Wait until the P-bird is finsihed. I have most of the parts. Now I just have to make time to put the finish on the body and screw it all together. That's no change from a few months ago. I hate it when that happens.
YOU'RE the guy who hacked up his P-bass so he could shove a T-bird pickup in it! You're solid... just a li'l effed in the head
Im a different breed of bird, you know that alreadyYOU'RE the guy who hacked up his P-bass so he could shove a T-bird pickup in it! You're solid... just a li'l effed in the head

I think Geddy gets #2112
It seems like an obvious move to make big G an honorary (living) member of the T-bird club. I like how his bass collection 'display' is symmetric to a T!
For some reason I read that as eggplant. Lol
Hmmm, still good advice. Eat that eggplant one bite at a time.
This arrived today:
2012 Gibson Explorer w/ Gibson case, Schallers, and case candy. Kind of a "cousin" of the Thunderbird. I put a low-ball bid on it on ebay and got a notification, while on vacation, that I had won. Winning bid was $46 more than a new Epi Pro bird. Sometimes you get lucky.
Very very nice.
haha, I actually love it.

I really like the sound of a Precision for some things, but I prefer the ergos of a Thunderbird by far. The P-Bird will be a 7ender in all ways except shape. Shape will be all 'Bird. I haven't decided whether to put covers over the bridge and pickup or not, just to make it look even more like a single pickup 'Bird. It doesn't have the raised center block like Sliky Smoove's but I think it will look pretty good anyway.Maybe you & @ProgressiveDoom should swap notes
It will be red instead of white. I'm hoping to have time to do the finishing in August.
