    Has anyone ever used a Gibson Thunderbird in any kind of prog?

    In my experience Gibson Thunderbirds are usually thought of as basses people use for playing simple and heavy bass lines but has anyone ever seen someone using it in prog or just generally using it for more complex stuff?

    Stacking Distortion On A B7K

    I'm currently running a Tech 21 VT Bass into a Darkglass B3K but I'm not a huge fan of the B3K sound by itself (I play finger style) and the Tech 21 makes way too much background noise to use. I'm looking at getting a B7K to color my tone and EQ my sound but I want another distortion to stack...

    Any experience with the Markbass CMD JB Players School Combo?

    Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying this combo, since a local shop sells one and I loved the sound, looks and price. I'm just asking, whether it could provide enough power in a prog rock band (willing to buy another 1x15 for it if not) and whether I can count on it being reliable, because the...
