[BklynKen]

I think that's a pretty cool bass!

It's backwards, though. ;-)

Also, I have the opportunity to pick a 71 bird from someone and was wondering if anybody could give me a idea of value. It's been played pretty hard by a guy that was in a pretty popular band in the 80's and 90's.

 

[jaibeau]

A big Thank You to our moderator Mr. SMPerry for starting a new thread, I'll bring the list over later today, hard to belive we're over 5,000 post and who knows how many views - Rock on Thunderbird brothers and sisters

Me and my best '76!

You live near the mike lull shop don't you?

 

[BklynKen]

Thank you.

 

[TBird1958]

I'm a little south of Seattle, Mike's shop is about 35mins away in Bellevue
It's a place of sweet Thunderbird dreams.................And a Hiwatt DR103!

As far as I know no such animal as a '71 Thunderbird.

[fjadams]

Just got my Gibson SS TBird back from having it converted to V/B/ToneStyler Duo Ten. Liking the tonal options. Does anyone know if there is a set of knobs that says volume, blend, tone instead of V/V/T?



Also changed the jack to black instead of chrome as there was nothing else chrome on the bass.

 

[godofthunder59]

Ok so here we go! I had the day off today (sort of) got a little shop time in. From the beginning this bass as been major disappointment and pain in the A#@. Any how I routed for the new pickups and got them installed, new Schaller bridge (thanks Carlo!) CTS pots, new string tree. Also one of my pgs. I still need to replace the tuners. I hope to have it wired up in the next week or so.

 

[TBird1958]

So Scott,

Knowing you and Reverse Thunderbirds......will this one stick around?

 

[godofthunder59]

Juries out on this one Mark. It does have decent upper register access. It is my only multi string bass at the moment. I'll trade ya pinkie for it

 

[TBird1958]

Bill, (Saltymonkey@LBO) has the pinkie, he's out your way in N.Y. Scott. I am much like you except that I love Reverses and NR's .........always end up selling the NR's. I don't have one right now, yet I'm gassing for one.

Mike lull is building me a NRT5 15% larger (ament approved it) reverse headstock, satin black, no pickguard- sexy- pics to come....

I guess it's your Waterstone V8 right?

I was wondering when we would be getting a review from you...

Would you mind elaborating on what you found dissapointing about it???

 

[TBird1958]

I'll try to make a trip up to see your bass next week, it sounds like it'll be great!
