Thunderbird Club

[Miles_ONeal]

So who is your TCT[1]? Wandering youtube for my work soundtrack, there were a number of great bass players showing up, but whenever I specifically wanted something, it always ended up being the same band with the same bass player. No surprise to at least one of us here, my BCT this week is Nikki, and specifically this song.



1. Thunderbirdist Crush Thursday

only 12lbs lighter than an svt810…

I think it's even closer that that, I believe the flat backs weighed about 135- 137 lbs, never weighed mine though but very close, the 410 feel like it weighs twice as much though.

Happy Thursday!

It's been a nice quiet day here on the home front, got an hour and 20 minute nap with my kitty, very grey and a bit chilly in Seattle - Like often!

I've not played one of those, but the Heritage is nothing like any Ampeg 410 I ever played. It's a Hog as well.

They have so much bottom you have to be very judicious with the bass control but once you get the hang of them, they sound really good. I've never played a Heritage either.

The Pr410 is rated at 128lbs!

My Yorkville is 113lbs!

Yeah the PR's are brutal but like any cab if you get used to them they're not so bad and two wheelers are very nice.

Drilled the neck pocket and put on the tuners of my five string built.

But there's a lot more that needs to happen here. I still need to round off the body edges and rout out the pickup cavity.

I wasn't quite sure what I'd do with the finish but then I got the idea of making it look like the tile floor of my mother's kitchen.

Yeah, I know I'm a big softy.

You like that B 1 5.
Don’t you.

I do, but it's also the house amp and the only one available to me.

The NR looks like a guitar!

Side dots done, maybe some wet sanding on the headstock…

How do you do those dots?

The NR looks like a guitar!

The spacing of the hangers gives a really goofy perspective, I should hang a geetar there and it would probably look like a ukulele..

sorry I couldn’t get any feets in the picture.

$4 luminescent powder from eBay.

drilled holes, filled with powder and dropped CA on top.

got a little bit left over too…

 

[dagrev]

Just depress the "brown note" button in the back...

I've had some of that angel power that made things glow. Oh, you were talking about something else, never mind.

 

[dagrev]

I love that cherry finish. Never gets old.

Greetings from California! Had to take the day off to go up to meet internet installer and a couple other service people at our new place. Having a bit of weather.

Beautiful Marshall!

 

[dagrev]

The snow looks beautiful in a photo. But when you have to shovel it, you feel the cold and damp and curse the weatherman that delivered it.

Canadians for global warming.

I second that since more people die from the cold than heat. I'm concerned about Marshall. Maybe he should reconsider that location. We're not having that nasty stuff yet.
