That is all.

Single pick up '64................................................................
Makes Homer Simpson drool sound!

Holy Grail of basses there, very nice!


I remember that shot of the acoustics and EB's from the dudepit IIRC, you'd have to tap into Hoover Dam to power all that up!

I wonder what it makes Marge Simpson do?!

Hey Gibson lovers & carriers of the torch. There's a terrific Gibson survey thread posted so be sure to vote for your favorite Gibbies.

This is the seller's shot, after it arrives I'll post the obligatory "Subaru" shot.
Yeah, 8 string Tahiti Coral Non-Reverse.

oh that's a really unique and pretty color Mark, looks orange-pink in the pic, but I'm sure the camera is not showing the exact color....

My Tahiti Coral 8 string Non Reverse

Awesome!!! I never knew an 8 string T-Bird existed... The headstock is almost as long as the one on my '67 ES-335 12 string!

Hey Mr. '69 Vette

Ever think of changing your name to '69 T-Bird?

Do you also have a collection of Vettes?

Where in the world did you get that Les Paul? The only other photo I've ever seen of that LP Bass was in a photo of Suzi Quatro the late "60s. I think the LP was her second bass, the first being a '58 P Bass her father gave her around 1965.

Check out where the G string is!!!...so I took it back and got my schecter..

 

[depalm]

…but from a friend. Next to a Gibson G3.

 

[Rich Guastella]

Here's my '64 T-Bird.



Someday I hope to own a two pick-up version.


The only thing remaining will be to acquire something along this magnitude! I want to move both heaven and earth with the flick of an "E."

I think the Dept of Defense should know about your arsenal!!!..

 

[Mike19]

Can anyone ID the TBird on thread below? Scroll down to the post with the big photo.

I don't think it belonged to Suzi - she was probably just posing w/ it for the album cover photo.

I'm pretty sure it's a custom Greco and it was hers, I recall another shot of it along with a group of basses............
Saw it on Ebay a year or two back, cool bass.

Veronica the Nasty T-Bird Guru knows his stuff. That is the Suzy Quattro sig T-bird from Greco. I've seen maybe two of them in my entire life

 

[Mike19]

According to the Greco catalogues (link below), their TB was made from 1974 to 1977.

Mine is a '77 Thunderbird II with conventional headstock - A quite obvious copy of the beautiful '64 pictured above. I paid a modest $750.00 for it, a fantastic bass I understand Paul Chandler designed the pick ups for them. Mine positively roars. Although not common they're a great bass!

 

[TBird1958]

You got it bro............
Later today when the sun comes around the front of the house, I'll shoot a few detail pics.
