I've always played Fenders / Squiers, but equally have always had a fascination for Thunderbirds (blame it on Nigel Mogg, Pete Way and Leon Wilkeson), so when this one appeared in the pre-owned stock at @Bass Direct my interest was piqued. As we were away at the time, I decided to leave it until we got home, and see if it was still available then. It was, so... 🤷♂️ It actually arrived yesterday, and I spent a pleasant afternoon swapping the strings to my preferred TI flats, tweaking the setup and intonation slightly, and trying to get used to the, erm, somewhat different ergonomics... 😂 Not had chance to run it though an amp yet, but it sounds wonderful through the Tascam bass trainer + headphones, so looking forward to giving it a proper run out at rehearsal next week. Then I just need to persuade the rest of the band to adopt a new country-goth direction...... 😎

it depends how tall it is I suppose

Thanks all. I have taken some legal advice via my insurer and also been in touch with the importer/distributor who has been quite helpful. Hopefully I can get this resolved and my lovely bass fully repaired.

Good advice about the cabs, thanks - I think you're right - two of the same makes more sense

You could go for this shape

OK a bit of a recap. on our discusion so far. This is the cab Martin wants to copy but he won't use the horn driver so we are leaving that out. I suggested that he would be better with a taller cab and putting the two 12" drivers in line to improve dispersion and the audibility on stage. Anyway this is the cab we are 'copying'

Like these that much that I've ordered a set for my Ric 4003. 45-105 because I really can't be a***d with the hassle of setting up the bridge again! Thanks for the heads up J-LP 👍

That's great, thanks for the detailed reply. But please keep me updated on how you get on as and when you play a full gig with it. -
Chunk Systems Brown Dog up for grabs, not getting the love it deserves from me. The Brown Dog enables you to produce rampaging waves of meat with your bass guitar while still keeping your basslines tight and letting the character of your instrument's tone shine through. With two fuzz modes (hard and soft), a mixing stage and a unique gating circuit the Brown Dog gives you a wide range of fuzzy and synthy bass tones Price includes UK Postage

That's my fault, I'm a details person and I just assume everyone is as fascinated as I am about loudspeakers. I'm a riot at parties 😂

Great cabs these. Should have bought a second one instead of selling the one I had because it "wasn't enough". Ended up with a 4x12 from another company which was WAY too much.... -
How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?

Nice choice of songs there. I use Money as my soundcheck as it covers all 4 strings and isn't busy and the SE can easily set things up to it. Got that tip on here somewhere. Dave -

This is just my opinion, There’s quite a lot of breakout on the fretboard probably from a bad refret, I’m on phone picks but they don’t look level either, wrong decal and knobs and 1 intonation screw is shorter , tuners and pickguard look original , the font on the neck stamp looks right to me , will have a better look later at home , I think I’ve seen this jazz up for sale before
