Title: Going to check out a white '91 Tbird
Post by: Denis on April 18, 2014, 01:15:36 PM
Price is low and includes the hardshell case. Worth the 2 hour drive for the asking price.

White Bird = Sexy, even more so with chromey bits  ;D

I agree.  And Mark is right - needs some shine  :P  I would ditch those tasteless, sound killing black plastic pups for something more fitting.

This morning I was 40 minutes into the 2 hour drive and got a text message from the woman I spoke to last night saying that someone at the store sold it without her knowledge.
I was like " damn it, my name was on it for today and I've already left". She said she was sorry.

I was pissed.

I hate it when that happens! Not much you can do though.

That sucks!  >:(  At least she called you before you drove all the way there though.

Luckily it wasn't a completely wasted trip since I brought a guitar case to drop off at a friend's house in Greensboro.
I guess now I can say that the pawn shop which posted the add only wanted $525 for that Thunderbird.

Crap, what a drag!!!  I have one just like it (it's a 2003, I think) and gigged with it last month.  I love that bass!  It's turned creamy white already and it's a beauty.  Hang in there, maybe another will pop up soon.

Mine's reallly changed color over the years too, when I bought it I wasn't that happy about it's being white ( I really wanted a black one at that point) but bought it because it was the first T Bird Id seen anywhere in Seattle for many years.

 Had the same thing happen to me with a beautiful Klira bass on Reverb.com  .  We emailed back and forth over the weekend and mid day Easter Sunday  we settled on a price and I told him I would pay first thing Monday. I go to pay and the offer is gone. I emailed him and he said his brother in law came over for dinner saw the bass and had to have it. Huh? Thought we had a deal. I'll live I have three Kliras already.

Easily remedied, everything is available from bridge to pup covers, tuners and handrest.
