I wish I'd bought this Bluebird!

This thing is HOT!

Oh my, thats my kind of Thunda' Bird!

Epi custom shop though?

Didn't even know that existed..............

Dave W · May 17, 2009, 04:16:09 PM

Me neither.

If this were a true custom shop, why would the bass need to be set up and inspected in the USA?

Denis · May 17, 2009, 04:52:20 PM

I was kind of confused about that whole custom shop thing too. IS there (or was there) a custom shop in the Korean plant?

Weren't these part of the limited run they did with the white & red?

Andy's right, the red, blue and white ones were all limited editions as colors. My red Epi had that same custom shop stamp on the neck too - Alas, it went bye-bye in favor of a lefy J neck to become my F'Bird, Matt (Poomwah) has it now

Interesting...

Birds look good in any color unlike grabbers.

Denis · May 18, 2009, 07:59:42 PM

Usually I'm not a huge fan of the painted Birds, but the blue really looked good on it. And I think Rippers and Grabbers look awesome in all black.

What's wrong with blue Grabbers, meine Herren! Black and blue ones to be precise ...

Or Kalamazoos ...

Non-Revs ...

or the mighty Mon(k)ey bass

love that blue Grabber!

Barklessdog · May 19, 2009, 06:02:38 AM

I did a bunch of color studies for my Ripper / Blueshawk and could not find something I could fall in love with color wise.

This is the best color I have seen on one, in my opinion-

Black on black is still the best combo for a Ripper to me.

SKATE RAT · May 19, 2009, 06:06:09 AM

i could get into that white/tort one.

Barklessdog · May 19, 2009, 06:08:47 AM

British racing green for Chris/ Doug

Denis · May 19, 2009, 07:19:51 AM

Okay, I'll buy into that blue Grabber: it DOES look good. And the NR as well, but it makes me really wish I'd bought that darn NR Epi I saw on eBay some months ago. Argh!
