karlfer Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) CASH COLLECTED £400 Trade value £500 Neil Shoemark luthier built Gibson TRIBUTE non reverse Thunderbird. NOT a Gibson!!!!! I was informed it has an original 68 Gibson T Bird pick up. I can’t prove that but have absolutely no reason to doubt it. Body is Benin Walnut, mahogany neck, rosewood board. It now has an expensive Babicz bridge. It weighs 9lb 12oz. It has quite a few cymbal nibbles on the headstock, a few nick’s, chips & bumps. The original owner has one of Mr. Entwistle’s original 67 NR Tbirds. The template for this bass was taken from that bass. I am the second owner. A non reverse was an itch that had to be scratched but I am not comfortable playing it. It feels more of a pick players bass, I use fingers. This comes with a very battered case which does the job, although it consists of gaffer tape & dark matter (bloody heavy). I will take photos later on but there are a couple below from the original advert on Craig Addecott Bass Guitars page on Facebook (hope he doesn’t mind). I did not pay that price for this bass. I realise this is niche, hence cash price. I really would prefer trial & collection from Wigan, so a buyer can see if it’s for them. TRADES ! Fender J or P (the ONLY Gibson I have ever got on with was an Explorer, go figure!) Magellan 800, PUMA. I have a couple of hundred quid to add if needed. And no, your 1998 Mex J that was £220 new is not worth £500 to me now . Thanks for looking, Cheers, Karl.

krispn Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 You got any audio? It looks like a crackin bass! Maybe needs to be worn a bit lower to really look rock n roll though. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
