Its White Thunderbird time (again)
I love that shot!Its White Thunderbird time (again)
It's like June Cleaver's wild side comes out to play.
And yeah, that's a nice couple a birds ya got there V. (wink wink)
Birds of a feather flock together, wherever, forever.
Dealing until I can get a decent case or gig bag. Use what you have, right? 
Now that's just different in a different kind of way! I can't really even figure out what's going on.
Had to get that shoe in, did ya?
Restraint? You feeling ok?
If $150 isn't too far out of your price range, I can't recommend the Gator Pro-Go highly enough.
+1. Been using one for about a year now and works great.
Mine's been through so much abuse in the NYC subway for six years and it barely looks used.

I moved the upper pin on the EB from the upper horn to the neck heel. It hangs more like a 'Bird now.

I don't recall when Henry J was ousted. If 2018 is post Henry, I doubt it is an issue. Meaning Indian rosewood (I think).

Using a camp chair as a gig bag? Creative, but does it give much protection?
Would you like a hard case for your Epi Bird?

I consider it being fortunate related to when and why I bought it. Told the tale here before, but I had a beat-up 1963 T-bird II that I bought in 1974 in an Omaha Nebraska pawn-shop for $150 (w/all covers/mute & OHSC). I went to the shop tipped-off about a P-bass (probably a pre-CBS) from a friend but it was gone when I got there. The place was an old dingy hock-shop and the T-bird was the only thing on the wall that looked interesting. I had $200 in my pocket but was able to talk him down with a hard-luck story to $150. It was one of the few times in my life I was able to BS a pro - I'm not a good lier. (must be T-bird fate) It was stollen in '78 from an apt break-in and because I had renters insurance I could afford the $700 for my '64 (which I still have and have often posted) a month or two later from a vintage seller out east that I saw an ad for in a guitar magazine. It was a closet-queen w/all covers/mute and OHSC. If I had another $50, I could have got a similar VGC IV but was at my $ limit! (funny how $50 was a lot of money at one time - a bag of groceries now is $50!)Or Gator GWE-Tbird-Bass Hard-Shell Wood Case For Thunderbird Bass Guitars, Black Free Shipping
I like my Epi case. Got one new for a fuzz over $100. Not where I found mine.

I can't quite figure that out either.
