Is this not one of the coolest TBird photos ever?
Overend Watts' (Mott The Hoople's bassist with the coolest stage name) old Tbird from the 60s-70s videos....and that's NOT a Gibson Custom Shop "relic" job

I'm pretty sure that bass now belongs to a TBer, I didn't realize it was looking quite so.......used.

Sorta on-topic question... Was Aerosmith's song Mama Kin recorded with a T-Bird or something else (like a P Bass)?
'66 non-reverse II in original Frost Blue, greened out over time. I've had her since 1973 and she was my only bass for the next ten years. She's got a lot of great gig stories to tell!
Bird is the word! You can see a bit of the unfaded, original color in the crook where neck meets body

Yowza! That bass is one of the reasons I became a T-bird man in the first place. Somebody here owns it??? Call me if you *ever* want to sell!
there is a nice Dillion all black Tbird in the TB classifieds as well as ebay this week.
Good price, but I own enough tbirds already and can honestly say If I had the cash I would have bought it already. He has it in the TB classifieds for 300, a good deal for Tbird lovers who want something different than a Gib or EPi. check it out if your interested and give him a PM.

I think you got a couple of weeks on me Gary - Mine will get a white pearloid PG and a Lull pickup as well.
Meantime I've been making do with these relatively new 'Birds
Hey this is a little off topic but i was wondering what was under the bridge of that first bass? I've seen some other basses with them but never found out what they were.
thats the famous and stupid pinky rest for the NikkiSixx bass, called opti-grab by Gibson.

Yup! and when I change the hardware on this bass to chrome.........It'll get plated too!
I should NOT have said stupid Mark.....there are bassplayers who enjoy using the pick over the strings at the bridge, and it is an easy way to balance their fingers when playing if they want to run around on stage while playing.
and you and your chrome, I THINK if there was a chrome over the wood topped tbird, you probably would be first in line to get one... my favorite company made an all aluminum 6 stringer, but never made a bass version or I would have one. only wood on it was the fretboard...
they called it the Roswell Rhodes, and it was very "futuristic" if nothing else...
