yup...

Emerald City Guitars in Seattle generally seem to know what they are doing. They always have some obscenely expensive vintage guitars and some really weird stuff.

There are a handful of NR Firebird Is on Reverb, but no IIIs with three pickups.

I didn’t know they made one with 3 P90s!

Elderly Instruments. My last experience with them was very positive, they helped me with an Ampeg SSUB bass I found locally that had been through several garage/spraycan mods. Turns out it was totally salvageable.

contactus

Thanks!

Dude! Do some ironing!

Sheet was laid(ahem?)on grass to show off my 'Bird.(AHEM?)

I didn't either. I bet it is a screamer.

I thought the numbering was the same as a normal FB, which would make that a VII.

 

[Kriegs]

is that a 60's Bassman?

1967!

6G6B?

You may well be correct. I don't know that much about them.

I had 2 of these(63's). Sold them[idiot!]. Much later bought a black one (67or8?). Wasn't the same-that I remembered in my head.

Looks like it's an AB165.

If it was a blackface, it wasn't the same. Silverface was different yet.

Here's a TBT pic ... my 'Bird getting some sun

and then, as a callback to an earlier conversation...

Yesterday, I got a new (to me) sea kayak. It's circa mid-90's Aquaterra Sea Lion 17.5 footer with a working rudder
I have tomorrow off so we'll be enjoying our maiden voyage then

shoe included!

Happy sea lion is happy

It looks like something salvaged from an 1800's shipwreck

I don't remember if it was black or silver. I do remember it was a PITA and didn't gimme the sound I wanted. Got a coupla years outta it and sold it.

 

[TBird1958]

We're going on a trip!

These two are my choices for a trip out to Sequim, WA tomorrow (Sat. night show) , they'll both go nicely against my black w/ red cherries June Cleaver dress.

Thunderbird>GK>SWR is all the signal chain I need.

[Kriegs]

I have no plans to get rid of it! I use it for both bass and guitar
