I've never seen one without a bass, but here's an example. This is my bass:



Nice photo indeed. Artsy, even!
I need to check but I think my Fenderbird is really a '76 (at least that's what the pots indicate).

Was there ever a time when the US of A consisted of only nine states? I think that Bicentennial Bird is undernourished.

Haha!  ;D

Firebirds also have the '76 sign if it's a 76er. Check the serial number. Has to start with 00....

Oh, that's another one of your 51st States, right?  8)

Manifest Destiny and such.



I wonder whether in 2026 for the 250 year anniversary Gibson will still be around to bring out a Bi-son-and-a-half-tennial TBird? With chrome hardware to bring a tear to the faces of all those old men scattered in Gibson TBird Afficianados Veterans' Homes all over the country?
