Enjoy!

Every inch as beautiful as mine...

Can someone tell me why I don't own more 'birds? Anybody want to donate some money? I have a few in my head which I'd like

I'd love to build one. Oh the differences i could make for it to be unique xD

Whoa! Hey now! Are we still talking about bass guitars in this thread?

 

[TBird1958]

It's my fault. I have that effect on everyone - even thru the Interwebz

It was your overall thunderbird enthusiasm and great review of the bass I bought, as well as Godofthunder59 also advocating the T-Bird in several threads, that convinced me to give it a shot. It definitely has a different (not uncomfortable) feel from my P basses, but the tone is unlike any other bass I've owned previously. I could see how it wouldn't work for everyone, but I'm glad it works or me! Here's a shot of my current stable:

It fits right in!

Congratulations on the new 'Bird, play all your basses in good health for many years

Nice collection and welcome to the Club!

No posts since monday...? It seems that I killed the thread by going way off-topic with my Slade diversions...

So I better rectify this and get the conversation back on track by posting 7/10 of the collection:

The couch is clearly too small to hold the remaining 3 that didn't make it onto the picture...

Nice Rack !!!

A couple more shots as requested of my 2013 Ebony Gibson Thunderbird...

I have epic GAS for a 5 string Thunderbird...

Hillerup's red one is making me mad ... Now I want one!

I like that one too. Looks like Candy Apple??? Do the still call the red ons Cardinal Red?

It was listed as Metallic Red and does look a lot like Candy Apple Red...

One of those basses I just had to buy when I saw the color in real life... Went to Thomann to buy a guitar and left with both a guitar and the 'bird...

The color is so much nicer than on photos...

I only wish I had a metallic Pelham Blue to go with it.

Corner Music in Nashville had a Mike Lull 5 string last time I was there. So bad ass!

Never even been outside the UK! Sounds beautiful!

 

[Haji]

I like TBirds in general, but the Lull instruments are just perfection, in construction, in balance, they're just awesome. Add to that a perfect sunburst finish and what's not to like other than that big ol' price tag?

Liam, there is a dealer in the UK that carries Mike Lull basses. Check out: bassdirect.co.uk
