Pictures! 2012 Gibson Non Reverse Thunderbird

[godofthunder]

 All I have.

[Nocturnal]

The 3-point doesn't look all that out of place on there. It wouldn't stop me from buying one. I'd probably swap out the 3rd knob and the input jack tho, just for personal reasons.

[godofthunder]

 Yeah I'll do the same with the controls!

[Lightyear]

Aw crap!!   I shouldn't have looked    We need to replace my wife's car very soon so we're really cutting back on every kind of spending to minimize what we need to borrow - excluding the house we've been debt free for about five years now.  That and we're helping the princess with her graduate degree as well.  We're not poor - just flat broke

Still, maybe I could sell a bass, maybe sell some blood........

C(h)ruciomify me, but I think the black hardware looks great on the blue meanie, mucho better than chrome. And the three point makes for an altogether more uncluttered look.

Scott, you have my decision, I'd like a blue one!!! Shall I transfer money to you?

It's cool but...........


That Explorer calls me a bit more, but I this year's bass $$$ are already spent on refinning the '77 and the new pups for the '89.

I will no doubt regret not getting one

I just put my name on a blue one. The only thing I would change would be to have the headstock match the body color. The control arrangement is familiar to me, just like my carvins.

Thanks Scott for letting us know about these.

[uwe]

But even the original Non Revs were not all matching headstock color.

I like that "drooping" controls set up because it follows the body shape. And if it's the tone control, then it even makes sense, I always get confused which is which!

[godofthunder]

 Uwe let me reserve one at the HOG for you ,wait on the $ I don't have a price yet.

Dang, I can't see the pics on my Blackberry. Scott, can you pm them to me?

[Dave W]

It's okay, I guess. I love the shape and I'm used to black pickups but the black hardware is a turnoff. And I'm not a chrome fanatic either.

Not meaning to dampen anyone's enthusiasm, especially since house remodeling is taking all my spare dough, but if I could only buy one new bass, I'd buy one of Carlo's NR II Birds with a Thunderbucker before I'd buy one of these.

I'm flattered Dave, Thanks!  Just got Scott's pickguard and Badbird tailpiece to mount on his NR.  The tailpiece is beautiful, great nickel plating and exactly correct dimensions.  Now if the humidity would dip below 85% for a few days...

Hey Gibson is copying BaCH! But they screwed up in a few places

The custom colors all had matching headstocks.
