Another Sunburst NR II ...

[stiles72]

They just keep coming -  this one was up for sale on the bay a while back. Looks like this time around they re-installed the original bridge and knobs.

Seems that Tbird owners get in financial binds, maybe.

Cracked pickguard, finish checking, Badass holes - BAH!  This one is a wreck!

[drbassman]

I'm interested!  Might jump in on this one if it doesn't go too high.

Certainly a statistical cluster what we are experiencing here, I haven't seen that many Non Revs in a long time. But it is still puzzling that Non Revs get sold and old sixties Revs obviously not. Perhaps because Non Revs are ugly. As hell. : - )

They've grown on me since I've been here...

Is this the one where someone raised concerns re the body around the volume control...?

At least there's no reserve...

Perhaps a noobish question on my part, but should the pup on Thunderbird II have a ring?

[the mojo hobo]

No,l it shouldn't. Someone brought that up the last time we saw it.

[dadagoboi]

the last time we saw it.

Was it pulled last time or didn't it meet reserve?

[the mojo hobo]

It had an opening bid of $4000.00 and nobody bid.

The serial numbers on these two basses are very close. 510056 and 510060. Could they have been built together?

Behave... you have enough on the go as it is... excess GAS is bad for your wealth...

[godofthunder]

Oh but think of my estates auction when I'm gone. 

[Highlander]

Hmm... the tax implication...?
