You guys all have nice and perfectly eligible TBirds I'm sure, mine just proves that not everything from the eighties and later is crap. A sentiment sometimes prevalent here.
I played that bass recently at a gig, swapping between songs with my natural Bicentennial. Same setting of (Marshall) rig loaned from other band ("I only play my rig!" is for guitarists and girls, real men get on with the job as long as the darn thing works!). Listening to the (not very high quality) of audio track of the video now I realize that the Korina Bird sounded more even all across the board and had more prominent sustain. The Bicentennial sounded nice, but you couldn't hear everything I played, especially the low range parts didn't cut through.
One more reason to play upper range stuff only!!! Old habits die hard.
