That sounds an interesting project, @6feet7. Are your having to put new pickups in or do the “no poles” type on the thunderbird cope? It’s said the EB has thunderbird pickups but it does have massive visible poles.

I just think they need a bit of a think…backwards as it sounds

 

Imagine a Gibson Les Paul Signature bass reissue (basically a posh Jack Casady) - they’d sell a good few of those, even if they were touching £2000 (they’d probably end up £4000 🙄)

 

A Gibson version of the reissued “reverse” Thunderbird - like the Epiphone 

 

Grabber/Ripper/G3 1 but actually like the old ones; not the feeble “nearly” versions of 2009/10.

 

The EB4 mosrite looking thing was a lovely bass, but they changed after a year, then turned into a pseudo Tobias looking thing and then gone…

 

just a mad company.

 

 

The EB you call “Mosrite looking” which I don’t disagree with, was described by the designer as being based on the EB3, doesn’t look much like it to me, but it is a good bass. The next issue, the pointy one is very similar to the Bunny Brunel model they made for a short while before he shifted allegiance to Carvin. Kyle Eastwood still plays them. 
They just don’t seem to have anything around for long.

Someone seems to have scribbled on the back of the head, so I think you should send it back. Seriously one of the nicest Precision’s I ve seen in a long time, wish I had it.

Good luck with it, and it will be on the marketplace when?

One has to ask why bother!

I like the look of the gold anodised plate on your blue Precision. I wonder how it would look on mine? Is it actually aluminium or the plastic lookalike?

I have two basses which cover all eventualities. A P with flats and a J with rounds. The J was my only bass for the last couple of years. The P was going to be a reserve but is now on equal footing. Who else is done? 
 

 

I haven’t bought anything this year, but was given the Spector Coda so does that count?

Presumably they stopped producing when it was no longer their anniversary.

I just think the whole band sounds wonderful. Everyone else is so good I didn’t really hear Micheal League’s parts.

I have the 2013 EB5 bought new for a knockout £550. It does only weigh 3.5kg & the pickups are great.  Very well appointed. It’s not getting used enough, I must resurrect it.

I’d rather have a new car.
