I think he is more known for on ice skills than amp design...

I took my M2000 there when I bought it on eBay. It needed a few things sorted and they fixed that and did a complete check-over of it. Great amp - runs like a top.

Did you pick up that TT800 I’ve been wanting?

 

[MCF]

Well, it's not a vintage thunderbird, but it is vintage, and kinda interesting...

Up for auction and dirt cheap right now.

I’d rather have the poster.

After getting some input from here, and lurking about the Fender Rumble Club TB page, I tried the following settings...

Rumble 200 (or) 500
Vintage Voicing: off (I used to always use it)
OD: off (rarely use anyway)
Bass: 10:00
Low Mid: 1:00
High Mid: 2:00
Treble: 10:00

Epi TBird VP
Neck pup: 8
Bridge pup: 4/5
Tone: 8

Results:
Clear and punchy! Not that it was muddy before, but definitely clearer and cuts through better. Looking forward to playing w/ these changed settings (I used to be "vintage" voicing and all knobs on the amp at noon, and VP all wide open) w/ my band next week!

What REALLY rocked, was using my Rat pedal with these settings and the T-Bird tone all the way down!

Thanks for all the help and TGIF

That’s my setting too! Run it on my R100c, R200c and on my now sold R500h +2*15 Rumble cabs. Small difference on the bass, normally I run neck full and the bridge on 7 or 8 on my Orville bird. Tone I have as you.

Keeping an eye on that game, while trying to figure out why my laptop won't let the sound through the music streaming software.

This one's about the right color:

If he doesn’t reply is he really a
buddy ?

Somewhere along the line I picked up the habit of using the term buddy (instead of guy) sometimes when describing people whose name I don’t know.

Nice! Gibson should make one in that colour with chrome hardware and block inlays.

*7ender warning*

I’m putting the set of SIT Power Steels that came recently on my Precision “Special Edition Deluxe” (MIM). It’s the PJ with the J noiseless PUP that I don’t like so it has been my “P with rounds.” I’m hoping it’ll make that bass different enough so I can “justify” adding another straight P to my GAS list.

The SITs really make my ‘13 NR sound great. I played it for a couple hours last night while watching the ballgame and love the tone. We’ll see what they do for the PJ.

Yes!

Well. That is strikingly beautiful. I’m in total lust.

How would you refer to Buddy Guy?

Absolutely stunning!

Happy to add you to the club if you're not already a member.

Yea, DR Cool Blues, discontinued. Found em on Reverb. I was hesitant to go blue on blue, but figured what the hay.

Not much of a club guy, but I would join with the BirdPeople!
Here's my 97. I love the ebony boards
