Show Me Your Thunderbird Bass

Hello,

This is my '04 classic white TBird. I got it a few months ago. It used to belong to Frankie Poullain of The Darkness fame. Got it on the bay hehe... Sounds and plays amazing. It came with a pro setup and the big-a** case which I cannot fit almost anywhere!!

That's the shiznit!!!!!

I found a guy in Utah that makes the body blanks, and of course you can buy the necks from allparts or other sources, but I just couldn't make myself take on the project. Nice Fenderbird!
 
Geeze, I'd really love to find one of those Brice thunderbirds some time. This is probably a long shot, but does anyone have pics of the Roscoe thunderbird that sold on the Dudepit a few years ago? I'd LOVE to track down that bass.
