Ok - I know this isn't a bass - though it would make a nice compliment to a Cardinal Red NR Thunderbird .. or maybe a Cardinal Red Bachbird ??   ;)

Just finished repairing a headstock crack on this Firebird - - 1965 Firebird 3 in factory Cardinal Red - a screaming beastie of a guitar !!!

Nice one! I love the 3-P90 nonrevs. Especially in white.

The P90 ones look so mean. The coolest Firebirds IMO. That one is really good looking.

I believe the P-90 one are the rarer ones?

My fav firebird, rare reverse headstock

Nice job on the crack!

You're pushing me here!  :gay:
Seriously tho, that is one beautiful guitar (non-reverse) but then again all Firebirds are SO cool.

I've recently looked at a great recent Custom Shop NR Firebird for sale in San Antonio. And it's reasonably priced at $1,500. But I can't justify paying that much for another guitar (not that GAS ever needs justification).

Why is it that even the most well-intentioned and innocent remarks get dragged into the damp and slime-clad cavernous abyss of Mark's mind ...  :rolleyes:

But since we're at it: I've been complimented for this type of work before.  ;)

Just thought it was kind of a given here  ;)  Isn't an aybss a large empty space..........

   I have very little self restraint and trying to *carefully* match wits with you is challenging Uwe. I dull myself regularly with alcohol, while you, being a good German probably keep sharp with the occasional glass of wine. Cheers.

Last time I had red wine I kinda *overdid* it.........spent most of the next day on my hands and knees talking to God on my big white telephone  :-X
