Hey Mark...

Saw these and thought of you:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Gibson-Thunderbird-Bass-Pickguard-Stainless-Steel_W0QQitemZ230336169848QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item230336169848&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318


I think it looks pretty sharp, and may compliment chrome hardware!

Gibson Basses / Money Bass Bridge question..........
« on: February 02, 2009, 05:14:46 AM »
All,

For the life of me, I cannot find the hex wrench that fits the Money bass' bridge so I can fix the intonation and string height............what size key is this so I can get a new one??  Also, can these keys be bought in 'bulk' online somehwere rather than get a whole wrench set?? 

Thanks!

Gibson Basses / Epiphone Blackbird reclamation project on the 'Bay
« on: November 15, 2008, 06:58:20 AM »
All,

There 's an Epi Blackbird on the bay, that had it's headstock snapped off, and being sold as parts.  As many know, I've been searching for a BB pickguard for some time....IF I win this auction, would anyone be interested in buying the body for a F****bird???

Right now, with the CDN Exchange. it'll be about 200...so not very cost-effective for a piece of plastic.  That' all I'd want, maybe the Optigrab too if that wasn't desired....b/c I think I would actually use it! I'll ask them to ship without the neck too...since I'm not the project type..

Also a question for UWE:  Does the Epi BB pickguard line up with the one on a Gibby Bird?

LMK!

Thanks

Scott

Gibson Basses / LF: Gibson Firebird Studio...
« on: November 12, 2008, 08:12:05 AM »
All,

Might be in the market for a used Firebird Studio, aside from Ebay, if anyone has one to move, I may be interested.  There's a red one on the 'Bay at 650 I'm considering..

Apologies in advance if this post is in the wrong place...

Regards,
Scott

Clubbass is in Toronto, and Dave Freeman, the owner, is great...assuming this is of interest.

Gibson Basses / A Mo$t unexpected birthday pre$ent...
« on: August 29, 2008, 08:11:51 PM »
Well....................my wife totally shocked me this year.......she bought this from a link I sent back in December 07...........been sitting on it since   :mrgreen:





Quick thoughts:

1) Setup very low..but just uber-right
2) Uber-funky bass....great for thumb/pop stuff...
3) Thunderbird-Lite or Diet-Thunderbird or Thunderbird "sans calories"
4) Dark blue to light blue finish sharper in person
5) Fits in the back of my civic :)
6) 'McLovin' the chrome on this one.

Gibson Basses / Anyone have a Blackbird pickguard???
« on: August 01, 2008, 05:49:36 AM »
I guess this'll be my last call for one, Gibson/Epi won't sell them as an available spare part...none on the bay....so if anyone recently bastard-ized a Blackbird and have the pickguard...I'm interested!!
