Now that right there is funny!

Wishing all our Bird brethren around the world a Very Happy New Year filled with love, health, wealth and more Tbirds than you had yesterday.
As for 2021…

I run power conditioners on everything these days. I found the Furman SS-6B will block noise from LEDs, so I just bring at least one for all the audio gear whenever I play out. I also have a Furman AC-215A that I have started using for my amp.

That's interesting and good to know.

can’t be too careful with F Basses..you never know what you are gonna catch.

Wait a minute... An F Bass is a different beast (and local to me).

I think you mean a 7 bass. Or is it properly Fender by Squier?

Have a safe and hopefully better New Year!

Oh my! Could have said, "Sorry dude, no VD results no mouth close to my mic..."
I'm pretty sure those results might be positive as well....

I know I'm just crashing the party here with an entirely unrelated d subject... But this, for me, is pretty unexpected and huge: I've just committed to the purchase of a Fender Bassman 300 Pro tube amp. It's a 300-watt head, switchable to 8/4/2 ohms, and modded with an extra "filament transformer", to keep the main transformer from overheating because of the six Tung Sol KT-120 power tubes, which draw more than the amp is originally spec'd for. That's a bigger tube than you generally find in this (small building of an) amplifier.
And it's as large and heavy as a big dog.
So there you go, seek and ye shall find. This just sort of worked out.
My Epi Thunderbird Classic Pro is going to be stupid-sick plowing through this horrifying forest of high-power glass and iron (into a Bag End loaded SWR Big Ben, I'll probably be looking for another)... I'm sure I'll pay, karmically, for it somehow. I just hope it's a spectacular, fiery end, lol.

Ok, thanks, please carry on...

Wow! Congratulations! Pictures to be posted on a Tubesday...

 

[PillO]

I am so the j word. Congratulations!

Jazz??

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and thank everyone for another year enjoying all the normal people on this thread. OK, I'm not fooling anyone with that last part, but have greatly enjoyed another year spending time with some of the best people on earth (and beyond for Jeff? ). Y'all without a doubt make life better.

Be safe if you go out. It's amateur night!

 

[PillO]

Happy New Year!!

There will be! And I'll see how easy it is to post a few off-the-cuff sound clips, I've got an old Zoom room recorder here.

Jalapen~o. So keep those hands away from anything with extra nerve endings.

It'll be a mission.
This is a big deal in my head, lol

Everyone else is trading fridges and anvils for overgrown transistor radios, and you go for the 2001 Monolith and a massive plutonium paperweight. My kinda guy.

No affiliation, but have to admit this could be interesting if a person could get it for the right price. I like the concept anyway.

If you ain't swimming against the current somewhere, you ain't living!
(Besides, that paper's not going to hold itself down...)

ya don’t see close to $750 there not even with a neck.

Optional woven strap is a bit pricey at $40 "regularly $60"... I've bought some very nice ones for 1/2 that (and have thrown in more expensive quality leather straps to "sweeten the deal" selling my custom basses)
