I take exception with the EQ labeling. Bass and treble are self-explanatory. However, with lo-mid and hi-mid, shouldn't the one in the middle be mid-mid?
Yes, and is why I use the term when not describing lo-mids or hi-mids. It's only logical. I don't slap so I never need to use the term hi-hi. And it just sounds silly.;)
 
You have chosen....

...poorly :crying:

:roflmao:


Good guess, but what it really is....

I've been wanting one of these for a while, put in the order at the same time as the Peavey amp, but were still on backorder.

Now just waiting for Santa to bring me the "required, not included" 18v power supply :wideyed:

...or me, when I make a decision.
(Spoiler alert: Santa ain't real :( :crying: :( :crying: )
Well, I should think with that, your new amp and finishing up the projects, you’ll be having some fun in the new yew. Congrats!
 
Happy Thunderbird Thursday!
Here’s another of the many pics Mike took of the shortie as he was packing it for the journey.

Tonight was Yo La Tengo's Hanukkah show. They usually do all eight nights, but this year they did one virtual show. Not quite as great as seeing them live, but better than nothing. Most interesting thing to me was that James McNew, their bassist, was playing a Thunderbird. 2019, I figure, due to the incongruous chrome hardware with black pickups. Why that's interesting to me is that I've been seeing them live since the mid-'90s and as long as I can remember, he's always played an old Fender Jazz. I'm curious if he's been talking to Geddy Lee.

Wow those are some nice Schroeder cabs. I've been really curious about those recently. I really don't know anything about the brand but they seem nice and don't get as much mention around TB as some other brands.
