Details

I'm downsizing the collection to fund some other interests. Up for offer is my 2006 Gibson Thunderbird. Comes with original hard shell case. Buyer pays shipping - to CONUS only. It's been played a lot, showing scratches and wear in the nitro. Sounds killer, plays great. Right around 8 1/2 lbs on my bathroom scale. There are several upgrades that really make this bass the most it can be (original pickups/hardware is long gone):

Loller T-bird Pickups (best T-bird pickups I've ever heard!)
Babicz Bridge (No explanation needed. Best aftermarket 3 point bridges out there)
Hipshot Lightweight Tuners with Drop-D De-tuner (Solves the neck-dive that T-birds are known for and allows for drop D on the fly!)
Ernie Ball Strap Locks (To keep you from dropping your stuff!)

This is a rock and roll machine!

$1700 - Buyer pays shipping - CONUS

Chrome hardware, too. You are a man of good taste. Of course it shows signs of wear. It should. Its new owner will make sure it shows more signs of wear.

Agreed. You will be hard pressed to find a TBird with these upgrades, at this price.

No bites yet though???? C'mon rockers, you know you want it!!!!
