pictures of colour Thunderbird

Hi I have just bought a knock off Thunderbird ( Legacy ) thats Vintage Sunburst, as my P bass is also sunburst , I was wondering if you Thunderbird owners & lovers + Fenderbirds can post pictures of you basses. I want reds whites blue etc also if possible with the head ie do it match the body.
Thanks
 
Here ya go :)
Older Thunderbird usually have a black headstock regardless of the body color.........But not always, especially "stock" white ones.

Thanks for that TBIRD I love your white & Green ones, my wife would kill me if I had the bass painted green ( she just hates green )
The white Tbird pickgarud where did you get the black tbird ? thanks or is it a sticker ? thanks

Also any 1 with gold silver or blue tbirds ? thanks
 
I made those PG's, they're .060 styrene and were painted with an airbrush, the designs were carefully masked with graphic arts tape - I used lacquers and lots of glosscote over the top.

.........ok...........

there hasn't been one for a bit so..

Unfortunately for colors, I don't have too much of a selection.

AND UH, let's see a picture of your Legacy, cause I never saw one of those before I don't recall if I ever did.

Hi here is 1 picture of the Legacy they call subsonic http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff81/jazzbassrobert/?action=view&current=Picture109.jpg


( sold in Oz + other places) the bottom line stuff is about as good as ebay stuff no name but , mine the classic etc are asbout as good as SX etc
They have a Managhoy body full thickness ie no thin wings EMG pups standard bridge Daddario strings n-tune tunner ( I replaces allpots with switch)
& came with a hard vintage case to suit it. the head is same as a Thunderbird, also I got a tracing of a body from a Ephiphne TB & its exactall the same even holes for pots pups etc
Here in OZ they retail $700 Aus , but got it off ebay new no resurve $300.
These are the only pictures as my wife has the camera at the moment
