    Well after my initial uncertainty I quickly became enamoured with the Thunderbird. So enamoured that I got a bit silly and ordered some more, realised I didn't need three and put one up for sale. I can't stop playing them, such a thick growly tone. They aren't subtle or refined. And they really respond to pickstyle too, it really kicks up the aggro a few notches. With my current setup, I am very pleased indeed - I can easily achieve the Cheap Trick / Wishbone Ash tone. I have ordered some replacement Gotoh tuners however - the current ones are fine but don't look quite right. The old-fashioned long stem tuners should finish it off nicely.

    Why did you take the raiser off?

    That colour's amazing. What do all the knobs and switches do?

    I've only had this a few weeks but became so enamoured of it that I bought a few more! I don't need them all so this one's up for sale. It's in as-new condition apart from the plastic stickers being peeled off the pickups and scratchplate and has only been played at home. It's a very growly, aggressive bass, and sounds just like the 60s Gibsons. Comes with the Epiphone hard case that was also purchased new. Collection from Dartford preferred or could meet somewhere mutually convenient. Can ship at buyer's expense.

    And what a sound he made!

    Don't forget Roger Glover, and Andy Fraser! As for Entwistle, although he was a key figure in Marshall's development (along with Townshend), he didn't actually use them for long. He soon moved on to Sound City/Hiwatts. Agreed. There simply wasn't a lot of choice back then, if you wanted to be heard!

    As daft as it sounds, a lot of Quo. Requires a lot of stamina to play it properly.

    So beautiful!

    This has also been my experience. Even on the posher ones.

    So they painted around the logos?
  11. Cosmo Valdemar
    What's happening with the body and headstock logo? Are they original?

    Nice! Where are you?
  13. Cosmo Valdemar
    Interesting! Can you vary the crossover point or is it pre-set?

    How odd. I stumbled upon that video the other day. He's a monster player without a doubt, but I've never been fond of his tone. Sounds like Kermit on a trampoline.

    Excellent!

    Ordered! Thank you very much. Does anyone know if I'll be charged now or when they deliver it? It wasn't clear on Amazon...

    A gift from a friend who doesn't use it anymore. I hate to use this word, but it's lush. I'm over the moon with it! The joy of flange.

    Freekbass?

    I've only ever had bad experiences at the Gallery - too numerous to list here, and enough to have left me happy to never visit there again - but I must say it is extremely pleasing to see them reaching out to the community in this way, and is a refreshingly friendly manner. A personable approach goes a long way. Welcome Charlie, and thank you for the introduction. I'll be sure to pop in next time I'm in the area!

    Didn't she used to play for Kill II This? I loooved her back in the day...

    Talking of Kiss, Lou Reed co-wrote A World Without Heroes on the infamous Elder album, and Bryan Adams contributed to Creatures Of The Night.

    Just bought a trio of pedals from Quilly, they arrived quickly and stunningly wrapped in the biggest bubble wrap I've ever seen. Great stuff!

    Creepy. Like music of ghosts.

    It's tempting! All the best Thunderbirds have had neck repairs don't you know 😂
