As I said before, I just purchased this from another TB'er, and it's in the same condition I received it except I moved the neck side strap button. I can move it back to the original position and fill the hole or leave it as-is per the buyer's request. The original strap button hole has the screw and a nylon washer to prevent the hole getting messed up.
The bass plays great, and has very minimal neck dive. It stays more or less horizontal with hands off with the strap button in either location. Includes Duncan dual-design strap locks and the original Gibson strap buttons.
The sound is pure rock - nice hot passive pickups with that unmistakable Thunderbird thump. I love the sound but it's not going to get played in my current band, sadly.
Includes super-cool white plush lined Gibson hardshell case, warranty paperwork, case candy, etc.

The last one on eBay sold for
$1100 plus $90 shipping.
I'm asking $975 plus shipping. This bass is probably too big to ship internationally and it doesn't come apart, so US / Canada sales only at this time. I'm fine with PayPal.
As for trades, the only thing I might be interested in at this time is a hollowbody - DeArmond or Guild Starfire, Epiphone Rivoli or Casady, all + / - cash.
