I am going after another bass so must reluctantly list my Thunderbird Studio 5 String for sale. It was purchased here on TB. Here is a quote from the original seller:
"...I have wanted a Gibson Thunderbird Studio 5 for a very long time, but as you probably know they are next to impossible to find. Well... I found one and she is nearly perfect, and in my opinion a little better than stock. More on that in a bit."
"Weighs 10.2 pounds..."
"...The back has no discernible buckle rash, but it seems to have two small dings back there. Could have even come that way from the Gibson factory. The front is as perfect as it's going to get. The hard shell case is perfect inside. Locks work perfectly. The case exterior has a few marks."
"The back of the neck is normally painted on these basses. As you can see, the paint has been professionally stripped to the natural wood. The neck now feels like a bass neck should, and it's smooth and super fast. I consider this a wonderful upgrade. Never liked the feel of a painted neck..."
The going rate for these on here seems be around $900 - $1000 when the pop up for sale. I need a quick sale so am asking $850 shipped but please feel free to make a reasonable offer.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Please note that if the bass I am going after sells, I will likely pull this.
Here are the pics:
Thanks

OK, I could be interested. You are in the right 'price range' for me and this is NOT some piece of Jap stuff that won't (necessarily) hold it's value... not like an American instrument. I'm in So Cal and brand new to TB, so, in my mind, this is quite the find.
