Jerry Flowers bassist for Keith Uban. I think that he modified a bit tho. Theaterbass could tell you the specifics on that.

I've seen the bass player for Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver (bluegrass gospel band) onstage with a Thunderbird.

non-rock thunderbirds

When they first came out they were used in pop.... Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs from the US, Merseybeats from the UK

Also the Chambers brothers (who were soul/funk/rock, depending on the year and song)

Struggling to think of any more recent examples

Big Sugar, a Canadian band that played blues/rock/reggae.

Garry Lowe played a Tbird quite a lot.... pretty cool to have an older Rasta guy playing bass in a loud rock band.
