Details

This is a somewhat rare Gibson Thunderbird bass with natural nitro finish and ebony fingerboard. Bass was made at Nashville plant in 2001. Weighs 8 lbs 4 oz.

I upgraded with a nickel hip shot bridge, hip shot tuners, and Thunderbucker Ranch 66 pickups. The nickel has a nice patina that at matches the vintage aesthetic of the bass. Gives it the ‘76 bicentennial vibe, but I’m including the original black hardware and pickups if you want to change back to OEM.

*I don’t have a hard case for this, so I prefer a local sale in the San Francisco Bay Area but I’m willing to ship*

Other than the scratch near the upper volume knob, that looks nice. Nikki has one finished like that.

Nah it definitely still looks nice even with that but to each their own! That’s more of a small dent, not a scratch or chip. I actually never even noticed it but suppose I’m not the type that would unless it was on a brand new bass. But yes it’s a player’s bass for sure with 22 years of mojo!

Goodness.

With the tuner and bridge swap have you mitigated the neck dive almost completely??

Entertaining trades at all?
