Fenderbird put to proper use

[Highlander]

Good Grief, Tom... you even "look" like JAE with that beard in the last of those pics...!

Enjoy...

Yeah, I've been getting a lot of that. Ronn Roberts advised me to avoid the Vegas Hard Rock hotel.

Ready for show #2 last Saturday. And there's the '70 Ampeg B-140 2x15 I just re-habbed to the right.

So how do you like your Fender bird?

[gearHed289]

Sounds incredible. Plays quite well. But it's a boat anchor! I don't know why Warmoth makes the bodies so thick. But whatever, people love it. Always gets compliments. It's fun to bring out once in a while.  And the TONE!:mrgreen:

They just posted a video of my little solo spot. Fenderbird sounds cool! Running direct after my Sadowsky pre and Hematoma clean boost/overdrive pedals. Hopefully most of you can see this, as it is on facebook...

Bass solo time! Nice!

[Highlander]

JAE... tapping...?!?! 

Very nice sound...

What strings are you using...?

[gearHed289]

JAE... tapping...?!?! 

I know, weird, but he did do some tapping in the later days. His solo is a bit more long-winded than mine, but you can jump to 7:47 -

Oh, the strings are Dean Markley SR2000 medium.

I see what you mean... I don't remember him doing much in the way of soloing the one time I saw him, but that was 38 years back now, and although I listen to the old stuff and have some vids from the era, not much else... cheers for the pointer... some of that was reminiscent of Clarke, imho...
