Geddy Likes Thunderbirds

[DirkPrattLerxst]

He posted a picture of Thunderbirds he must've recently acquired on Instagram with the caption "Sometimes you just have to throw some love at some basses that I've overlooked for years...super cool 64 reverse Tbirds in Pelham Blue, Kerry Green, Ember Red, Heather Mist Poly, Frost Blue etc." I wouldn't mind hearing him play one on a new solo record :) Edited October 5, 2016 by DirkPrattLerxst

This is what I thought of first as well.

Great album.

On behalf of everyone at TRF, I want to apologize to the OP for hijacking this thread.

 

But those basses aren't Rickies, so meh!

A basement full of Thunderbird...it all makes sense now.

You beat me to it!

Considering he played a couple of them on the last tour it shouldn't be a real surprise.

He played a little of everything last tour. Isn't this a Hofner?

Don't like the look, the feel or the tone! So many better instruments out there!

Geddy looks like a little kid when he's playing one.

I don't think they look too bad and IMO they were some of the best sounding basses used on R40, but I do think the ergonomics are lacking.

What's the word? Thunderbird!

What's the price? .40, twice!
