My '79 Thunderbird's headstock with Gotoh Resolite Tuners (no more neck dive!). Amazingly this one's neck seems to be unbroken despite definitely taking a few shots!

That sure reminds me of the one I just refinned. Those are great looking tuners!

Great picture I'm wondering if these tuners would fit my Epi Tbird pro?

Those tuners look HUGE on there.

No, they are the exact size as vintage Klusons and only fit big headstocks.

oh what the heck My unbroken '77 find from GC for 800 bucks and my newly acquired G.O.T. signature bass from Cataldo basses.

[TBird1958]

Let's have a festive color today, something in keeping with the season. Sure glad those Mayans were wrong


An unbroken true '76, refinned in 7Up Green by Mike Lull, this bass was a complete wreck (other than the neck) when I bought it as BassNW.

On the ninth day of Christmas TBird gave to me a green 76, a classic white IV, an 8 string non-reverse, a surf green Orville, a Purrrrrple Gib-by, the first Lull T4, a rare Greco II, a red Fenderbird, and a green Jackson 93

I just dug out my Epiphone IV after not playing it for a good 3 or 4 years. Gave it a full setup, cleaned it extenstively, whacked some new Rotosounds on it, moved the strap pin to fix the balance... boom. Here's an action shot, I don't have any "arty" ones currently:
