I don't know why those Hartke cab grills always look gross like that. GK heads sound great through them, though.started the Cray tribute rehearsals today...

BREAKING NEWS: KARA LIKES RED BASSES(film at 11).Red & Chrome is my favorite Thunderbird color!
Wow. That’s a nice price. I think you should make the drive over and get it.Hey guys, found a Gibson Thunderbird for sale (obviously, not mine) on CL in the Bay Area (Fremont) - a red one!
Figured I'd share here in case one of you might be interested & hadn't seen it

Le carte plastique?I'd grab it (assuming, of course, it's as claimed) if I could squeeze my budget enough, but not possible atm
But hopefully someone here can
Tempting, but I still am fighting a chronic case of Italian disease: Mufunzalo.
Who knew?Red & Chrome is my favorite Thunderbird color!
Edit: I see Plaid got there already. He never lets a good opportunity go to waste!

Had not thought of that. Maybe you're onto something there.
the “Garden of Eden”....quick! get the tubes!...(not vacuum)...
That's a heck of a deal on a 2012 Gibby and a relatively rare finish to boot. You need to jump on this Kara, even if it requires selling a bass or two after the fact to reimburse the budget. I haven't seen one of these go for less than $1500 in years.Hey guys, found a Gibson Thunderbird for sale (obviously, not mine

Agreed. That’s way too cool to let it get away.

Two things to report. On my ‘02 Gibson ‘Bird w/ Lollars and through my rig, I do not like D’Addario Chromes one bit. Did two gigs and it’s not like they suck, but it ain’t right. I have a buddy who runs Chromes on a P bass and through his rig they sound awesome. Oh well!
The other thing is I grabbed that Greco today. It’s the one in the middle
Nice bass, I think. Neck is a bit chunkier than the Gibson, but not as chunky the Cataldo. Oddly, the thing I like least about it is someone put a Gibson truss rod cover on it. I’m fine with it not being a Gibson!

yeah although possible for something like that to happen, a preamp would have to heat to a level that batteries could not sustain especially if it ran fine for a good amount of time....it would also be all over the internet as the manufacturer is liable for hazardous product......batteries, cabling or grid would be my guess...could also be RF interference if he's going wireless...

Thanks Chuck. He's not going wireless and nothing has changed is what he's using all the way through to the PA speakers, or anything in the building for that matter. Not that something can't develop. That is only does it after everything has been on a while adds to the confusion.
