Hörnisse?

I just can't get used to that bridge arrangement.  Wish they'd gone with the old style bridge.

Just like mine..................

Loudest, hottest pick up on ANY bass ever!

It'll rip your face off. You can alway replace the 3 point with one of Scott's replacements.
I think they're kinda rare.
If I didn't already have one I'd be all over it!

Unfortunately I'm not in the market for basses right now otherwise I'd buy it. $850 may seem high for a copy but there are two things that elevate these from the usual Grecos you see. It's a II of course, but also it's a 70's model and extremely close to the real thing, soundwise. I put Scott's bridge on mine and it actually intonated fine. The G string is about as close to the end of travel as it can be, but it still works just the same.

Hmmmmmmmmm, I may have to check it out since it is in South Austin.

For the $$$$ that's the best Thunderbird out there, the pick up knocks the socks off of anything else. Rawr!

[Stjofön Big]

A real beauttty! But I just found two JBL L112, newly renovated, for my home speakers, and at a good price. That's where any extra money is going!

That's a beauty! Who made the pickups for those Grecos?

[Lightyear]

Birdie?

[TBird1958]

 I'm told by Mike Lull that Paul Chandler designed that pick up for them, based on a '60s Gibson - What I know is that as a single pup bass these are fantastic, simple instuments for esp good for rock, the set neck tightens the tone up some over a standard Gibson and it sounds great played fingerstyle or with a pick. As value vs $$$ goes these are really hard to beat, the QC is real good and it's very study, really a work horse bass.

[Dave W]

I've never played any model of Greco bird but this one sure is a beauty.

These are the 32" scale ones... did I remember that right?
