The response, though typically BC was far greater than expected, and gave a lot of purdy pics. I'm with @Unknown_User, coz this is fun! As to Andy's proposal: WOW! Methinks that is a close as we're gonna get, and maybe if these existed several decades ago, this is the one I was in fact looking for even though I remember and saw it as more "rectangular". Mind you, I've been doubting myself, as many different pics of Thunderbirds give many different impressions, and also they came in a plethora of variations - with for example different placements of the bridge (dunno how they do that - I'm no specialist in these models). The thing I remember from that bass, and from what I thought I saw on the telly is exactly this character of obviously stemming from a Thunderbird but with the angles that count being closer to 90 degrees than in an original Thunderbird. Andy's Rex does that exactly - to my eyes that is. Maybe you guys provably see it as much closer to a Thunderbird, Idunno. 9 hours ago, NancyJohnson said: Rather than everyone posting photos, Bertie old boy, can you remember what you were watching? Channel etc. Yes indeed. I fully agree with you there, and I did try both before and after posting. Many of the programmes they show here in Norway can be seen online afterwards, but many can't. I've scanned what I can, but haven't found it. Should of course have made a note right away, but overestimating my memory is one of my weaknesses. If the programme was Norwegian, you wouldn't be able to see it outside Norway - hence my attempt to play it online and make a screenshot. Also, admittedly, my brain functions so unwell these days, that I might have seen an ad on my computer whilst watching tv - the bass being in the ad but my sick brain remembering it immediately as if the bass was on tv. Therefore I've trawled my papers in the hope of a possible ad appearing again. BTW, that would be Lord Bertie to you, but as you know I'm more of an Algy type. 😁 (Young uns: look it up! 🙂 ) Thanks, folks!

Some of us haven't though, so it's a good way for the likes of me to be exposed to new and interesting stuff.

BassTractor Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Thanks again, folks. As i said, @AndyTravis's July 28th proposal of a Spector USA Rex bass is as close as I think we're gonna get. It's so close that it could very well be the exact thing I was trying to find. best, bert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
