Nice '76 Thunderbird on ebay

Looks nice the description makes me want to run away though............................Claims his friend is holding the bass and he is just listing it. WTF? Looks like it has 60's pups or maybe Orvilles?

BTW, that's a REALLY nice just above the repaired break shot of the back of the headstock.

I bought it. Its a very nice bass, one of the best necks I played. No breaks, real pick ups.... I spoke to the seller before purchase...

Hi, and welcome to the Outpost.

What about those pickups? They don't look like '76 pups.

May I recommend a tasteful refin?

Welcome to the outpost and as you see I still have what you sold!

That should be winging it's way across the ocean to me! Either that or you change your wardrobe and play it out a lot

With real pickups you mean 60's pickups? Welcome Kevin!

godofthunder · April 06, 2011, 03:17:56 PM

Glad it worked out for you Kevin!

Hey...isn't that the 76 thunderbird bass I got from you a year or so ago for the P-Bass? You traded me a T bird with Orville's that was Petersson's??? I sent you the Stripped P bass??? Small world. I think I sold it to a guy in california.

Bought my first ever T-Bird from Kebo. Welcome bro.

Baz - Its funny, I thought this was my old bass (that I sold you) that I was buying back.. Oh I loved that bass.... Its not but its oh so close. If im not mistaken, that was the bass that when I had it had EMGs in it? BTW - what did you end up putting in there, I think you ripped out the EMGs.. The pups in there now are late 60s chrome cover ones.. The bass is really silly, I think Im gonna use this one for a while.

I just remember that sunburst '76 that had the Orville pickups in it. Sounds like a fun bass!
