[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1427392139' post='2729884'] That actually looks pretty sweet. Bit of a departure from your normal choice of bass but that's often when you have the most fun. If you guys support us again anywhere you'll have to make sure you bring it along [/quote] It's sweet mate ...by no means a "one truck pony "....

This turned up today £275.00:)..must admit I was a little worried not ever trying a thunderbird but I'm glad to say it's a pleasant surprise ..excellent build quality ,mahogany wings ,through neck (walnut and maple I think )active sound ..low action ...not to heavy ..I'm told it's everything a Gibson thunderbird Is not ..

Certainly was ...I'm pleased I went for the epi option ....its a bit of a gamble ..always loved the shape it's an icon and the active pups Swung it .....looks like the fernandes has to go up for sale again as its getting bumped further and further down the pecking order ... Thanks guys for all your inputs ..much appriciated ...

bought this little £275.00 + postage ...not a bad price ..think it looks well cool

Happy with a wide fretboard ..there's one popped up on fleabay ....

Seems that's the one ..I've tracked a 2nd hand down ..not many 5's about though ...

Really have gas for a thunderbird style of bass .sadley I don't have the funds for a Gibson at the moment and needs to be 5 string ....rumour is there a "one trick pony".....anyone got any thoughts on the epiphone or tokai option ? The schecter Nikki sixx signature looks cool but I'm not a fan of signature bass's and don't Think it comes as a 5...

Love the atk's .....great looking bass for the money...seriously thinking of a Sr 805 in Amber or a 1205 ...great sounding great looking ... I do struggle with the neck as I have big old butcher hands .....though like any bass find one and try ...

Great bass ..had one ..sold it ! ..why ? I don't know ...enjoy

Sort of looking for this set up on a jazz or precision style of bass .....

I'm gassing for a new bass..I've tried a Ibanez sr1205 today ...loved the pups which were norstrand soapbars but struggled with the neck ..beutifull looking ..then spotted fender modern player great looking in Matt black with a maple finger board Loved the feel of the neck and sounded awesome to ..I know mayones do a jazz bass with fitted on a model and spector have there coda but it's huge money that I can't afford at the moment ...any ideas ...anyone ?

Quite like the Matt black with maple neck ..though I seem to be heading down the route of this maybe ? (If I'm a good boy )...

Looks stunning mate ...saw the black one in pmt on Saturday ...dare not try it ..I wouldn't be bothered by where it's born either , cannot see how you could justify the best part of 1500.00 to 1600.00 for a usa made fender nowdays ...

Really fancy the Amber 805 or the 806 ... Ever got on with the 4 string because of the slim neck ..tried a fiver and six in pmt , my opinions changed ...

would that be the ssd on eBay at the moment for £695.00 ? Looks a nice bass

I've never seen a euro in the flesh to compare ...I did have a cheaply spector a few years ago ...was euro shaped but not so rounded on the body ..never seen one like it since ..weak pups though ..(sorry mate I'm not really any help at all )!
