he has one also but a two pick-up TB4.

it's old and badly painted-thats all, no one did anything to it. it plays fine.

Sir Peter Overend Watts Gibson thunderbird is living in London where it is much loved and cared for by me. It is in full working order and very playable. The bad paint job with black headstock insert was done in the post Hoople ‘Mott' era. The paint has not stuck to the bass and is acting...

Hiya, Overend had a few thunderbirds, it’s hard to say which one this is. Martin turner of wishbone ash also has an old overend TB, but a two pick up TB4. The only photos I can find of overend with a TB4 are a sunburst one (in the early 70’s, Before this he used to play telecaster basses) he...
