Its almost like some Epiphone folks were stalking this thread...

Wow, I think you are right. I wonder if the inflated prices effect other sellers....I got my tabacco burst '76 for 1900 bills about 8 years ago, my buddies said I was crazy. I figured it would at least hold value.

Hmmm, I wonder what's up with all the vintage birds on ebay from Japan all the time? Been goin on for a few years I believe...big $$$ too.

OK, blues are not just for 7enders...my lil t-bird jr can play the blues too...

I hate "boomy" sounding bass, so I usually plug the ports on my SWR and Genz boxes. I use generic 1500 W Crown power amps and drive them with an Aguilar tone hammer preamp. I made a custom 410 box using car woofers years ago. It sounds the best but I am afraid to push it more than a few hundred...

I split town barely ahead of the hurricane, leaving my beloved thunderbirds to their fate. Had dreams of a '76 bird up in a tree surrounded by downed power lines. The horror, the horror. Anyway I woke up and my hotel room carpet is soaked from vertical rain on the window and I am guessing...

My baby bird sits in the mix so well I must have had a grin going on all nite Invalid Link Removed

Yep...an even cheaper version of the mustang, sure sounds (and looks) good.

The rare Gibson Thunderbird short scale bass shows up on the bay once in a while. Beautiful little bass. Mustangs are great as well

Big festival gig 2nite, get to sonically torture 1,000 victims.

Isn't it all about a certain state of mind?

I love that walnut finish

Never, ever play "Mustang Sally" on a thunderbird. Generally, they will need dental records. Do read and understand the thunderbird bass handbook. This is why you don't see that many t-bird players around. It's a matter of life and death.

Fact 242: The most interesting man in the world doesn't play bass. If he did..it would be a thunderbird.

From the Thunderbird Handbook "While strapped to a thunderbird bass, never suck on a juice box/straw"
