is that the bass on the intro of “Jeremy”?

Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes a new level of insanity...
Gibson Thunderbird (Non-Reversed) 2013 Sunburst | steve's Gear Emporium | Reverb
Well, on the bright side, I guess it doesn't hurt to go for all you think you can get, plus it's free shipping - I wish the owner GLWTS.

No, it's actually newer than the song.

Well, if you start high you can always come down...……… A lot!
Since there's a blue one for $1400, Ya'd really hafta want the sunburst.
Yeah. He might get what they went for new: ~$1400.
I've been watching the blue one, but after learning about the difference in the neck compared to my 67, I'm gonna pass.
“... The neck is wide and large, pretty much the same as the reversed model...”
um, ok.
LOL - I'm tempted to offer him $300 and tell him if he comes down about a thousand I'll go up about a thousand. And some people wonder why they get low ball offers.
Yeah, that part confused me a little more than usual. I'm like
Yes. And Akko's tone is so warm and marhsmallowy. She doesn't fight the 'hog. She hugs the 'hog.

The "Make Offer" button is definitely needed. But looks like a nice bass.
yes it looks nice but not $2300 nice. Now, if it had the case candy in the form of a 1964 thunderbird, then it would be worth the money.
Seeking a little info here. Was shopping online and maybe looking at trying an epi Thunderbird. It says country of origin is China. Are all the epi's made in China? I'm not ready to drop $2300 for a made in the USA Gibson, but am not real keen on a made in China product either. Not trying to troll or start anything, just wondering if there are options.
One option is Cataldo JAEBird.
See demos by Jonathan Campagna on Youtube.
Another is a low-cost J-bass of your choice (with 60's spacing), adjust the routes as needed*, and install Thunderbuckers.
*I've collected some info if you need it, but I know nothing and any "info" should be checked with the group here.

My best advice would be to find a used Classic Pro Thunderbird IV or Vintage Pro. It'll put you really close to a Gibson in build quality and sound. Have a look at some YouTube videos and see and hear if it's something you like. Good luck.
Well, hope springs eternal. About $900 too much, although he’s right about them being scarce. I sure love my PB one. If someone had their heart set on one and could get the seller down to 1500 with shipping, it wouldn’t be too bad....but I’m secretly hoping he gets what he’s asking. I’m selfish that way.
