I actually step on a MIDI bass pedal to trigger a vibra-slap sample at the intro of that song. LOL!

My sister is friends with Mike Kurtz. I used to run into him back in the 90s when he was in Bombs Away.

Wow... at first I was a little bummed I got a black one and not a blue or white one.  But your pictures have 180'd my whole outlook.  Only 20 more days and I can lay hands on mine.
I wanted a white one..........................BAD. lol I am really happy with the black it is a nice change I have a ton of white basses.

Mike was the first guy I played with after my car accident.  Good songwriter, too.  The drummer for Bombs Away was my old drummer, John Sweeney.

I've got an audition for a band tomorrow.  This would be a second band, rather than leaving my current band.  These guys are a little more rock and current, so it could be fun.  The guitarist is someone who I've talked to about doing a project in the past.  I put some Roto RB-40 strings on the BaCHBird, and it sounds a lot meatier now.  I decided to bring it tomorrow.  Aside from just jamming and feeling things out, I get to try:

The Pretender - Foo Fighters
Gunpowder and Lead - Miranda Lambert
Man in the Box - Alice in Chains

We may even try "Celebrity Skin"

The funny thing is, not only am I not a fan of Hole (or Courtney), I'm also not a big Billy Corgan fan.  Just shows that you can get some great songs from some unlikely pairings.  That's a song that just screams "Thunderbird".  With floppy strings, and sloppy playing.  I'm in.   :mrgreen:

Sounds like fun. I've done all of those songs (except for Miranda Lambert) in my current (soon to be former) band.
