Ok. Could you hear it now? Just blasted Heros, Come and Get Your Love (pretty much same progressions) and Portions For Foxes. I’m having a ton of fun!

I did. He has that blasted amp so loud he can't can't hear a thing. Kids!
Just got a Trim-Pot version Tone Pump preamp in to install in my Spector Bird. Should help that little thing out to replace the TP Jr.. And Convert to 18 volts, if I can fit two nine volt batteries in there. And got a new set of strings to install. Just need to get around to it.
Should make that little baby a lot of fun.
And the new set of Optima 24 kt Rounds (Maxi Flex)

!!!News Flash!!!
Seismologists in Southern California are baffled by an odd new earthquake swarm in the Greater Los Angeles area. Experts agree it seems to have a bizarre 4/4 timing and lasts for several minutes at a time. Home owners in one neighborhood claim the rumbler is rearranging everything in their houses that isn't nailed down. Witnesses said the shaking started shortly after a UPS truck left the area.
In a possibly related incident, Southern California Edison is looking into strange massive power draws seemingly coming from a single home that has a Phellam Blue mail box out front with a Thunderbird logo and the initials MCF. Rewards are being offered for any information leading to the capture of any individual damaging the integrity of the SoCal power grid.

Well! Some good news for a change.
You're gonna love it, quite an improvement from the jr. I have one of the old non trim tone pumps in my Euro and it's a killer on gain but sounds so sweet I've been hesitant to flip it for the newer trim pot pump that I have in my spare parts bin. I'm sure the trim pot model sounds every bit as good if not better than mine.
I'm still lovin that guardless bird!The hell it will

Maybe someone should get hold of Gibson/Epiphone and let them know they might be able to save a few bucks on their TBird costs by eliminating the guard on the stained wood birds.
I found the TP Jr a little dull and not what I expect a Spector to sound like. The Trim-Pot version will be a nice upgrade. I may need to pick up another of these 4X some day soon.

What would be real cool would be a branding iron type Thunderbird logo burned in.
The way they usually price things, I’d expect it to be $325. That is a great deal. Wish I could justify it...
I'll bet if it was a certain shade of blue...........
thought of doing that to my 13....saw someone do it (here I think) and it looks PHENOMENAL....and if you wanna go back to normal, you just slap the original PG back on...wonder if it would affect it’s value....
Love this song! Particularly memorable for the lines “Shetland pony,extra pepperoni” and “Sittin’ here in a hired tuxedo, you wanna see my bacon torpedo”
