I've heard that so many times decades ago, there's no chance of getting that out of my head.

I’m not certain where I want to go with this one…

I’m almost exclusively EB extra slinky roundworms on most of my fretless.

and either cobalt or pyramids flats on my fretted.

I do have a fretted 5 string Ric with EB roundworms, and I am kinda liking it. (5 string flat set I like would be too much trubble)

In the pics it looks like it has some kind of roundworms on it, I’ll give them the usual 20 minutes of play time before I decide to strip them off.. maybe if they are not grungy or too fat I’ll attempt to keep them.

We all like what we like, but there are some wonderful options out there to limit to just very few brands. I think I only have two sets of basses than have them same string (2 have GHS Pressurewounds and 2 have GHS Precision Flats). Everything else I match what I like to each bass in search of the best match for me.

Not sure if you need Instagram to see this, but I noticed there’s a bit of footage with my VP from a block party I played in September. (I’ve left this band)

The figuring on the back neck blanks pulled me in. Couldn't resist, especially at the price I offered.

Nice! Can't go wrong with VPs if you want that original Thunderbird sound without the cost. The grain of every VP I've seen looks great.

 

[dagrev]

Yeah, something like THAT!

Thanks Donnie!

Nice! Was that a stock item?

Seems I'm late to answering , but yes, they were

When I first heard this I thought that Shari Lewis was a maniacal genius; get kids to endlessly repeat an annoying song - brilliant!

Wow. I’d seen maybe 3/4 of that, but it’s been a while for much of that. Thanks again!
Hurts to watch. I wanted to be a Monkee. Or at least meet them.

Just snagged a thunderbird vintage pro on reverb for a steal. Eager to compare to my classic pro. This one is classic burst. Will keep posted.

Great addition! Congrats. With the Tbird + pickups and the VP Pickups, you’ve got a lot of tone in those two.

Is the neighborhood prepared? A 360 is not so much loud as hugely present.

They’ll just think it’s an earthquake

 

[MCF]

Wow. And in color even.

I spent some time the day after that cleaning and drying my gear.

A good live recording here, lots of Thunderbird, courtesy of Mr. Sixx.

Helps get your butt moving on a cold gray Monday in Seattle.

Agreed. That's a huge tonal range. Everything from tectonic plate vibration to rip your face off, nevermind slow dancing with your love.
