Ye olde 2012 Gibson Thunderbird IV. Bone stock.

It'll be sunny again here soon, I'll update this......
At least the Subie's clean in this shot.

I would like to know about the Dark Green bass. Third in from the right. What is that? Looks nice from here. How is it outfitted?

Epiphone Thunderbird Classic IV PRO electric bass amp in like-new condition. Also, a Hartke B600 bass guitar combo amplifier, also in like-new condition. Prefer to sell together, but would consider separate. I do not want to trade, selling only. If sold separately, $340.00 for the bass, and $100.00 for the amp. Firm on price.

Smoking deal on this 'Bird or not?

$340's a good price for the bass if it's in great shape, but it's not really a steal. I have no input to offer on the Hartke.

Very nice. Is that a single pickup Greco just foreward of the the passenger side front door handle?

Yes, I bought this one on ebay from a Japanese seller, the shipping was $$$ but well worth it, Greco Thunderbirds, esp. the single pup have a great, very growly angry piano tone, a bit like a P Bass but with WAY more attitude - It's a set neck and very nicely finished, I love that bass!

Mark, I don't see the custom paint one? You know the purple/blue tiger stripe? Not sure if my description is correct, but what a cool bass!

This is an older pic, the black '76 is what turned into the crazy striped one, I need to re do the pic this summer.

That is a Jackson TBX in metallic green, very rare, one of 56 made in '93. Gibson rattled the lawsuit Saber so they stopped making them. It's active, EMG pups absolutely flawless Japanese craftsmanship, tonally it's F%^&#@g razor, different from all the others.

Even if it's cheap, I couldn't buy it, or any bass for that matter. As much as I'd love to, I'll have to be happy with my one.

I emailed him and it's a barely played(of course it is ) 2013 that he paid $380 for. I asked him his best price and he said $330. I emailed him back telling him that it's a want not a need for me and if it was still around in a few weeks or months down the road, I had $275 for him.

Hey, if I had the means and ran across that bass at that price, I wouldn't hesitate to grab it, even if it had some cosmetic dings and dents. I love my Tbird Classic & want an additional white one as soon as I can swing it. These are too dang good for the price point to last very long, IMO. It HAS to be hurting sales on some of the Gibsons.

I "stole" my last two Thunderbirds and now I'm spoiled... it has to be a really good deal and I don't think losing $105 on a bass bought new is doing too bad for the guy and he could always counter.

You know, I could have made the same upgrades on a much less expensive Epiphone Classic that I did on my Gibby. Even though they're basically the same bass, something in me just wanted Gibson logo on the TRC. Go figure.

My first two were Gibson, my TB IV and Studio V. Now it doesn't matter. LOL

 

[SVTbird]

If he got it for $380 that was a deal. Cheapest I've seen the new ones for is $499

I was very happy to get mine at $388 (IIRC) since it was a "floor model" or some equivalent from Sam Ash on the 'bay. Looked/felt brand new to me!

 

[SVTbird]

If his lowest is $330, I'd offer $300. That would be a hell of a deal, and I doubt he'd walk away over $30.

 

[hillerup]

A have a question for you guys...

What would a good price be for a demo/floor model of a Gibson Thunderbird NR reissue in Pelham Blue?

 

[TBird1958]

There's a bass here somewhere..........

We were out on a side street for this old photoshoot, still drew a crowd

 

[Klondike]

All I see is a very nice, very purple Bird and a sweet Camaro
