'67 Thunderbird/Hiwatt gig report

[Freuds_Cat]

Nice comparison. Both great sounds but really quite different. The Tbird is beautifully raw and organic sounding with a great growly edge to it. The FB is more polite and rounder sounding than the TB but still with that nice darkness to its tone. Tighter sounding as well.

Thanks Nothing sounds like a NR II!  For a while I was leaving them home and using my Model G powered NR "fenderbird".  Now I bring both the Fenderbird one of my NRs. Here is the Fenderbird for comparison.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiBrr31hd2Q

What a great song! From the dim recesses of my mind I can remember playing that when it was new along with a few other Mott The Hoople tunes like Rock N Roll Queen. Your band looks like it would be a blast to play in. I don't know if it was the mix but that bass doesn't sound as strong as the Thunderbird you played in the first video. Great stuff! Your guitar player has a great sound too, sounds like a pegged V4 although I'm sure you said it wasn't.
