[quote name='gub' post='1251897' date='May 31 2011, 07:01 PM']Whats the weight on this baby?[/quote] Going by what I've read online it should be around 9lbs. I don't have any scales so can't confirm this. You'd have thought with the amount of basses I'd sold over the past few years I'd have something to weigh them. Its lighter than my Epiphone Thunderbird

[quote name='steve-soar' post='1251690' date='May 31 2011, 04:10 PM']My first bass, back in 1984. I hated the wood grain, so I sprayed it, then sold it. I think the words "cock" and "end" were put together to describe me getting rid of it. Great basses.[/quote] I can't get over how good it looks considering its age and how many gigs its done. To say that the pickup packs a punch would be an understatement - I have to run it with the active button pressed on my amp. it sounds the business but unfortunately just not the sound that I prefer

This was always my favourite colour as well but I'm trying to sell a couple of basses so I'm out at the moment

I'd describe it as medium low[/color] Does it do that "Iron Maiden P-bass sound" ? [color="#FF0000"]Personally I think it does[/color] do you have an estimate of the weight by any chance? [color="#FF0000"]I can't tell you exactly but there was a guy on Talkbs who said that his was 9lbs[/color] regards, D.[/quote]

Bump for more pictures and price drop. the bass is also on Ebay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140556874137&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]here[/url]

After wanting one of these for so long, I realise that the Thunderbird is the only bass for me so I'm now selling this on. The body is made from ash and has a maple neck and fretboard. The bridge and knobs are made of brass and it has the trademark heart shaped tuners. There is natural wear to both bridge and knobs but nothing that you wouldn't expect with a 30 year old bass. The body has some dings and dents corresponding to its age and being a great gigging bass but there's nothing major and its not very noticable due to the colour. I searched for years to find a bass with a proper Precision bass sound and eventually found this bass. I've owned Fenders and Squiers from Affinities to MIA ones but this is by far the most authentic sounding Precision I've ever had the privelige to play and own. If you want to hear it for yourself just find some Supergrass as Mick Quinn from the band apparently bought one of these as his first bass and used it on all the albums simply because it was so good and he didn't need to look for anything else. I currently have this on Ebay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140556868706&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]here[/url] but would obviously not be looking for that amount on here. Looking for £300 plus delivery which will probably be around the £10-15 mark. I don't have a gig bag or case with it but it will be well packed. My Shine 8 string is also for sale and you can get to it by clicking the link in my sig

If you want an idea of how much of a bargain this is, I sold my stock Cherry sunburst LP Std last month for £260

[quote name='dc2009' post='1247851' date='May 28 2011, 02:13 AM']Wanna sell me your TB instead? [/quote] Well let me think about that for about two seconds

I was missing my 12 string and since I thought it would be a bit overkill for the wedding band I decided to get an 8 string but I can't get it to fit in anywhere so its now up for sale. Its a shame cos after posting in the repairs and technical issues section saying that i couldn't get it set up to my liking, I managed to get it set up to my liking and have been practicing all week to make sure I could pull it off. I'm literally just back from tonight's gig with it so haven't had the chance to take any pictures of it on its own but here are some pictures I recently put in the gear porn forum: The truss rod cover is missing from the pictures as I had just adjusted the truss rod but it will be fitted prior to delivery/meet up or whatever. The bass is a maple through neck with walnut strips and a rosewood fretboard with 24 frets. Considering its maple, its not that heavy and it balances very well on a decent strap. It has satin nickel hardware and a 2 band EQ. I changed the battery when I bought it to a decent Duracell one as it had one of those cheap and nasty ones fitted. The bass was made in Shine's Korea factory as its one of their top of the range models and everyone knows Korea is the new Japan innit Its in minty condition and so it should be cos its new. I can't find any marks on it anywhere. It will come with a gig bag and I have a set of Rickenbacker strings I can include for an additional £35 (they're [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/1088-rickenbacker_8_string_bass_"]£49 from Strings Direct[/url]) otherwise I'll sell them separately. As far as price goes, they're currently £385 delivered not including gig bag so I'd be looking for something of equal value new when considering trades. I haven't a clue what I'd be looking for in a trade so try me and you might have what I didn't know I wanted For a straight sale I'd be looking for around the £[s]300[/s] 275 mark ONO including postage to mainland UK

[quote name='mathewsanchez' post='1244328' date='May 25 2011, 02:57 PM']local pick up from Woodbridge in Suffolk only.[/quote] Damn. I really can't afford this but would have it back in a minute if posting was an option
