Is that a sticker on it or is that logo painted? That's tempting...

With a Königstiger B string that will ignore all Geneva Conventions ...

Not just a TBnird but also an excellent passive 5 string.

That's a 4 string 66N ThunderBucker in the neck position.  Steve and I have developed the "EX" which has much better B string coverage.  I'm using them in my JAEbird and NR Fivers and in my opinion there's no comparison.  I declined to build this guy a Fiver before finalizing the EX.

Here's another picture of the bass pre ThunderBucker.

 The 'Bird that's replacing it has a much better B string, I know  ;)
