trans cherry Thunderbird
« on: October 21, 2011, 08:46:07 PM »
I stopped by the HOG today and there it was the new trans cherry 2011 Thunderbird. I picked it up on the way to the studio, recording tonight. I have had not much time with her, very pretty and plays great. Pics tomorrow. I must have just missed Bill (drbasman)  ;D

Don't worry, Ken, he gets rid of the ones that don't work for him.

Darn!  I had to get back to work, so I was there maybe 10 minutes.  I saw the bass and it was pretty!  I did go ahead and cave on the big cherryburst LP and told Kurt to hold it for me.  Man, I am so weak.  Just like some other folks I know!!!!   :P

One of these times when I'm at the HOG and have some slack, I'll stop by your house and see if I can catch you.

Bill Congrats on the little blue guy! Stop by or call anytime. I have been super busy with work and the band has been at GFI Studio all weekend, we are getting great results, the engineer is fantastic and we are driving him nuts with our old school ways. ;D The bass sounds mammoth I can't wait to post something. I have have to be back at noon today. I really didn't need this bird but the finish is sooooooooooooooo beautiful , really Uwe you should reconsider your not collecting for finishes rule. ;) a few pics along with Uwe's gold top LP.

Sweet!  The year Gibson decides to start making some really cool basses and I can only afford one :(   Was this a custom ordered cherry finish, or will this be available as a regular color option?

Looks a bit like the Nikki Sixx Signature to me ... Is this satin as well or gloss?

Now THAT looks good with black hardware! Black 'guard might be in order too. The LP needs to go on a diet...  8)
