    Ooh!

    Gah! My favourite P bass finish. I really regret not buying one when I had the chance.

    I went for the white one. It had to be. I do wish it was a bit creamier, but it is off-white, being a darker shade than the scratchplate. I've just purchased an ebony tug bar and some Gotoh long stem tuners as the Wilkinson ones on at the moment don't quite look the part. They work perfectly well though. Pics to follow when they're on!

    Crazy talk I know, but might it be possible for me to jump aboard?

    Come and try mine mate, you'd love it

    Thomann have them for £523. Only Ebony left in stock though.

    Status Graphite something 😁

    A great example of the tone:

    Strange. I do think £599 is still a good price though. Lucky I got in early!

    Pete is now the (hopefully) happy new owner of my Tritonlab FET Overdrive pedal. Great chap to deal with, would happily do so again!
  11. Cosmo Valdemar
    Fair enough!

    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?
  14. Cosmo Valdemar
    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.
  19. Cosmo Valdemar
    So beautiful!
  20. Cosmo Valdemar
    This has also been my experience. Even on the posher ones.

    So they painted around the logos?
  22. Cosmo Valdemar
    What's happening with the body and headstock logo? Are they original?
  23. Cosmo Valdemar
    Nice! Where are you?
  24. Cosmo Valdemar
    Interesting! Can you vary the crossover point or is it pre-set?
  25. Cosmo Valdemar
    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.
