Gust0o Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) This no longer gets played, so I'm hoping someone will make it a nice home Epiphone Thunderbird - 4-string reverse. Nice player, stock pick-ups and electronics. Dent on the headstock and some marking around the bridge where it's been adjusted. Currently fitted with new Ernie Ball Slinkys.

Looking for around [s]£150[/s] £125, but very much open to offers - as above, it's not being played, so if you've got an idea then shout! Happy to post but those local (another Yorkie here) can bob-in and try. I'll even throw in a cuppa Edited October 29, 2010 by Gust0o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Bumpy! I wasn't sure what to charge for this, so if I've gone ridiculously off-market let me know - as above, open to offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 That's a non reverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Gah! I have both, a 5- and a 4-string, so I knew I had a 50/50 chance of getting the description partly right! Thanks for the heads-up cocco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 No worries brother. It would make more sense if that was the reverse shape I think. Damn fender lawsuit (I believe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Au contraire, that [b]is[/b] the reverse shape; [url="http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/Thunderbird_1963.php"]http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/Thunderbird_1963.php[/url] & this is the non-reverse; [url="http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/Thunderbird_1966.php"]http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/Thunderbird_1966.php[/url] Anyway, whatever it is - cool bass at cheap price from top guy to deal with!

cameltoe Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I've got a bit of GAS for a thunderbird at the moment. Don't know why as I've never tried one. Heard the neck dive is pretty bad but can be sorted. How thick and wide are the necks on these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 PMs replied to - I think I owe you all some new pics of the various bits, and I'll sort you out with some dimensions Cameltoe Neckdive can be readily sorted. I simply used a wide strap and it didn't much impact me thereafter, but moving the strap button is a quick fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Reet, neck is 4.2cm at the nut, looking E to G; 2cm deep at widest part, for my own measurements. Neck is a shallow shallow D-shape, much more akin to the P-style basses in my collection, but very flat at the widest parts. Lacquer runs all the way over it, meaning it's a very quick player. I took some shots of the various knocks - headstock dent; finish crack; screwdriver markings; etc: [url="http://s264.photobucket.com/albums/ii186/Gust0o/?action=view¤t=08a2ec6f.jpg"][/url] [url="http://s264.photobucket.com/albums/ii186/Gust0o/?action=view¤t=f004af1b.jpg"][/url] [url="http://s264.photobucket.com/albums/ii186/Gust0o/?action=view¤t=ff452197.jpg"][/url] [url="http://s264.photobucket.com/albums/ii186/Gust0o/?action=view¤t=93d7a666.jpg"][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
