Thunderbird II single pickup 1986 question

I'll get killed for this here, but for me a Non-Rev is not a TBird, full stop. And those instruments do dive, yes. Also, the Revs "lean forward", but that is why you have those strong, manly and hairy hands of yours, honey. 

With a Ric or a TBird, neck-thru is the defining factor for me above all else - if a bass looking like a 4001/4003 or a TBird doesn't have that feature, it's an impostor to me.

And don't tell me you don't hear the difference: If you play legato in the mid region of the neck - 7th fret and upwards -, there is a world of a difference how the tone develops, both in your ears and hands.

You play above the 7th fret?    Weirdo!

LOL! Totally off topic, but years ago, Scott Ian of Anthrax had a guitar made that was fretless from like the 12th fret up because he was strictly rhythm.

If you could have seen the ugly redneck chick he was trying to nail when I saw them in 2004-5 when he had Meatloaf's hot daughter at home, you would understand.

I guess some guys never grow out of that.
