I do like it a ton. If I could afford to keep it, I would. I'm actually getting rid of it to afford the new bass. I'll probably get a gibby if I was going to get another t bird.

my newest addition is the epi silverburst in chrome. purchased used because I couldn't find a new chromed-out one. it has great tone. flanked by a '07 z-bird and a '76 bi-cent.

Here's a wee contribution from me in Scotland...

1990 Custom Shop ebony black Tbird, with gold hardware ... only pics I have to hand at the mo, I'm afraid (found this thread by accident while Googling something else!).

Inspiration for wanting a Tbird, was, of course ...

TBird1958, you have the most killer collection of tbirds I've seen. What is the story with this bass? I'm assuming this is a refin? What year? <major envy>
