.

Yep. Best thing since the early 60s version.

 

[dagrev]

to think some still fall for that one..

You mean the volume of tube amps isn't more loud because the sound waves get to bounce around in the tubes before hitting the driver? Come on, transistors just can't do that.....

Although all the watts may be there, they may not be user accessible.

 

[FlyingPigSound]

I would get a custom one for a VP

Where?

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

LOL - and great watts they are!
Seriously - I've come to the conclusion that watts are not all equal. I've had amps that stated a given watt output but were much more powerful and had more headroom than other amps with higher stated watts. So there might just be something to that GK watts statement of yours. In essence GK watts might be louder than Beringher watts.

not that simple....Wattage alone doesn't really say much but amps have to be rated in something and power might as well be it. type of speaker, enclosure, preamp emphasis, bass type, cabling, pickup types and on, and on .....is what defines the perceived response of the setup not taking into account taste and bias of the user which of course, is different ball of wax...

@1kHz, as dictated by audio engineering societies such as AES or EBU, all day long and possibly more....all about specsmanship..

definitely on to something there. for a long time, modeling amp builders had a hard time accurately emulating some combos (JTM-45 comes to mind) because they were neglecting the mechanical interaction between the speaker and tubes (which would mechanically couple) in the algorithm ....yeah, try that with transistors!...

The MB200 sure seems louder than the PF-350.

Hence the term "Valves"

...If I were doing weddings and high society events I'd stay with the white guard and wear a tux, top hat and spats.

At first I thought that said, "Spurs" and wondered if you'd been talking footwear with my fellow Texans, or our queen.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

So you're incompetent? Bummer. Still, most days that beats incontinent.

We have now titled the sequel to AG's earlier movie.

An Incontinent Truth

 

[Miles_ONeal]

going from 350 Watt to 100?

Come on, you know how this works. 100 tube watts equals about 374 bazillion silicon watts!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

It's not quite a Thunderbird.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail will take your breath away.

Laughter can do that!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Geeee, if only it were a 5 string. Man , I'd be all over that

I'm sure the owner will be happy to add one. Maybe on the back of the neck?

LOL - I have a couple sets of those around the house.
