Thunderbird

There is a thread some where on here about these basses I think they are made by Gibson as a budget version of the Thunderbird

I love my Fender it is awesome but I do have to agree with Dingus that 2 grand is IMO mental money for a bass new or old but on the other hand it is like a classic car that cost £500 new 40 years ago and is now worth like 10 grand but if people want to spend that kind of money on a bass or anything else its up to them its there money and if it makes them happy then why not.

Reminds me of Cradle of filth bit heavy for my tastes but good on ya and I wish you well

Awesome work Ian absolutely fantastic

YAY glad it is sorted and you are more than welcome

Would a cheap compressor take care of the hum? may be a ton cheaper than new pups

Have you tried the Legacy strings from strings direct Lozz? I believe these are made by Rotosound but are about half the cost might be worth a try if you are buying new strings a lot more now

LOve the Yamaha BX-1 in there never seen one of those before

I bought a pedal from Ben it arrived quickly and was packaged to survive a nuclear blast Ben's communication was also great top basschatter

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1392409426' post='2368525'] I have ordered this, looking forward to getting it, I'll report back next week if there's any interest?

Bought a truss rod tool from Rich it was in good nick and as described and it got here really quickly would deal with Rich again without hesitation

I think a Tu-2 very accurate and built like a tank and you can get one on here for about 40 quid normally

Paul, by all means you are welcome to have a look and see if you can figure out what's wrong. Pilot error perhaps???

I had that with a bass once but only just thought of it
