Now, that is a true beauty! It's really hard to be beaten by any other piece. Nice, but maybe even too nice to take to a smoked-in pub with empty glasses for a hard rock gig. But maybe for a small saloon? With a spinet doing it's grooves?

I don't have issues with playing any of my basses anywhere. Dings, scratches, aged fins - it's all part of the circle of life, Simba.

I'd rather have the white TB-II from the '80s.

It would make some sense to make a bass like this top of the T bird line, as the top of the line Firebird guitar have gold hardware and block markers.

Of course, it would have to have three pickups :)

An excellent point. Love the looks of it myself.

It sounds great too, really warm and fuzzy tone with endless sustain. Korina has nice sonic characterics, non-descript looking as it is.

That blocked Thunderbird is beautiful.  I'd love to see one with trapezoids.  I suppose a Thunderbird that needed a new fretboard could have that done.
