That is a really good price for these times. I don’t know what it is about people selling Thunderbirds near you. Don’t they research values? Is it hot? You should get it.

1,234. That can’t be the actual price
I don't think so. I guess you have to put a number in the price line on Marketplace to get started. He is asking for offers.
Pretty and not gaudy or over the top as some of ours can tend to be. (Which was a thing when they were originally built.)
No. That's my luggage combination.
I had contacted Gibson asking the following question:
“I purchased two of your “Vintage re-issue Thunderbird” pickups. I noticed that they only come as bridge position (lead) units.
Is there any way I can purchase one of the neck (rhythm) position vintage reissue pickups with chrome covers? I believe these would be what is found in the neck position of the current “non-reverse” Thunderbird basses.”
Response from Gibson:
“Thanks for reaching out. The Gibson Thunderbird Reissue Pickup offered through the Gibson Pickup Shop is meant to be used in any position. This would be the only vintage style Thunderbird pickup we offer for sale. Thanks again!”
So now we know.

Oh yeah, guys with big white hats carrying pitchforks will be chasing my girlie butt later today - My only reprieve would be to recant and swear to Tort, Flats and a P..........
Burn me at the stake, I'm a heretic!

I get a bit tired of, “You have to have a P! All your favorite songs were recorded with a P!”
Please list all the songs Phil Lesh, Jack Casady, and Paul McCartney recorded with a P. I’ll give them Stu Cook and Duck Dunn.

I jest of course, but over the years there's been a lot of great music made in all genres that didn't involve the most popular brand.......

Earl Slick used a few different brand guitars other than Fender or Gibson, and Gale Ann Dorsey also used a couple different basses. (well... MM is originally Leo...)

Note the safety gear in use - rubber soles so that Chucky does not become a grounding route for high voltage 'oopsies'.
He was working on the SVT just before. He said that was the death trap. The B-15 was just a bug zapper.
