FOUND gibson thunderbird, maple

gruda · #1 10-29-2009, 09:53 PM

Today someone came in to the shop and handed this to me and said "It looks expensive I think it someone lost it."

Well if this was the bass you lost PM with serial, year and a picture of the bass, and the certain wood grain pattern defect. so I can verify you own it!

Whoever lost this bass really is lucky the bass is in prefecto shape, and your hardshell case is still intact, I will ship it to you free.

That is absolutely amazing. I hope you remembered to document the individual's details that brought that bass into the shop. Hmmm...wonder where he "found" it.. did he say?

A maple Thunderbird?

And technically speaking he stole this from the venue... unless he owns the place. Someone might go looking for it next week.

That's an almost new bass. The Epiphone pro (in ^^^) just hit the stores in late June/early July.

I think they did another run of those several years back cuz a buddy of mine has a maple Epi NT 'Bird and he's had it for years.

Either way I'm sure somebody's freaking out right now wondering where it is.

I don't know that they ever made a Gibson that looked quite like the Epi at the top of the pic you posted. Or that they ever used maple for a body wood (guitar, yes, bass...???)

They offered a zebrawood T bird a few years ago (lighter body color), that was beautiful, but is also quite rare...

...just trying to help others get a visual of the bass you're holding...
