I’m sure it’s not JUST neck heavy!
Gaolee
Official leathers tester and crash dummy
It is stretching a little. Better that than all of them at once piled into a big one.
Just got some custom routing work back from the wood shop. Looking good and ready for a test fit and sound check later this week…
Didn’t realize how much bigger the Tbird body is than the Warwick body, and yet I think this bird build might end up weighing less. I’ll know when I get my “Thumb” on the scale (pun intended)…
By comparison, the Tbird is quite a bit longer as well…
The ThumbDerBird (credit Budda with that name) will have a Wenge pickguard to match the neck and black Tbird logo as well. All the hardware will be black. The body color I’m leaning most towards right now is…
Fingers crossed that she falls into the Warwick Thumb sound spectrum so I can retire my beloved BO5.

prolly easier to ship than the Outlaw.....Like so?
Still can’t figure out why ST Microelectronics built a plant in Catania. Ash, vibration, salt air…

It's heavy, I haven't taken it to a show yet - Both it and the Outlaw crossed my mind to take to our next show at Slim's on 11/29, but the BaCH won out...........
Choices are nice, but I have trouble getting past playing a Thunderbird for a show, nothing else seems to quite do "it" for me in that circumstance.
Love what you play, play what you love!
People who are experts and educated in the finest of schools can make as many stupid decisions as the dude on the corner. Cracker Barrel.... Large companies can better absorb dumb decisions whereas smaller or family businesses can't, thus often they are run more efficiently and wisely.

I will weigh them - they're both quite stout.
have you ever been to Ceuta or Melilla?....that would be a big NO...
Jk, as much as I would like to gig that bass I meant the Melody Maker body with a std scale even if it meant enlarging the body accordingly as in your LP......btw, how do those sound? anything like the one you tried at the store through that Deluxe?...
I think Mike and V have them
I didn't realize the bridge route was that deep on a Warwick.
