blue Thunderbirds not popular in Japan?

[Aussie Mark]

Orville bluebird only $450 plus shipping.  For some reason the rare blue one is cheaper than the 'burst ones.

Dammit!



I want that!


You're killin' me Mark



I'm SO weak.......I sent them an email about it, but it may not happen because the total price may not meet the minimum for an overseas sale......We'll see.

That is a nice blue, I have to say.

In that case you should also buy the white Orville they are selling, to ensure the price minimum is reached ! LOL

Nice Orville.

But when I hit the link I see this:





Does that mean the Blue Orville is sold already?
Did you get it Mark?

[Bionic-Joe]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[Aussie Mark]

Rob, the links change all the time apparently as they add new stock.

Go to http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/u_box/ and type Orville into the first search field and both the white and blue birds are still there

[TBird1958]

Nothing back from them as of this a.m.

That's a great price on one of those I'd really like to have it, we'll see 

[Bionic-Joe]

The blue one ROCKS!!! But the white one is actually a better bass. No difference really except the Orville by Gibson are sprayed with Lacquer as oppossed to the Orvilles that are urethane and have rings. I think both are REALLY Cool!!!!

[Iome]

whats the extra pot?

[gearHed289]

WOW! I like that bass. I just bought a Geddy Lee Jazz, so this is a no go for me. 

[chromium]

Man that's tempting.  Looks good in that color!

[uwe]

What is that extra knob below the other three reg ones for? That modification (which I hasten to declare as inoffensive!) probably explains the lower price. Might even be a refin (not that it matters, to me at least).

[TBird1958]

Ermmmmmm....................................


If I may quote our esteemed Herr Moderator "Collecting for fins is sin"

I don't hold to this, having unremorsefully collected for fins many times.

And an extra knob could be fun.

if you are "forced" to buy them both i may be interested in the orphan
