love that pic……those tracks go over the Lost Boys bridge on their way to Capitola…..Santa Cruz was “Santa Carla” in the movie…..This is a guy I follow on FB, he rides this little powered railcart on various abandoned lines, this one is near Santa Cruz. The same tracks travel thru Capitola and you can see them on the bridge in this picture of some troublemakers.....

If I was going to Bangalore, yes. Amman, no.
I think I recall you having to intervene once. It’s a really nice group of people.

Not sure if this is a good price (w?OHSC) ... sleeping hum-buckers?
2012 Gibson Non-Reverse Thunderbird 4-String Bass Pelham Blue + COA OHSC | eBay
At its core sits a mahogany body and neck capped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, the perfect recipe for bellowing bass and pro-quality performance. Inside the Thunderbird lay two sleeping humbuckers.

You’re crazy.Today's flight path hitting the highlights of Ukraine and Iraq. A slight departure from the normal Russia and Iran. I'll let you know when to stop posting.

Well, duh. He plays Thunderbirds and hangs out with us.

Wow. I'm not a big fan of that kind of wood grain pattern, if that's what it is, but I sure do like the inlay. The bound body and neck are stellar as well. I think that's what I'm seeing.From my FB feed, by Dolman Guitars, I dig the inlay!

Yeah, you don't want to disturb them. They might snarl and bite when they wake up.Not sure if this is a good price (w?OHSC) ... sleeping hum-buckers?

I did not realize that one ended up in George’s neighborhood. That shop in Thousand Oaks is reputable. I’m pretty sure that one surfaced in the classifieds on here around 2018, 2019 or thereabouts.Not sure if this is a good price (w?OHSC) ... sleeping hum-buckers?

That’s a fair price these days for a ‘13 NR built in late summer/fall of ‘12. It still looks to be in great shape. The Pelham Blue has some sparkle to it. It is a strikingly beautiful finish. It’s one of only 400 made in that color. Someone here please give it a good home! Shipping only $45.00?
Here’s mine. I love it.

Oh good, glad you knew more about it - I can't keep track.
I try to keep track of those, the short scale Thunderbirds, the ‘15s, and the BaCHs the best I can. They’re rare, I own them, and am interested in their value so my family knows what their approximate value is when that time comes.Oh good, glad you knew more about it - I can't keep track.
Hum... what a clever idea. Wonder why.....From my FB feed, by Dolman Guitars, I dig the inlay!
Never thought of it being horizontal, but I like it. A lot. Heck I would like to see one going all PRS with the Bird inlay.
What's a few hundred nautical miles among friends?
Sorry, that was another one, wasn't it?

That looks amazing!!
I sure hope Andy Fields plays bass. He spends a lot of time on Talkbass!

The pickup covers are hard to find and nobody reproduces them AFAIK.Hello Lads!
Picking up a new vintage pro in a few days, wanna make it look bicentennial.
Could someone kindly point me to where I can get correct bridge and pickup cover?
Thanks
For the bridge cover search "Gibson bass bridge cover" on ebay. There are usually a few original ones and there's one reproduction for much less money.
But be aware the repro is not as tall as the real ones.
I have one repro cover on my Orville Tbird and another on my Ripper. In both cases I used spacers (that I made with a 3D printer) to get the cover high enough to clear the strings.
The 60s Reverse Tbirds had spacers. I dont know if they actually needed them.
I don't know about the Bicentenials.
