NBD!

[Super Bass]

Just picked up today a brand new 2018 Gibson Thunderbird! I have always loved them but I have never ever seen a left hand one in real life!

too cool for words

 

[Super Bass]

Well! I think so too!

I bought a brand new one last year, best made and set up bass I've ever owned, sounds killer too. I put Mike Lull pickups on it.

These things sustain forever, they can sound exactly like Entwistle. How was your set up?

The action feels great, plays nice. The intonation is off which I can fix when I put new strings on tomorrow and I did have to adjust the bridge pick up, but over all excellent...

Hi Super Bass

I have always loved them but I have never ever seen a left hand one in real life!

No problem!

Fixed that for you.

Great bird!!! Happy NBD!!!

Yay!!! A lefty T-Bird almost looks like a "normal" righty bass...in a perverse sort of way.

Looks gorgeous. I played a black left handed one in Sam Ash in New York. Was nice to see a good bass offered for us lefties.

Congratulations on your gorgeous new bass!! That is a thing of beauty. I have a pair that are both great playing basses. Check out the Thunderbird club. I hope you get years of great music from her.

Nice one, congats! Just wondering if it does neck dive?

Nice one, congats! Just wondering if it does neck dive?

Only in Australia and New Zealand due the coriolis effect and this being a left hand bass. In the right-side-up parts of the world the neck is actually held up by the same invisible forces. All true, I swear it.

Mine's a couple years old and has no neck dive at all and it's light (black one above)

This might be the best looking bass, there were only 2 of them here, shops didnt want to

Yes, also as i remember those basses are heavy. One of my friends used to have one, it was sounding awesome. I wasnt playing the bass at that time, so i havent asked any details of the bass I also remember it has a slightly longer neck with the headstock, because he told me that he had difficulty to find a proper gigbag other than his hardcase
