This is like my first car when I turned 16. Same color but no vinyl top. Wish I had never sold it!!

Greetings T-bird lovers! Hope your all having a fantastic morning! Quick update and asking for guidance..... I decided to keep the bridge on my T-bid to cover/fill the holes that were in it after the original modifications. I got it powder coated black to match the original 3-point bridge I put...

I feel ya! I'm about 30 minutes away. Sadly, I wont be the new owner either.

I'm looking at several Thunderbird models and in a lot of cases only see minor differences. I'm wondering if the differences are factory revisions or if they have been modified. Is there a good resource that provides a description of the differences between each Thunderbird bass model?

Awesome, thanks!

I couldnt find anything on the bridge pieces to identify them. No stampings or numbers of any kind. It appears to be vintage or at least well used. Someone asked about the intonation on it yesterday. It is not adjusted correctly. I havent really tried to make any adjustments because I really...

It looks like it uses the stock screw holes to me.

Took some more pics last night. Let me know what you think.

Thanks TBird1958! Glad to be part of the club! I didnt realize the mod on my bass would cause such a stir. I'm trying to figure it out too. I dont understand why you would mod a practically new bass. But everyone has different taste. I'll get some better pics and post them later. Hopefully...
