I'm working at home today. Always tempting to pick up a guitar.
So this afternoon I plugged the Nightbird into Channel 1 on the Thunderbird amp, then jumpered the Thunderbird over to the bass channel on the Thunderbass with the 2X10 cab. Bass way up, treble almost off on the Thunderbass, the notch filter in the low position. Treble up, bass nearly off on the Thunderbird, a bit of tremolo and about 1/2 on the reverb.
Oh my. I'm a convert. Opening up the guitar tone pot brings up the TBird and yields an great dynamic range in tone and volume. Flipping the pickups out of phase adds some sort of "spaciousness" to the sound - hard to explain, sort of a very subtle and cool chorus effect.
This could be much fun, although it's not exactly the rig you want to carry over to a friend's or load in at the next open stage. Cost me at least an hour's work. So far.
