I'm trying to familiarize myself with the thunderbird tone. Can you point me towards any thunderbird albums?

Its hard to say albums, because you never really know what is a true tone, but check out the Jethro Tull live at the Isle of Wight DVD

theres loads of it on youtube

Mike Watt - Contemplating The Engine Room

so many....

you can hear t-birds in action in albums by motley crue, nirvana, cheap trick, manic street preachers, sonic youth, placebo, u2, muse and so on.

but if you're looking for a classic t-bird sound I think you should stick to The Who.

leon wilkerson used one & ed king used one on the first skynyrd. martin turner used one with wishbone ash.

Martin Turner's TBird can be heard on Wishbone Ash's Live Dates and on IV (not on Argus, he still played a Ric 4001 then even though the cover shows him with a TBird, but that pic was taken after the recording sessions). He played the TBird on later recordings too, but interspersed with tracks played with a Fender or his Hamer Explorer bass (with sixties TBird pups).

John Entwistle used a non-reverse T-Bird to record Quadrophenia.
