nice collection…..they got the bridge pup volume pot placement more period correct on your white BaCH (aftermarket addition right?) read somewhere recently (Basvarken?) there was a mistake at the factory where they had to add a veneer to cover some miss drilled holes…..
Are you referring to the ‘05 listed on the Bay and Reverb at $1599? Including the case plus $90 for shipping? They sound willing to negotiate. 8 1/2 pounds which ain’t bad. I find myself playing mine quite a bit and it doesn’t feel heavy to me. They’re nice Thunderbirds. A bit different with a set neck, flat front, Corian nut, regular high mass type bridge, the skinny headstock, and the chrome Grovers. I like the tone from that era TBird plus pickups. Someone here should get it if they can come to the $1200-$1300 range or thereabouts.
It's a Cherry Studio, actually was the first time I've taken it out of the house to a show, it's a nice sounding bass - TB Plus pickups can sound really good sometimes, as you know! The shot is from Quil Ceda Casino in Marysville, we bring a 3 hour video of images that slowly morph when we play there, it
never hurts to put on a show that ties in with the music.
Don't let Marshall see it. He might mortgage his 2015 for that color.Spendy thing...............
ESP THUNDERBIRD BASS GUITAR - FRANK BELLO OWNED - 1980's ANTHRAX STAGE USED | eBay
Before Frank was a Fender guy, he was an ESP guy. This is a great and pretty rare bass in its own right. Add in to it that it was one of Frank's, and that is really cool. One odd thing is that it is marked as #1174 on the case.www.ebay.com
Love how that bass plays!....Let's just play a Thunderbird...............
Some about cold dead hands regarding his 2015.
Love how that bass plays!....
honored,Well, it sounded really good when you played it during the GTG, that was in part, why I took it out to that show
….when are you planning to meet the 64?…
That appears to be an excellent price. Some Epi Blackbirds without a case have been advertised for more than $600.
Yeah. That’s a pretty Thunderbird. No way I’d ever pay that much. I don’t give a darn who owned it.
honored,
