Now why did you go and tell him that? He'll worry about that now. And I totally get it. I'm pretty OCD with my basses too.

Some more Non Reverse fun, I do a bit of explanation after the song, feel free to FF through my pedestrian playing
Awesome! And same playing position as mine, anchored off the bridge pickup.
Really fun bass line. What song was that?

Nice Vid! I sure hope mine gets here sometime soon.

Awesome V!!!!
Me personally. I can't sweat the small stuff if the bass intonates and plays well.
Otherwise I'd never enjoy it.
All mine have their quirks.
So be it.

That's "In a Room without a view" by The Smithereens, I love, love, love, that band! Bassist Mike Mesaros is really good, totally solid and creative with his lines, fun stuff to learn, all tuned to E flat.

I've really got to stop watching vids and pics of NRs. This could get costly at some point.....
Great clip. Thanks!
I got tired of you people bragging about your NRs, so I made my own NR Reverse. So there. Got to get better PUs.
Well at least your threw in a glimpse of the Ashdown to help console. Oh, wait...I don't have one of those either....

I have seen this picture many times and only now it occurs to me: most thunderbirds come with a white pick guard. It is only limited cases that come with black, yet 4 of your 7 have black pick guards.
Actually the gold bird, the Goth and the white Greco all came stock with black guards, the 2015 bird is sporting an after market black guard.

It's not Thunderbird Thursday anymore
but I decided to swap the Nexus strings back onto the Blackbird; this meant, of course, I had to play it for a bit... then decided it was a great time to play with some of the camera effects on my phone 
Instead of going to bed at the proper time
So, I figured, why not have Black Friday a few months early?

'Bird Noir. It's a new genre.

So due to a couple of factors, I've nixed the plan for nickel hardware on the new black Thunderbird. Keeping it black. And unless Steve can do black Thunderbucker covers, I'll likely go with black chrome Lollars.

It's just the photo. Looks fine in person.
I've only heard YouTube video of Lollars (who also appears t be a good guy) but I think they should be good. I'm toying with the idea of putting a set in my Goth.
@dukeorock has both. I get the feeling the Thunderbuckers and Lollars are close enough that with a little EQ you couldn't tell the difference. Especially in a mix. But I like Steve and would rather support him.
Yeah. Thunderbucker seems to be such a niche one-man operation that you like to support people like that whenever you can. Lollar while not a big company, certainly has a lot more volume with all the pickups he does. It's a good time to be a bass player. Lot's of good choices.
