Some 'ho Birds....

 

[Rip Topaz]

I love the Alembird. It's always cool to look through their archives and read all the cool stories behind the basses.

 

[Jaymi]

I just bagged an epi bird.....need to get a bridge for it....I am thinking it may have to carry a DiMarzio Model P bucker in place of the front pickup....any thoughts? pics soon...

I have a used extra black Gibson 3 point but no mounting posts - if this helps your cause, PM me.

I posted this back in club II. but i may have better chance at getting an answer without looking through 50 pages:

I'm thinking of moving the strap pin on my goth thunderbird and I have two locations in mind and wanted your advice:
1- replace existing top right bolt screw with pin
2- drill hole in neck plate (gibson style)

I'm getting dunlop dual system straplocks for the bird.

Feedback, opinions, etc. which is better.
NOTE: I've previously moved the bottom pin to the left of the bass and the pictures are only for reference to my locations.

thanks for your help.

 

[Nocturnal]

I think I'm going to try drilling into the plate for the new strap location on my Epi Goth. Don't know if that is the "best" location but it is close to where the button is on my Gibson and I have no issues with neck dive on the Gibson at all.

That's how my Epi came from the factory.

I've yet to played it standing up since I haven't installed my straplocks.

I'll post a full report whenever I finally do it

awesome, besides, i gotta get the bird fixxed so bad:new strings, fretbuzzing, neckplate screw head bust, wire. etc.

 

[Thunderbird90]

Hey guys!! I have an Epi goth Thunderbird, it's my pride and joy, saving for the new T-bird pro

 

[cobra314]

Here's my Epi T-bird Pro IV. Love this bass! Great sound and fun to play!

[Thunderbird90]

That is a pretty bird

 

[TBird1958]

My Epi's is here.

 

[TBird1958]

I've updated the roster above with the additions of Jaymi #193. Thunderbird90 #194 and Cobra314 #195, welcome here! Pics, pics, pics and questions as always.

Here's some Holiday color too.
I'll be away for a couple days but will check in

My Epi's "off center" straplock:

 

[Jaymi]

pics of mine will be coming shortly..

 

[snowblinder]

Check this out. Shipping is kind of a bitch being that it would be traveling overseas, but...that looks like a great price:

GRECO TB-800 Bass 1989 Vintage Sunburst MIJ fujigen | eBay

Greco T Birds are great! That is a great price, but shipping may double that, at least.

 

[snowblinder]

The ad says shipping to North America is $135, which would make the total $700 even. Still seems like a pretty good price....if you trust it to not get damaged in transit.
