Thunderbird Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 They're supposed to be pretty good facsimiles of the real thing and given it's age and the quality of US builds at that time, it's probably better put together as well! If it was over here the price would be OK, bringing it in from Japan and factoring Mr Cameron's cut to fight the war on terror, you'd be better off shopping around for the real thing. Shame.

BigRedX Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The fact that they are chrome and not that horrible plastic black is good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
