Are Americans allowed to say that? Aren't you afraid you'll get deported to some metric loving country?
Surprised no one has posted this, yeah, disclaimer, no affiliation.
Gibson Thunderbird Base 2013 Red/Black | McQueen Buy N Sell
That's quite the beautiful "Base guitar"!
I did see that. Always good to have the, "As described" , element there.I did see that. Always good to have the, "As described" , element there.

What is with the screws on the bridge pickup? That can't be stock...
this is nice too...
Gibson 50th Anniversary Thunderbird bass 2013
scam?
That bass has been for sale for a long time. I’d buy it if there was no signature and a reasonable priceNo thanks, already participating in one...
Well, it looks like a real signature. Not sure that it is JAE's signature, but it is a signature... Hefty premium for an autograph.
Nice bass but someone scribbled on it.

Since I'm not really interested in it(OK, I am but can't justify it), I hadn't looked closely at the bridge pup-I never use the bridge pup-but them screws ain't right.What is with the screws on the bridge pickup? That can't be stock...
Already has a Hipshot bridge. That would save me $120. With a discount like that, I would be crazy to pass on it...

Took a look at that one but was concerned by the string height off the fretboard. Says it has a brand new set up, but I'd have a problem with the action. Don't know if it can be lowered, didn't see the condition of the truss but the bridge isn't set up ideally either.this is nice too...

Looks like the previous owner flipped the threepoint out for a hipshot. Might or might not be an improvement depending on what camp you're in, but it's no longer stock and the price is at least $500 higher than the typical going rate for a stock 2013 goldy. Does look like it's in nice shape though.this is nice too...
