Hey, so i bought this thunderbird on BC really recently. It is everything I expected and more: thick, raunchy, punchy tone, Iconic looks...just generally a beast of a machine. But my new P+J and J+P basses have taken over and I just love them more.
First thing I did was move the upper strap peg to the back of the neck/body - as the Tokai's have a set neck (UNLIKE the Epiphones bolt-on) this was easy enough to do and has largely eliminated the famous Thunderbird neck dive. The bass was sold to me with the 'clip in/slide on' strap pegs, fortunately this is what I also use. Unfortunately I dont have any replacements to hand so you'll have to source them yourselves.
There are a few cosmetic things that I should mention that are visible in the photos below:
1. one of the control knobs has a small triangle of plastic broken off.
2. Where I previously installed a chrome bridge cover, there are holes left over.
3. Where I have moved the top strap peg to the back of the neck, there is a hole where the peg used to be.
2 and 3 are nothing a small amount of wood filler and paint wouldnt disguise.
The bass it self is in ok condition but does have a few little scuffs and scrapes, nothing too deep and also comes with its own fitting softcase.
[b]I'm looking for £185 Including UK Postage[/b]
Payment via paypal or cash on collection can be arranged (I live near junction 18 of the M25)
due to work constraints - postage will take place the saturday after the bass sells, unless I have a day off, or if I can arrange someone to go down to the post office for me.
