Whoa!

Are those really worth that kind of $$$ now?!
Don't get me wrong I love the one I have - I just had no idea they were fetching that kind of money.

It's gBase. Almost every guitar or bass I've seen there is priced higher than what a similar one has sold for on eBay. Sometimes way higher.

Ah yes,

The artificial inflation of gBase!   ;)

The Grecos have sold pretty well over the past few years, but that's 'way high.

For the $$$ (not gBase but real selling price) Greco's are IMO the best Thunderbird out there.

The IIs are very rare.  I would have thought $1K was a fair price.

This one was also really clean. I have to second the Fraulein. I love my '77 II. It's a great sounding bird.

In the "classic" seller's pose...............My Sexy Thunderbird II, mine was $649.00 plus 3 day shipping $150.00. Great bass for the money. A big tip of the wig to George ( 69 Vette ) for clueing me into what great basses these are  ;D

Dammit Baz, why do you do that to me! I can't afford a new bass right now and that one is exactly what I'd want at a great price.  :o
