I agree. Let me know when you're finished Chuck. Check will be in the mail!

I've really got to be on the lookout for local ashdown head. I got the other one as partial payment on a trade for an SWR 350 or an Ampeg Pro 3. Kind of wish I had the SWR back as well. Never sounded great with the cabs I had at the time. Really glassy. But think they would with what I have now. The Ashdown may have been the warmest SS amps I ever played.

Ha!....Dude, your timing couldn’t be better.....

HEATHKIT!

Cool! I love those old Heathkit projects.

Stop posting pics of that bass! My wife has to slap me out of a trance every time you show it. It's like Homer Simpson and donuts.

You mean this bass? View attachment 4242963

That's not a TBird, it's a Tease Bird!

 

[RedVee]

Nice! I wonder if Vee can spare a kidney.

Nup.
It has to come down quite a bit yet for me. Or, I have a bit of luck on Lotto.

It’s actually Curtis Loew. Ed King’s tongue in cheek humor. A southern black man with a Jewish last name.

Did Bruce Springsteen cover that ?

Another Ringoism

I think any style of music can be thought of as "typical" by anyone as each style follows an accepted structured format. For me, I'll pick "metal". Metal comes in many shades and colours... and from many decades at this point. It's definitely not my favorite music to listen to, but I like many songs that are considered metal, and like when bands/artists I like/follow drift into metal for hybridization....

This is me as well. In fact, I would actually prefer country to most more modern metal (last 25 years or so), which seems more predictable than blues--which I really love. That said, I don't mean to disparage what others enjoy by any means. I appreciate the talent, it's just not for me.

You could try that whole Ned Kelly thing for extra money maybe! Roaming about with a Thunderbird may slow you down a bit.

I'll ask the group here, I'm in a 3 piece Hard Rock band, and the lead player has asked me to fill in more on some of the leads (8-9). Our favorite Floridan recommended a POG, which I'm using on 5-6 (3 different settings). I would like to add some chorus or flanger as well, both to the POG and separately. The use of effects is new to me.

Do Thunderbirds respond better to one or the other? Looking at EH Electric Mistress, BF-3, MXR Chorus Deluxe and the like.

I also play in a 3 piece and when I need to fill some space or add some color I have had good luck with the T-Rex Quint machine. It does a octave up/octave down and 5th. It also has a blend knob so you can control how much affected signal you get along with the clean signal. I

EVO in action and TT! all thrown into one....apologies for not knowing how to end....only played with this guitarist drummer combo once before......these guys don’t believe in practicing covers......at least we could crank it up this time...

For sure, I used to slag certain music/musicians but for better or worse I wouldn't be aware of it/them if it wasn't popular enough to sell en mass. I still share my opinions when such music/band/artist is brought up but try to be more objective of why they became/are what they are.

My Quint is fantastic and tracks better than any Octave device I've ever tried.

Yah, I just learned that - like "eight days a week" ... or at least he heard that from a cabbie and brought it into the band.

Nice. His voice is great for that song. Actually understood the lyrics! Nice bass playing too.

Thanks! Dude can sing ANYTHING...we’ll pick a song on the fly that he’s never sang before and he looks up the lyrics on his iPad and away he goes....crazy..he has a Frank Sinatra big band he gigs with as well and they play some top venues...great guy.

There is a country/rockabilly band here and the bass-player was* like that. He could sing Willie, Merle, Ray Price - just about any classic country song. During the break I asked he sang a certain early '60s Willie song "Hello Walls" - he said not for a while. When they got back on the stage, he looked up the lyrics on his iPad and they played it like it was Willie himself! Totally pro. Love the way the bass sounds on this recording.
