Decided I should have a new Redbird pic for this fabulous? mid-month Thunderbird Thursday :)

mostly because I like the color.
partly because I put new? strings on....

(of course, it would look much better if I could take good pics :unsure: )







(or used a camera, instead of a phone....)

(...now if I could just find the speakers.... wonder if I can use the headphone jack w/a Bluetooth transceiver to my newer wireless speakers :thumbsdown: )

Please try them on the same bass you've had the Power Steels on so you can compare!

Yep! Taking the ‘02 Gibson again :)

I forgot NAAM was going on in Nashville this week. I hung out with my MXR/Dunlop rep and he’s sending me a couple boxes of strings for the tour. It’s an assortment pack of MM Super Brights, Regular Super Brights and a few sets of flats. That’s one less thing to worry about!
At our gig last night, we were approached by Yamaha and Ampeg about working with them, but I can’t really think of anything I’d want from either company off the top of my head. There is a chance I may be able to get a deal with Gibson, which would be nice :)

Yes, I do think you'll like them, for that specific bass they sound really good to my ear - Just today I took the SITs off my Greco and put some KS's on, the SIT's are really cool, but that single pickup makes A LOT of bass and lo -mid, so do the SITs and it's a bit much.
The SITs went onto my '89 Gibson that has Lull pickups, sounds freaking amazing, wished I tried them a long time ago.

The Sun finally came out and melted the heavy clouds that came in off the Pacific last night......

Thursday it is!

I'd like to try a Billy Sheehan Attitude bass some day.
