In the UK you'd be looking at about £2000 - £3000 from a dealer, I haven't seen one for sale privately for years over here
Most dealers won't discriminate against a neck break while selling a Tbird that old; I imagine they do when buying
No. Was it his personal bass or is it a signature model?
Hey T-Bird enthusiast! I am looking for a fine Thunderbird myself these days... It could be a Gibson or a Lull T4. Let me know and PM if you have one you want to sell!

You are probably in the wrong place to find one for sale, except when there's duress involved. But it's a great place to get pointed toward one that somebody else is selling. When you find one, we can welcome you to to truth, light, and the thunderous way.
What are your preferences, a modern or vintage bird? Have you considered the Epiphone classic VI? Cheap as chips and a really nice instrument, a Gibson in all but name
Ok. I best get on it.Gibson Bass Book ordered and paid for!
Colin,
No Epiphone for me, thanks, only Gibson or Lull. Vintage or new would do too!
How does this one grab you? I've been dr00ling after it for weeks now and if it wasn't for import duty it would be on a stand in my house right now
Gibson 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Thunderbird 2013 GOLD
Yep. Very pretty indeed. My favourite would be a walnut finish I must admit.
I saw a 2000 natural finish Gibson Bird on eBay this morning. It was very clean. Not the walnut finish but still looked good IMO.
I am questioning if I should hang on to my Bach NR or release it to the wild. It's a great bass but doesn't get a lot of use, but when I do play it I really enjoy it. I'm just starting to debate keeping gear that is not used all that often. My collection has gotten a bit out of hand these days. Decisions.............

Andy, I regret selling my BaCH NR, even though I really just play my Reverses out it was a great sounding (mine had a single Lull Pup) and playing bass, other than a '73 Rick, it's the only other I wish i hadn't sold.

Looks like we have a mission - finding you a 'Bird.
So here's what's new:
Got my Volume pedal - this was taken with the active version last night before i took it back to exchange for the passive version (had way huge volume drop cause of the low gain on the active to not cause clipping). & the passive one just brought everything back to where it's supposed to be! This is the pedalboard design: 16 3/8" wide x 12" deep x TBD height. The korg & Bass D.I. will reside on top a shelf & the EQ will be placed under the tuner shelf & the DC brick (which will be my next purchase) will reside under the D.I. shelf. The cassettes mark the MXR Stereo Chorus & the Zoom is the Source audio Nemesis delay placement. Very compact, & will be building a box around it after to be able to carry safely around to gigs.
