Thunderbird Club

The going rate for a second hand Epi Tbird in mint condition is around AUD450 iirc.

ABH have the Classic IV Pro (neck through) for AUD1149 marked down to AUD899.

Yeah, but this is the Non Reverse. Ok, it's rare but I'm not aware that it is particularly highly regarded

I saw an Epiphone NR Thunderbird come up on eBay Au the other day with a 'buy it now' of AUD $1200.00.

Even given the 'Australian Tax' - that's well and truly overs... isn't it?

Edit- to put in context a bit; I'd expect to pay AUD $800-$900 for a Gibson EB13/14

That's only a little out of line in USD for an EB13/14. Those are way undervalued.

I have 'bird number 2 on the way....

If my parents had a basement it would be 2010 kilometres away.

That would be shorter in miles.

Would you clarify that a little more? 2 as in the second one ever made(with a serial #)? Or the Second Classic Pro?

 

[Klondike]

Oh, you mean YOUR second bird. Lol had me for a sexond!

 

[Rexalot]

Sorry, should have been more specific

I have my 2nd Thunderbird on the way...

A Classic IV pro. Arctic white.

Lol. You were clear enough.

I recently got the same. Loving it.

Well unless Gibson makes lefties again, it's pretty much been decided for me.

Find a used Tokai, they're out there and they are really nice!

I'm actually about to buy another Gibson I found, I might sell my sunburst Tokai with Gibson pickups FYI

I always get the retort, "That's different!" when I pose that shoes and purses question. Her argument used to be difference in pricing but now with the advent of Coach, etc. purses, they aren't giving those away either so it's neutralized her response a bit. Ain't love grand?

My wife's purse and shoe collection outnumbers my gear by a fair bit. Some of my toys cost a "tiny bit" more than her usual purse prices.

Yeah, but this is the Non Reverse. Ok, it's rare but I'm not aware that it is particularly highly regarded

The Epi NR's are great basses, just nothing like an actual Thunderbird. Alder body, maple neck, rosewood board, P-J pickups. Basically a 7ender in cooler clothing. I still have 2 and really enjoy them.

Wow, quite a collection. What's the Black Bird?

[Count Bassie]

You need both. Him inside will understand...



...We are here to help.

Him inside! Lol!

 

[Count Bassie]

I was just looking at the bass section of my wardrobe and it really will only fit 3 cases. My somewhat arbitrary limit appears to correspond to the limits of the actual storage space.

I made a mistake and "Like"d that post for a second.

Fixed it.
