FS 2011 LIMITED EDITION GIBSON CHERRY THUNDERBIRD ONE MONTH OLD REDUCED TO $1,150!!

Sign in to disble this ad
**** REEEEEALLY R-E-D-U-C-E-D P-R-I-C-E!!!! **** NOW LOWERED TO ONLY $1,150.00 SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW FOR SALE IN BEAUTIFUL BARELY PLAYED CONDITION FOR $1,150.00!!!! shipped to your USA doorway!

FOR SALE ONLY - NO TRADES.
USA BUYERS ONLY PLEASE


I just bought this beautiful Limited run Cherry Gibson Tbird from Sweetwater sound about 1 short month ago.
It sells for $1,599 plus shipping on the website.
And sells for this price anywhere you can actually find one in stock.
These where a limited edition for 2011 by Gibson.
Here is the link to the Gibson website to check out more on the bass and actual specs as well.

Gibson.com: Gibson Thunderbird IV Bass Limited

Something a bit more cool than the normal vintage burst finish they always have around.

I am letting go of it based upon a VERRRRRY heavy dose of U.S. Lakland G.A.S.!!!!
I just bought my first U.S. Lakland and badly want my 2nd one...
So I need let go of two basses and this is one of them.
I wanted to have a Tbird in the stable and someday might again. But for the moment I have a deal in the works for a U.S. Lakland Decade that is keeping me awake at night ....hahaha!!

So this is a chance to buy one of these LE Gibson Birds for a great price. I might have played this for an hour in my home since it was delivered to me new from Sweetwater. At about $350 or more off the price....plus they are now out of stock. I bought their last one.

When I bought this new from Sweetwater, they disclosed there was a minor tiny factory finish glitch near the pickup.
I bought it regardless, it is not a big thing honestly...
But I am disclosing it as well. It is a verrrry small area right bumped up next to the pup, that looks like a little glitch in the finish.
If interested in the bass to purchase, I will try to take some macro close up pics to send over....
Right now with the holidays , it is hard to set basses up for pics honestly...
With this nytro cellulose finish Gibson uses, there were some fine fine FINE little marks in various spots....maybe from when their "tech" set it up for me? I dunno?
But this finish is very prone to these light light markings...Nytro finish seems to be very soft! .I hear there is an amazing polish and cleaner called virtuoso out there for sale...I was planning on buying this to remove any of the cleaning marks these things get....

The 3 studio photos posted ARE OF THE EXACT BASS!
These 3 images are the bass for sale and came from the Sweetwater sound website.
They take their basses out of the case, and shoot them, then post the exact bass they are listing for sale.
The other pics I snapped in my home.


PM me with any questions...will be checking this thread and the talkbass site several times through the day for fast replies. Check my perfect feedback as a seller and buyer here...I also have over 650 positive feedback over on feebay as well

Here she is:








PM me with questions, thanks and happy holidays!!

================================================== ===================
UPDATE: 12-29-2011
Just snapped these pics quickly in the living room earlier this afternoon.
I know they are not the best, but they show the bass in my home in addition to the studio shots of the actual bass Sweetwater had taken that I posted above in this thread. thanks for looking.

I will do my best to make time to shoot the bass in my home tomorrow...

when I bought the bass brand new from sweetwater.com like a month ago, I grabbed the pics off their site to show off the bass. My sales guy assured me they are my bass and that they take the basses out of the cases to snap pics and put them back in the cases till sold.
This is the last 2011 limited edition cherry Gibson tbird they had. they will be getting no more , as gibson is out of them.

they sell everyday on the online stores for $1,599.99 plus shipping and sometimes sales taxes.
Not many left out there..

these are stunning Tbirds...
I just want another US Lakland and so this one is being let go of to partially fund the US Lakland purchase.
My asking price is awesome for this baby.

I only played this in my home office/studio for under an hour tops!

will take more pics of it tomorrow and post them up.

Ugh......Wouldn't you rather sell this around the second week of Febuary. Just seems like that would be a MUCH better time to sell.

Well honestly, have not had time to even play it...let alone bond.

And soooooooo, letting go of this one and will be listing at least one other amazing bass ....maybe more

G.A.S. is a crazy thing

JUST listed her on feebay.
Price is reduced to allow for a great deal for someone here!
Need to move this baby, have a US Lakland waiting for payment.
Thus the cheap price for a beautiful Cherry finish LE Bird!!
Feebay is a buy it now...so get it while it is here to get.
