Thunderbird Club

Looks great! Seems like it could use some soft surfaces to cut down on reflections, depending how loud you get.

Thx :-).
Good point, I'll look for a rug or mat or something. Everything goes into the Zoom L-12 console, but obviously, acoustic guitars and vocals are still gonna be heard. Hadn't thought of that.. :-)
 
And just like that, Epis are second class citizens... :eek:

Back in the day, Gibson's "Only a Gibson is Good Enough" slogan prompted Epiphone (who were still independently owned) to use the slogan "Epiphone - When "Good Enough" isn't Good Enough". ;)

I made 2x4 panels for my room. It made a big difference, especially when we had full band practices in here.
Pardon the mess:

Oh I see now, for some reason thought the previous comment was for the floor.
Yep, those acoustic pannels are in the plans.

Not seeing my favorite bird of yours in the pic... ?
 
Wonderland on Wednesday.
Big Country, one of the coolest bands ever! This song is probably my fave (among many) of theirs, the late, brilliant, Stuart Adamson here and Mr. Tony Butler tearing it up on the bass, while dancing around, what an extraordinary band!

Lolll

I love the Epis I own (2 basses and 2 guitars). I recently got a Gibson Southern Jumbo J-45 and got to admit, that is an amazing guitar and sounds great plugged in or not. The Gibson 2008 Bird in my previous pic was also a jem.

Yeah I’d put a rug on the floor.
PM me if you want to details on how I built the panels.

The Blonde Bird is hanging out in the rack with the Gibsons.
