And the only one you need! P neck on a Thunderbird body?
Love the heart-shape.

It's faithful reproduction of one John Entwistle played, all thunderbird electrics, and a Badbird II bridge. The neck is a bit wide for me, I'm on the lookout for a Jazz neck that I like, one day! It's a heavy thing but it sounds phenominal
That is just great!
John Entwistle used one of them in the early 70's, but he referred to it as a Fenderbird. Is it also known as a "Fenderbird"

My main bass, but only maple fingerboard.

Here are my Maples which I prefer over Rosewood and Ebony!
I'm back… My newest addition. She's super beautiful in the buff. All warm and roasted and everything… drool
Well it's got a friend in the picture--but my EB 3 Copy has a maple board.

I wish somebody around Pittsburgh stocked G&L. I haven't played one in a age. Hmm. Gotta check…
I like maple. I ordered my latest bass with it specifically because of the CITES restrictions on rosewood.
