NBD: 7 Years Later...

[tyohars]

So, I'm dreaming about owning a Thunderbird since 2014. But many things steer me away from those bass. Finally I got the chance to buy new with used price. Actually I don't like the alpine white finish. Wanting an ebony or burst but there's one to find here. After weeks of consideration and with the help from people of Thunderbird club, I pull the trigger. So, this is me on 2014:

And this is my new bass

Most basses are wood inside.

White painted basses are awesome.

That's gotta feel good - To fall in love with a model and fiend for it for 7 years, only to finally have YOURS in your hands .
Plus, the "then/now" photos are a nice touch.

In my humble opinion, the white finish looks great on that bass. I'd maybe change out the pickguard for a splash of color, but it looks pretty durn good as it is. Hope it brings you the sound and the joy you've waited for .
Congrats!

Congratulations, beautiful bass the white looks great!

I always avoided white finishes on guitars and basses until I saw a friend on stage playing his Olympic White Jazz bass. That changed my opinion, I get white color basses now.
Congratulations, yours looks great!

A black pickguard on that bass, making a contrast between the body and the headstock, would look very, very nice!

i think that's a great looking ax! you're the big winner if the neck feels good to play, and if you like the sound of it --- congratulations on your new instrument!

 

[DirtDog]

While I do appreciate the burst Thunderbird, the white specimen is outstanding.

Im a big Oly White/Vintage white fan. With red tort. Have a couple of guitars and basses in that livery and want more!

 

[The Bass Abides]

That's awesome! I'm super jealous! I need to get my hands on one of those T-Birds in white! Well done!

 

[lancimouspitt]

I love my thunderbird as well.
Great for recording.
