Thunderbird Club

Always like seeing the ‘13 out and about.

A little Tbird+ love:

I'm not going brag on the Ashdown today.

Much...
Old drummer and sound guy comes up after the service and asked "What changed?" He hadn't been there for a couple weeks and said he could really hear everything I was playing and it sounded like a bass should sound. Wether down low or some playing up high, he said he could hear everything much better. I told him must be the head. I was using the NR with some lightly used NPS Rotos. They did sound good, but I don't think as good as the SITs.
So there you have it. Please keep the NR. They are wonderful Thunderbirds.
 
@GBassNorth here you go!
These don't come around often, that's pretty good price on a rare Bird!

Been watching that one for about a week. I’ve decided to pass on it due to neck issues. Seller claims it buzzed all over the neck, his luthier worked on it for quite a while and wasn’t able to get all the buzz out, apparently it has a dip at the fifth fret that he wasn’t able to fix. If I could try it before I buy it I might find it’s a non issue, but it could just as easily be a big issue considering the neck through design. I’m holding off to buy yours someday. ;)
