@TBird1958 Wow! Are these all modded?

 

[ThaCoast]

Nice! Hope you can sleep at night with a clear conscience. Can’t imagine anyone in their right mind swapping that for a Squier.

Nice score - That's just the traditional epiphone Tbird IV, not the classic IV. Classic is full on gibson copy with gibson pickups, neck through.

Yummy!

No, they're stock, very limited from Gibson.

To be clear, these are not my basses, I'm in Frankfurt, Germany in these pictures visiting the greatest collection of Gibson basses on the planet. Most are in [B]Invalid Link Removed[/B] which I highly recommend, it's done by our fellow TBer [USER=180788]@Basvarken[/USER]

That's pretty crazy. All useless to me, though, since none left-handed.

All I have to contribute. "Lady in Waiting".

Is that before intonation (odd to see all the saddles at the same location)? Looks like lots of room to move the saddles to where you need them. And it also looks like a drop in fit for an Eppi or Gibby 3 point. What's the cost and supplier contact info?

Same night.

Love the shoes (and of course the smile)!

PS - damn nice legs too!

That may have be before I intonated it, but it's all set up now and plays great, PM @godofthunder59 for sales info, it's a Scott Dasson original!

3 Pick ups!

Did Gibson make a 3 pup bird? Looks cool, how's she sound?

Dang it, I really really want an NR!

Yes, not many, maybe 10, it's from 1986 before the official re issue ( one thing you can thank Henry J for!) of Thunderbirds.

That's my Badbird II replacement for the three point bridge, I may have some left, I don't know if I will be making more.

Darn TBird! On a roll! Love that semi hollow slimline LP bass on the rack in the back...
Thanks for the terrific pics.

We've played a couple weddings, but that woman just showed up dressed like that! People let their freak flag fly at our shows.

You clearly had he under some kind of spell. Nicely done!

Speaking of a little push, I miss Fixer and his amazing outpouring of posts and ideas. People come and go. 'Birds don't, so that is good. We all need at least one constant.
