The only issue is that there was some funny business....some type of repair on the top of the body near the control cavity..between the vol/tone knobs and the jack. Otherwise, unbroken.

Don't tell Scott...

Yeah...but the pickguard and tuners aren't right...Refin/broken headstock?? Who knows...Love them Thunderbirds!!!

You have to make your own judgments about anything on GC's website. Chances are slim that you'll be able to talk to anyone who can give you an accurate answer.

That's VERY True. It was Like Pulling teeth but I did get some pics texted to me...It looks ok except like I said that repair on the VOL/TONE hack area. No broken Headstock which is a Bonus!! Still...seems like $8,000 is a lot for an imperfect bass in this economy. Thoughts anyone???

...seems like $8,000 is a lot for an imperfect bass in this economy.

Especially for someone who never misses a chance to say how broke he is and already owns two very similar basses.

I called on that one when it first appeared on the guitar center site too.  At first was told it had no repairs and pushed them on the black painted corner.  Got someone else on the phone and was told it the control cavity had been "repaired somehow" and lost interest at that point not knowing how bad it could have been.  $8K just seems like a lot for damaged bass and a repair that got covered with black paint...who knows whats under there.

$8k is ridiculous in any case...

That red NR was posted here before so GC has had it for a while. The only way I'd be tempted for that kind of money is if it was an original paint Inverness Green NR.

$8K isn't a bass, it's a used car.  Ridiculous in any economy.

Definitely ridiculous in the post-2008 economy.

This looks like a much cleaner 64 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-Gibson-Thunderbird-II-Bass-/171097217960?pt=Guitar&hash=item27d6305ba8 and a II

And it's a II, yummy!

Where the heck have I been? That nr looks familiar has it been for sale for a bit?

[pilgrim9]

It has been teasing me on e bay for a month at least.
