Thunderbird Club Pt III

[TBird1958]

At work with my Lull, I had Mike put that bridge cover on my bass, he didn't really want to. Anyway, my pinkie's stretched out straight on top of the cover, not all my basses have one, so my pinkie has a big callous along it's outside edge.

I love em all, but the Orange and the Cream colored ones are most awesome! I'm no pro on stuff, I'm just going by looks lol.

Thanks! I'm happy with it overall. A few finish flaws, but not bad for a first timer. And no, that is my yard. They are just landscaped the same. Typical for out here.

It is an Epi Goth body/neck. The body has gun metal grey paint and the headstock has black metallic. Gotoh tuners, ABM style bridge, stainless pickguard and truss rod cover. The pickups are Gibson TB Plus from an Les Paul style bass loaded inside 70's Gibson covers/rings. The control setup is vol-vol-kill. This was an attempt to do something that I hadn't seen anyone else with, plus try my hand at a project. Joe (Chromium) was a huge help along the way.
