Custom Build Non-Reverse Thunderbird bass with '66 Thunderbucker pickups - *SOLD*
£525
Nottingham


Recommended Posts

Now sold pending 

 

I'm selling this one-off Custom built non-reverse Thunderbird, bought from @silverfoxnik back in the summer.

 

This bass has something of a history among the BC community as it was built by the Bass Doc using a Bachbird mahogany body blank, with a rosewood board, two-part Bach bridge, Gotoh GB528 res-o-lite tuners and Thunderbucker '66 pickups.

The finish is a matt off-white which is nicely going 'ivory' with age

 

The neck is slim and fast and the pick ups are wonderfully punchy and deep - somewhere between a stingray and a p bass with a touch of grand piano thrown in.

 

It comes in a very well fitting TKL hard case

As usual, I'm gassing for a something else and as this isn't my gigging bass I'm putting up for sale

 

I'm in Nottingham, so meet up within reasonable distance is possible. I'll be in High Wycombe on the weekend of the 16/17/18 Feb so could meet within a reasonable distance of there if that helps.

 

It would be possible to deliver but I'd prefer to use the delivery guy @walshy uses and recommends. Delivery costs to be covered by the buyer

 

Here is the original build thread

This was my bass for a couple of years as @ricksterphilhas said above and it really is a fabulous instrument!

 

A total joy to play, sounds gorgeous and looks as cool as F**k! 

 

At this price, you won't find a better and more unique T-Bird anywhere, I guarantee you.

Another former owner here, I'd echo @silverfoxnik's comments. This bass sounds absolutely immense and looks fab!
