Haha, thanks, Mark!

 

[Eldo]

Hi everyone, there are some awesome basses here, I was thinking of buying one.

I came here to ask if any of you know of any Gibson or Epiphone Non-Reverse Thunderbirds for a decent price in the UK? (I can't pay vintage price-tags).

There was a nice Epi NR on eBay a couple of weeks ago for $399 US. I had one and liked it a lot.

Or, since you are in the UK, try BaCH in the Czech Republic.

Ok, thanks

 

[Eldo]

You're welcome. They are discontinuing the NRs though, so take that into account. The best of all of them are the Series II, of which they made only 30.

In any case, shipping from them to you is pennies compared to what shipping to the US is!

I have a pretty good idea where your old Epi NR lives now Eldo.

 

[ThaCoast]

which is better for the jack and which do you prefer?

 

[FenderLove]

I remember that site. Here are some pics I scarfed up…

Great looking Gibs

That bass was owned by Steve Barr (of "The Dudepit") a now long gone bass forum that still has a very dedicated group of Gibson bass fans on another forum. I remember discussing that signed PG with Evan a BassNW, he overnighted it to Tom to be signed before Steve picked up the bass.
Reminds me a lot of my Orville Thunderbird.

George used to have quite the collection back then.

That White '86 Single Pup Reverse is to die for!

He sure did!

Second picture, third one from the right
I'd sell pretty much anything but my soul for that (cause without my soul, how could I play the blues)

 

[godofthunder59]

I have a few extra tail pieces available, some with radius-ed ends others with the late 60's square end, pm me if interested

Welcome here GGirl,
You are #297 (see the club list above ) Beautiful '91 'Bird there, I see it's in good company. We'd love to know what you think of your new 'Bird, and as always gigs shot and video are encouraged.


Here are your basses again
