My Blackbird does that also - the flats take the edge off, but with any kind of roundwound I've put on it, I have to put it through the low-gain amp input.....and it still pushes harder than any of my active basses.
I've been on a 70's Wishbone Ash kick lately and been listening especially to "Live Dates 2", "Live In Tokyo" and "Guildford 1980" plus selected studio tracks from essentially Laurie Wisefield years before Martin Turner was kicked out (1974-1980). What a fantastic bassist with a very unique style (like a mix of Chris Squire and John Gustafson) and a much better singer than he usually gets the credit for.
Martin isn't underrated when compared to the drummer Steve Upton. Great groove:
The very early Hamer with T-Bird pickups.

Been getting this more and more lately. Is it just me?

If you go through this thread, you will find that at least 60% of all posts are NOT about Thunderbirds.
And nobody minds.
No, just a youtube link which doesn't like to be embed it seems. I tried to edit it to a normal link but that didn't work.
Can you see the video when you click the "Watch on youtube" link?
It's Wishbone Ash playing "Lorelei" at Rockpalast 1976.

Just because it's awesome: Shocking Blue live in 1980, and listen to that bass.
Yes that works, but this kind of notice seems to be much more common of late.
Yes, I thought it was just me getting them. Seems not.
That came out fantastic! How does it sound?
I haven’t tried the CA glue type finish yet, is that what you used?
Wow gang, we’re about to roll over into 10,000 pages.

I just spotted THIS crazy thing on an auction site. I have no intention of buying it but wanted to share it with you guys.
It doesn't say who made it or what age it is but it DOES have cool hardware: A Badass II Bridge, Grover Tuners and a DiMarzio Model 1 pickup.

Nonreverse are a bit hotter than the 63-65 reverse birds, at least in my experience . As mentioned the winds were done with a timer not a very accurate way to wind. I don't know if there was a conscious decision to up the wind count on Nonreverse birds or if it was just being sloppy.
It is interesting to go to the thread tools at the top, and see that some of the members have posted 500 pages alone
I’m gonna sit back and watch the event, let the elder statesmen and stateswomen enjoy their accomplishment. I’m just along for the ride
I've got some catching up to do.
