For the ultimate Fenderbird ... get a Fender neck and you'll have a real Fenderbird, not just a copy of it. Let the games begin!!!

I like that original 1972 bridge.  I remember seeing all those 3 point bridges hanging on the wall on those nifty new reverse Thunderbirds back in 1972.  What memories.  I of course opted for the 1973 Victory bass with moog designed electronics, but things were different back then.

My 74 RD has the early Moog electronics too, although they temporarily gravitated away from the 3-point.  Its much easier to set the action as a result:




It sounds killer, mainly due to the two-dozen Orville pickups hidden inside.

Behave...!

Jim, that Tsunami of sarcasm ...

Gone now.  Did anyone here get it?

Not a bad deal- the pickups alone could probably fetch that price.

I knew that wouldn't last long  - ze culprit here step forth!!!

[Bionic-Joe]

If I was a drinkin' man...(Boy sometimes i wish i was!!!) I'd buy it!!! But I need 2 Orvilles. Thanks UWE!!!

[Denis]

I sure hope I won't regret that... 

[Hornisse]

You got it Denis?  If so that is cool!
