Hey; looks like theres room for a mudbucker

Serious LOL @ that random knob cluster.

[patman]

That needs to be loved.

[Basvarken]

I saw it on Facebook.
That is going to take serious luthier skills to get that one back in shape!

[Highlander]

Scott... you and me... off the hook... BIG time off the hook...

[tore00]

About 2000$. Wonder if it is worth.

[Basvarken]

Scott could pull it off

[Pilgrim]

I appreciate the industrial look of the electrical box on the back.

Manufactured, no doubt, by "WTF Industries."

[Basvarken]

Bet it cures the neck dive   

[D.M.N.]

While my first response was "Jesus Christ, WHY", my follow up is rip those Alembics out, give it two proper 'Bird buckers, slam a EB-0 bucker at the neck and let that mother rip. Use one of the silly knob holes as a second output jack, stereo Thunderbird.

Tempted... Thats just a (long) stone throw from where I live!

[Denis]

The grotesque locations of the knobs bothers me almost as much as all those pickups!

[Blackbird]

NSFW.

As a proudly mono-lingual member of society, I had to enter the description of the mods into Google Translate:
"The body has been refreshed and received a throat"

Haha, I'll translate for you:

"Now you have the chance to buy what some call the worlds best bass ever, Gibson Thunderbird '64!

Most of the times a regular mortal being would'nt afford to buy this kind of classic piece but considering previous owners
earlier period modifications this one can be yours at a bit more modest price.

Modifications:
-Body routed for added neck pickup.
-Active electronics.
-Alembic pickups (probably 80's) instead of the originals.

The bass has a repairment where the headstock meats the neck just like most old Thunderbirds.

Sold as is.

Price: 15000:- or highest offer.
Shipping possible.
