As it happens yes they do  ;D I'm no attorney, I don't need to  have a rational argument to buy a bass  ;)

Buy it for me then.  :-\ Email me with what you need, you evil temptator.

And to think that about a year ago I thought that the kolleckshün would die the death of becoming obsolete for lack of new models. Obviously not. There hasn't been a year in history where Gibson brought out as many new models, not even in the 2007 GoW phase.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.

"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." I must remember this ! One cherry Thunderbird on hold for Uwe.  :toast:

 All very well and good but will it dive bomb?

Got that too, sounds and plays very nicely, thank you, and the translucent cherry with the nine-ply-construction shimmering through is a sight to behold. Whether is sounds different to other modern TBirds I have, remains to be seen. Playing it yesterday night a home and not very loud I detected some Jazz Bass-on-front-pup-only-character, but maybe the fact that I had my candy-cola JB in view while playing the TB twisted my mind a little!!!  :mrgreen:
