Thunderbird Club

[TBird1958]

It's Thursday, Burny Thunderbird. One of my fave live shots, it was taken while we were playing the song in the video below, the photographer, Ms. Peacock is across the stage in the silver dress.

I thought Dragon Skin were coated like Elixirs, and the colored ones were just colored.

That would seem to be the case from the description from DR. On TB and a few other places, even one string retailer, it was indicated the underlying string itself was different. This does not a chord with what DR said about both strings.

Material: K3 Black Stainless Steel. Round Core Wire....
Material: K3 Clear Coated Stainless Steel. Round Core Wire....

Yet they feel pretty different. I'm not sure I would know the dragon skins are coated if I weren't told. Not terribly important, I was just curious. Especially given one string retailer that we all know of seems to have incorrect information.

I would rather listen to a live album than studio any day. My live albums are all in my favorites section.

This.

For anyone looking for a Thunderbird that's been stretched on the rack, AMS has them on closeout. Nota big discount, but if they're going away..

I have his solo album. I’ll have to give it a spin.

Big lots here. I'd need an SVT or equivalent on the porch to make the neighbors notice.

I recall hearing that many "live" albums from that era captured just the drums (or just the kick) and the crowd and then in the studio they put in the other instruments to ensure a good take.

I never heard that, just that some of them had parts overdubbed. I prefer the raw concert.

I always like to share with my neighbours...

Quick question on the pedal board... Shouldn't the high-pass go after the Quint?

Wouldn't putting the HPF after the Quint [mostly] undo the Quint of you octave down?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I would be interested to hear what you think of the two configurations as I do not currently use a HPF, but have thoughts about adding one.

Do you have a Quint or equivalent?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

WRT DR Strings. IIRC, they are in New Jersey. Has NJ opened up for manufacturing? Possible that there is noone there?
...

I would hope they'd have someone handling customer service communications...

The string retailer that we all know of and of whom you speak has gone radio silent on me. Have no idea why. This pandemic thing is sure causing issues. In the overall scheme of things, a small string order is no big deal. There are way more important concerns. I just pray people are ok.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I put the Broughton high/lo-pass right after the wireless receiver. That way, whatever I do to the signal afterwards is already cleaned up. And if I use an octaver, it doesn't get stripped out if I'm using sub-octaves. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I do have octave down. On low notes, there is a definite rumble; the sort of thing a HPF is supposed to clean up.

 

[StephnG]

Yeah I always dug that"Wal tone" too but there was just something about the "Moving Pictures" tone that set it apart from anything else either studio or live, never heard anything like it again.. ALWAYS my fav...

A little "Wal Tone" for my Good Bro's

I don't know, and that is why I asked. Just logicing my way through.

Geeze. Can’t keep up with the days anymore.

Don't do that logicing thing. It is a bad thing to do. That's what I did, and see where it gets us? On different paths. Stick to Thunderbirds, watermelons, and just kinda doing something.

I wonder if there are multiple reasons for using a HPF and that changes where the HPF goes in the signal chain. But there I go logicing again...
