Show Me Your Thunderbird Bass

:) I think mine is your older sister, being an '89.

Beautiful basses, the ESP NR is very cool!

these are my two babies :hyper:
i sold my other basses and bought them a few weeks ago.
unfortunately i can´t afford an original gibson, but i´m very happy with my epiphones, as they sound really great in my opinion.
i tuned them BEAD and "thunder" is the right description...

I build this when I was 14, then I converted it to a 5 string and never finished it. Now I've got a Spector 5er so I put on the neck off my old Jazz on it today. Both pickups are wired straight to the jack because my soldering skills sucked.
