Thunderbird Club

[dagrev]

Update-kinda: Put on the EBCF's E, A, and D(100, 80, 65)but kept the G(50)from the previous set. I know it's only .005 difference, but-to my questionable ears-it sounds 'richer' than a 45, which I think sounds 'thin'. Anyhoo, got 'em on and tuned and the 'Bird is singing again. I liked the 50-105's when they were knew in Feb., but they'd become lifeless. As much as I prefer an old school 'thump', they'd become more of a 'thud'.

I tend to like a bigger G as well. Some sets are just not well balanced. GHS has worked on a couple sets that are balanced in tone and feel (as well as others). And at times some Es sound pretty different than the upper strings. One thing I like about String Joy is you can customize a set however you like when ordering and there's no extra cost. You can even calculate the tension.

It's because the bass dude is real goooood!

I'd hate to have to carry my own kit up there to set up!

From the size and dimensions on the box I'd say you bought a detached VP headstock. Buying Thunderbirds one piece at a time now are you?

But apparently something even less good....

I’m going to guess at a Black Widow…hopefully a speaker

Well, it doesn’t go in the kitchen, living room, dining room, bedrooms, attic or garage - so about the only place left is inside a Peavey Bass Cab. Must be a new speaker.

I recently got a vintage bass in a similar box.

Until we observe, the contents of the box could be alive or not alive. Schrodinger's Box.

Well, technically it's your box, unless you have a cat.

is there a hole in the box?

I gave up my CDL ~10 years ago.

That doesn't mean that you can't drive your rig. It only means that you can't get pulled over while driving your rig...

That doesn't mean he can't get pulled over while driving his rig...
It just means bad things are likely to happen if he gets pulled over while driving his rig.
Assuming he still had a rig, which AFAIK he does not.

I think you got ripped off. I don't see a bass in there.

1970 Czech Jolana Kolorbas - with added original artwork by Chelyabinsk artist Elena Konovalova - that box somehow got it here from Russia w/o harm. (neck removed) Took 2 months.

Of course not silly. Headstocks don't need to breath. Neither to Ritz crackers. Wazamatterwityou?

It clearly is cool, but how does it sound now that you've had time to get it right?

A whole hole or half a whole?

There's another way to buy them?

I have two, actually. They take turns over which one is in the box

Here's a (maybe too much) hint......
