Title: 65 Gibson Fenderbird
Post by: godofthunder on November 07, 2024, 04:24:38 AM
 It's great to be back at the LBO!
   You guys know I love a good misfit toy and this bass is the king! As 63-65 Thunderbird prices sail out of sight I'd all but given up on getting one then the this modded beast showed up on Reverb.  I'm absolutely in love with this thing. The video tells the story. https://youtu.be/0ucyaGDcRsg?si=gO4uMyS-oI5hD-bs

I caught a glimpse of this bass on Facebook. Super cool! Mudbucker at the neck is never a bad thing as far as I can tell. That bass roars pretty nicely.
