Details

Just wondering if there would be any interest in this bass. It's a 1987 Gibson Q-80 Custom Shop. I believe it's a maple neck, and the fretboard is ebony, the body is mahogany. It's heavy! All black finish, including the neck, black tuners. Comes with original hard shell case.

**Pictures and video below**

Let's say $450 shipped.

It's 1 5/8'' at the nut.

Think of a thick humbucker sound, and the mahogany gives it a bump in the low mids. (It's dead quiet btw) Sounds really good with my fulltone bassdrive. Completely stock. The bridge is a little bent up btw, but is completely stable.

here's a goofy video made with a digital camera, and then compressed for youtube, haha. don't hate on the playing, just wanted to get the tone out there. It's through a LMII and an Aguilar S210.

Is this the bass that basically had Thunderbird guts? If I had the funds I would get this in a second. I love the T-Bird sound but could never get used to the headstock dive.

I'm not sure if its got the Thunderbird guts, but it sounds like punchy mid-bump humbuckers as thunderbirds are described. PM replied!

Any plans to head into or through Charlottesville in the future? Heck, how do your Monday's look, maybe I could hire you on bass one night for my weekly guitar trio gig, that'd be a good chance to check out the bass...

Actually monday nights are rough for me. I have class during the day, and meetings at night! Charlottesville is only an hour away, I wouldn't mind meeting you in Staunton which is approx halfway.
