The FedEx man was nice enough to deliver an Alpine White Thunderbird IV in Mint Condition. The first time I saw Twiggy Ramirez hoding his Classic white Gibson one and looking like a Zombie Transvestite, I knew that I wanted to play bass. These pics suck, but they are indeed pics.

Yes, its an epiphone, but the guy that I bought it from slapped the gibson Truss rod cover on there, and I decided to leave it.

Congrats!!!!

If you have $591 + shipping + customs(probably), here's an Orville with the 60's look. From my experience, the pickups sound like the 1976 ones.
It won't last long IMO.

As far as I know, its just a normal truss rod cover. The guy I bought it from said he only played it once or twice(and I believe him because of its condition) and he put it on because he thought it looked cooler than the Epiphone one. The holes are in the same spot and its the same size as the original one. It doesnt appear to be modified in any way.
