Gibson Thunderbird IV

Ahhh.....that's an old shot!
Here's a couple that kind of update things as far as my 'Birds go. I guess for lack of a better word you can call it a collection, but that sometimes would imply that I don't play these basses......They all go out to shows. Perhaps one day I'll get a 60's 'Bird, but for now if I want that sound I play my Lull because it's pick up is an exact recreation of the original Gibson. And to that end I'm almost done retro fitting the Nikki Sixx Mk.II bass with Lull's pups so I should have the 60's tone without the cost of one.

Here are some.......

The Lull, his first production 'Bird and the only single pick one produce so far, it's featured on his website.
