Multiple brokers advertise the same Thunderbird. Many here have bought from them. I do not recall a single complaint. I would not hesitate to pull the trigger if something I wanted came up.
yeah same here....pretty painless transaction from UK about 4 years ago......wish I'd done it sooner.....bass gets gigged quite a bit....My Greco came directly from Japan, the seller shipped it Air Freight, had it in two days - That was more than 10 years ago, but was a perfect sale.

Nothing more Glam than a White Thunderbird (Thank you, Overend Watts!) so the '89 gets the call.

Rain from The Cult? Love that song.
I believe the original owner of my BC Rich is Stephen McGrath, Billy Idol's bass player.

It's almost a medley with "Strength" by The Alarm as a lead in, we hold the "D" at the end of "Rain" and go to "Sanctuary".
Love playing a show like this because the has a lot of energy but doesn't tread on the other band's ground at all. 45-50 minutes
to just play your guts out - love it!
That must be true. Happy Birthday Marshall. Cheers!
Cool Ken! I’ve got to say, what I saw last night was amazing. Impeccable musicianship in a small room. There were people there who came from all over Cali. No cover. We spent $30.00 because we had dinner before we headed up. I felt guilty.
Uh, no. I think the bass slot is occupied. By a guy who toured the world with Government Mule. But I will work on getting into the scene. I am learning just how many players there are up here. It is pretty much under the radar. People live here to enjoy anonymity and privacy.
I love that bass!Short and sweet for us tonight @ Events Archive - Aurora Borealis - Shoreline, WA

Pretty much the same experience here with multiple bass purchases from Japan. All the sellers I’ve dealt with have been top notch on communication frequency, updates, packing and accurately describing their products. The pictures I posted were from the seller as a special unrequested email after the purchase letting me know the bass was ready to ship if I was still satisfied with how it looked, who else does that? There’s obviously some translation challenges but not enough to make me even think about steering clear of Japanese purchases. As noted, be prepared for a two to four week delivery though. BTW - I’ve never had an issue or charge from customs either.
Ditto to Andy and the Man! And Donny isn’t yours coming up?
