Nice bass, nice fretboard

Nice piece of rosewood on this bass, nice bass as well. You dont see a lot of really nice rosewood fingerboards since the ban on Brazilian Rosewood.

George had one like this.

Is that original? I've never seen a Thunderbird board that looked like that. Nice bass. I'm pretty sure it's been up recently but don't remember if that's the same seller.

From the price, I think the seller thinks it's a 1956 Thunderbird - the Ford version.  But I don't get "vintage" Gibson or Fender prices.

All it takes is one idiot to pay a ridiculous price for one and Bob's your uncle. That becomes the new price we all can look forward to.

Does any one elsa think the serial number looks funny? Like an inked number was applied over a stamped number. Shouldn't it have a stamped number anyway?
