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?
The late, great Chris Squire comes to mind...
Chris Squire was mainly known for playing a Rickenbacker, though. Did he use the Thunderbird a lot? And Do you know which albums/songs he used the Thunderbird on?
On Drama, he uses it on "Does it really happen"
Simple heavy bass lines? Man you are sheltered.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?
What is your point? Do you not understand what I’m writing?Simple heavy bass lines? Man you are sheltered.
Has Geddy Lee ever used it on a recording?Glenn Cornick of Jethro Tull and Geddy Lee.

I do understand and as a life long Thunderbird player I find it rather insulting.What is your point? Do you not understand what I’m writing?
Well, I did not say that simple bass lines are inferior to a more complex style so I don’t really see why you would be insulted but you do understand the difference in style between Nikki Sixx and Geddy Lee, right? I’m just asking a question because I’m interested in knowing, whether anybody has used a Thunderbird to play in a style such as, for instance, Geddy Lee’s.I do understand and as a life long Thunderbird player I find it rather insulting.
Interesting. Thanks
