That's really great! I bet it sounds as good as it looks, too. Building a Fenderbird or buying an Epi? This is TB. Both!

My 2002 Express carries even more, and it's only got 142K miles on it. Band, PA, drum kit, amps, upright bass, and all that. It has a few band trips under its belt. I keep thinking about replacing it with a smaller van that burns less fuel, but it's paid for, only goes about 5K miles a year, and hauls everything without fuss or muss. So, no Metris or anything else for me for the foreseeable future.
Here's something that's not seen very often.
Currently in the classifieds, I have no affiliation with the seller.
Just thought to share another cool take on the T-Bird.
I dig that color too!

Thanks! It is a monster both in terms of sound and weight. I mostly used it tuned down to C# when I had a heavy band going.
Yeah I have 14 basses, what’s another 2? Plus my daughter plays bass, and she would look really cool with a Tbird
Nice stucco and a beautiful bougainvillea. Oh, and the basses look pretty good,too!
What's the one on the left?

The Holoflash finish constantly changes depending on the angle of the light and the spot you're viewing it from. Here it is from about a foot to the left of the other picture...

Everytime I see that holoflash finish `bird, I think that I need to get me one of those.
If you perform on stage it's the bass to get! Tons of flash and a solid player to boot.
Damn! kinda like Jeff Gordon's Chroma-Key race car. WAY too cool
Didn't notice the GOLD strings b4. Amazing group!
Depending on how big your daughter is, I noticed a couple of SS TBirds are for sale online($$)Thanks! It is a monster both in terms of sound and weight. I mostly used it tuned down to C# when I had a heavy band going.

Actually,I'm from Miami where "j" is pronounced like "h".
Otherwise known as Headquarters.
Let's see... M I A M I... there's no "J" OR "H"Actually,I'm from Miami where "j" is pronounced like "h".
She’s 5’12” at 15 years old, took over my Pbass a couple of years ago and started upright in high school band last November. That said, we were figuring out some Royal Blood songs a few weeks ago, and that lends itself to SS. Hmmm...Depending on how big your daughter is, I noticed a couple of SS TBirds are for sale online($$)

In my capacity as a former Sansamp and Ampeg owner, you are not wrong Mark.
I was going to post a series of videos of Geddy playing various basses, but that would upset the Kat.
So then I thought about only instrumentals, but that would not cover all the basses.
So, how about this. Geddy Lee talks, but doesn't sing:
Take a look behind and see the awesome collection.
Wow! 12 "Birds"(7 NR) and ALL with pup/bridge covers on 'em. Chucky Stiletti had asked me about mine in my avatar. Now I don't feel(quite as)strange.
