More mod collection basses. Tbirds too

[uwe]

There is mods and then there is silly mods. Logo style does not influence sound.
The whole thing has so many mismatches, it's pawnshop more like."Hey Joe, what else do we have lying around in the workshop right now? We've really got to get rid of this stuff!"

[ilan]

I happen to like it a lot. Poor taste, what can you do 

[TBird1958]

Alternative history in the making: No actual 60ies TBird ever had that logo. Total mismatch to the modern tuners.

Those amber knobs must appeal to anybody though.


Who is colorblind!

   

 This the actual reason you don't "collect for fins"

What can I do? Be ready to sacrifice my life anytime to protect your poor taste, Ilan, of course! BTDF - bad taste defense force, that's me!!! 

It's too hodgepode for me, the archaic logo, a 90ies (and even later) satin style fin on a 60ies bass, mixing chrome and nickel look hardware, the amber knobs, the antiquated stringholder bridge, the mother of toilet seat pg - it's like some lavish antipasti plate at an Italian restaurant,





that always confuses me too!

[Basvarken]

Close, but no cigar.

I am puzzled by the spacing of the bridge and the tailpiece. Can't think of any valid reason why they are so far apart?
And the mismatch of chrome of the pickups and nickel of the bridge is rather unfortunate too.

[TBird1958]

 the mismatch is because the Epiphone parts are Nickel with some chrome, I'm just happy to see them actually giving this a shot - Epiphone hardware on a Gibson body. 

[Dave W]

Full price for a slapped together mismatch. And someone will buy it.

[uwe]

"Gibson by Epiphone" - what is the world coming too?

[Basvarken]

There is nothing wrong with the Epiphone two point bridge plus tailstop.
But they should have realised these are also available in chrome

Having said that: the original Non Reverse Thunderbird also had chrome and nickel combined.

[uwe]

Bad taste and a blind eye for details are timeless.

[Ken]

Someone's gotta buy that NR and add another tailpiece or two in between the bridge and existing tailpiece.

[godofthunder]

   Finally a two piece bridge, will miracles never cease.

[uwe]

Multiple use too. 

A TBird for the kitchen, no less.

[godofthunder]

 Hahaha  there is a whole lotta space between the bridge and the tailpiece. Will Gibson ever get it right?

Natürlich nicht. So eine dumme Frage. Ostfront !!!
