Who would ever connect the Thunderbird with English novelty act Freddie and The Dreamers? I wouldn't, for sure. Anyway, there is this here connection. Peter Birrell on bass changed basses several times during The Dreamers careeer. And he had taste, if not dancing, but for basses. As is showed in this remarkable video from annu dazumal.

Great playing and great sound as always Mark!
How many birds do you bring to a typical gig and how do you pick which ones?

Looks like an SWR 6x10 cab in the back, what's the head?
 

 I actually had 4 basses with me for this show, I wanted to play a different one each set. Started the night with the '64 for the first, an Epi VP that has new Gibson pickups for the second, about halfway thru our singer fell down, in doing so, she tried to catch herself and ended up breaking her wrist, she didn't know it at the time and just kept on going. She iced a growing lump and we played the last set, I used the BaCH II that has a Lull pickup. Singer went to the Emergency Room after the show! I'm currently using an old low s/n SWR 6x10 and a Trace Elliott GP7-250, a step down in watts from my old GK, but I really like it because I have to turn it up and get it working a little harder and it just sounds a lot better. I also have a 250watt SWR amp that I use with sometimes as well. My old GK stuff is all gone now.

Thanks for that. I'm Telling You Now was a great pop love song and Freddie Garrity had a really nice voice. Unfortunately he ruined things with his stage antics.

The old GK RB series were great amps. And we’re just about indestructible.

Love that bass line...and I think a simple, powerful bass line is one of the great things about playing bass!

Nice dynamics, too.

 That's the first time I've taken the '64 II out to a show - it was a thrill to play it live, I love it's tone and it truly plays nice, easily the best playing bass I've ever owned.

New Yo La Tengo video.  I love how James McNew has been consistently on a Thunderbird for years now.

That's nice, gently flowing music.

What I love about YLT is how their style is all over the place.  Their live shows are always amazing.

A white Thunderbird II on stage with Chris Stapleton.
It does have a wider travel bridge, but other than that it looks vintage.
