Burny Thunderbird anyone?

(1/2) > >>

Basvarken:
Never seen one of these. Looks good as far as I can see from the pics. The string through body is a nice feature with the three point.
The BIN is very tempting...

Granny Gremlin:
Yeah, not a bad price at all - especially for (what appears to be) a proper neck thru. The text says bolt on though ("4 point detachable") - see no such thing in the pics, but maybe the seller reused a template from another auction and forgot to change that bit.  Makes you wonder what else is an error (e.g. 'maple neck" - the dings on the back show what look like maho poking through both the wing and centre sections - could be a set neck disguised to look like neck thru though).

If you're going to ape a unique Gibson finish, silverburst wouldn't be the one I'd pick, but it looks alright.  I'd be tempted if it was closer (shipping is half the price of the bass again).

Dave W:
Mark has one of these, or at least he had one and posted about it, about five years ago.

 I had one until recently, really the Epi Classic is the far better bass by comparison, I took mine up to The Bass Shop in West Seattle and let them sell it - Took them all of 20 minutes to do so, great shop!

The strap button is on the lower horn. Lefty player or a simple solution for neck dive?
