Hey guys, Carmine here! I don't know if you remember me from the DudePit or not, but I was the guy with the extensive collection including Lefty Gibson EB-3s among other things. that had joined fairly recently? Since the pit has had so many "issues", I was wondering what happened to everybody. I was surprised to find a post today over there than said Uwe and co. were over here, so here I am.

The Greco Suzi Quatro Thunderbird you're talking about is mine. The only reason I'm letting this go is that I'm left handed, so I can't/ don't really play it other than in my home studio. The cash is going toward a lefty Rick. That said, this is really an excellent bass in every respect; build quality is a 10+, tone is killer, and looks- it's a rare beauty that's got it all going on my friends, just like Suzi. :-* 

There is no question it's worth every bit of the "Buy It Now" and then some.  If Krist Novoselic had played one of these instead of it's "sister" bass- the Ibanez Black Eagle- this would easily be worth a couple grand. I have both and it certainly kicks the Eagles ass in every regard.

If I were a Thunderbird freak I don't know how you could not lust after this; it's a perfect compliment to your everyday Bird, sounds great but different, and it's a pretty safe bet that you will be the only one wearing one at the next gig.
