[edit] High Output?

I really wish there was a citation for the statement, "Due to the large amount of wood under the strings and pickups, this bass has a very high output volume, even more so than many active basses such as the Fender Deluxe Jazz Bass," as I'm pretty sure the high output of a thunderbird bass is due to the TB+ pickups, and has nothing to do with the amount of wood under the strings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thryllkill (talk • contribs) 14:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Non-Reverse Thunderbirds

I added the term, "Non-Reverse" to the first sub heading under, "Design and Construction," as I thought just saying, "Thunderbirds," in an article about Thunderbirds (both rev and non-rev).thryllkill (talk) 14:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

And then I edited the paragraph itself to reflect that non-reverse thunderbirds are the rarity so sought after.thryllkill (talk) 17:35, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Murderface

I added William Murderface to the list of notable musicians who play Thunderbirds. I know he's fictional, but he's fairly well known, and, as far as I know, there aren't any other ones, so I didn't think it warranted a new section.--Agent Aquamarine 03:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pete Way

Astonished to discover Pete Way's absence, so have included him. (Bigfatspider 22:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Epiphone Goth Thunderbird

Does the Epiphone Gothic Thunderbird really come with Gibson pickups as stock? I own one and seriously doubt it does. I've also read the Epiphone Humbuckers and Gibson Humbuckers are a slightly different size meaning the Gibson one won't fit on the Epiphone (without modification).

Also, what about some info. on the Epiphone Nikki Sixx Blackbird?

It doesn't come with Gibson Humbuckers stock, so I fixed it. I'm not sure about the route being a different size. I'd love more info on the epi blackbird. Maybe I'll do a quick write up about it tonight, and if no one objects add it lated this weekend. thryllkill (talk) 14:10, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
