Also hoping they don't get us shut down again! Where's that eye gouger
Very cool Tbird!
Eppi birds are every bit as much a Tbird as Gibson Tbirds. They all bring something unique to the table and the Eppi birds are such a great bargain right now. I love the knobs you put on that, tell us more about those.
LOL - I’d just be tickled pink to have a few good bass players run it through its paces and get back to me on what tone changes they’d make if it were theirs.
@BklynKen After having the SIT Powersteels on the '06 for a while, I put LaBella black tapes on it, partially because they look good, but they do sound good as well. I put the SITs on my '71 Jazz and got to use it today. Sounded great! And, I've only found one string on that bass that I liked much (GHS Precision flats), but the SITs will be on that for some time to come. Big and punchy. 
Great news! I just put a new set on my Thunderbird about an hour ago. Gig on March 5.@BklynKen After having the SIT Powersteels on the '06 for a while, I put LaBella black tapes on it, partially because they look good, but they do sound good as well.

It is. I was really enjoying the tone as we played today. Has me thinking what else might benefit from the SITs.
Great to hear about the gig!

No-one said anything about it being a costume party... except maybe V...

When I was a kid I went to the local movie theater to see "Day of the Triffids" and each kid was handed a small pack of salted sunflower seeds packaged as "Triffid Seeds" -
We were pre-teens but we still knew they were only sun-flower seeds!

Oh the humanity!
Nita Strauss... I know she's played that for several events. Someone's bad recording. Vol needs to be way up to hear.

It's come as you are, for me, that'll be wearing a dress of some kind - I'll have a '76, it'll need one of Chucky's big amps to sound good.
