    Open to offers bump!
  2. Cosmo Valdemar
    Not much attention yet... I think I've priced it fairly considering these were originally over a grand. However I am open to offers! Don't confuse this with the standard Epiphone line, these are much better quality and far more authentic.

    Very tempted by the Catalinbread...

    [quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1400789634' post='2457128'] Did any of these chaps have a thread about it? googleing isnt helping. [/quote] There was, but the search function on TB isn't very helpful... I suggest sending a pm to Tbird1958, he seems to be the sage of all things Thunderbird on TB, and I know he's replaced the tuners before.

    He needs to get well soon, it's one of my ambitions to see a Beatle!

    An 'upset at lack of attention' bump.

    That's incredible!

    Lots of folk on Talkbass have tried this. It seems you would have to fan them out to avoid them hitting each other. A pitfall of the smaller headstock. And those ain't lollipops either ;-)

    Looks like Frankenstein! Beautiful bass.

    I like it. It's like a John Deacon with an extra bit. Sadly I am unable to make you an offer as you have something else I covet far, far more...

    For sale - My Epiphone Elitist EB3 in glorious short scale. I picked this up a couple of months ago after years of keeping my eyes open for one. Alas it's not really for me, after all that! Certainly a bit of a rarity on these shores. The bass is in superb condition, with just two small chips in the finish - one by the lower strap button and one on the rear of the horn. The rest of the bass is superb, neck appears pristine as far as I can tell. All electronics and hardware in full working order. The back of the headstock is marked '2nd' but I am unable to see why - unless it was the aforementioned chips to the finish. This bass is far closer to the original Gibson EB3 than the current SG bass, both in feel and particularly tone. It nails the Jack Bruce / Andy Fraser / Jim Lea sound and really comes alive with a bit of drive. The bass was recently set up with D'Addario Chrome flats. I also added a mod bar to the bridge (see pics) - this is removeable If you don't like it but it does wonders for sustain and tone. Specs: USA EGBR Humbucker & EGBT Mini-humbucker pickups Book-matched African Mahogany top 1-piece, set mahogany neck Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays Tombstone headstock with pearl holly inlay 2-ply truss rod cover with "Gibson" engraving Open-back Gotoh tuners Bone nut 3-point bridge 4-ply black pickguard with thumbrest Nickel hardware Black reflector knobs 2 Vol. 2 Tone controls 4-way rotary selector switch 30.5" scale 1.68" nut width Now reduced to [s]£400[/s] £375 ONO OHSC included. Collection preferred from Kent / SE London or can meet / deliver around the M25. Shipping can be arranged at buyer's cost.

    [quote name='Merton' timestamp='1399569954' post='2445496'] It's a shame when the room ruins the fun, you can have the best rig ever but in a marble-floored, dome-ceilinged room (I speak here from bitter experience, haha!) you're stuffed! [/quote] That's a relief to hear. It was a ridiculous room. I'll report back after I use it at next rehearsal.

    [quote name='slab66' timestamp='1399799545' post='2447669'] Okay! firstly its not a P Bass! Its a 1966 'Telecaster Bass'! It just happens to look like a P Bass. I have played an original 66 that was owned by John Entwistle. It was quite heavy with ash body not swamp ash. I've had the pleasure of chatting with Barrie Midford-Millership who was the creator of the slab. It was his 'baby'! You need to read is book. Its all in there. [/quote] And secondly? It does seem to say 'Precision Bass' on the headstock...
