Death might.

Might.

And? Is it yours yet? The shipping thing can be overcome, no doubt.

nope, not mine

 

[Gaolee]

Yet.

Death might.

But, only after you own all of them.

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.

Why are you not keen on "made in China"?

I haven't checked where my CP Thunderbird was made and I don't; care because it plays great.

My JC is made in China. It is a well made bass and plays great as well.

What’s the hive minds thoughts on the Nikki Sixx Schecter?

I got a trade offer from a guy I dealt with before on CL.

Last trade was in my favor, this trade would be in his. So I’m happy with the munny side of the deal.

I would totally rock one of those. But that is just me; my tastes are eclectic.

I had a Chinese made Ibanez guitar. It was extremely high quality, and I miss it at times. The guitar that replaced it was also made in China. It's an archtop acoustic that was designed along the lines of a vintage Gibson, complete with a V-shaped neck, spruce top, and all that. It's a wonderful guitar. Too bad I can't play it worth a crap. Oh, well. That's not China's problem.

I'm sure there are many of us that would like to have it, me included.

So to get to Flint it’ll take what, a day?

The bigger issue is, what will it take to get there? Or get it here. $$$$$$$

Who else thinks Epiphone needs to make a NR Thunderbird Vintage Pro, following the seemingly well received Vintage Pro model? And maybe a Vintage Pro EB-3 that is more higher quality and period accurate than their current offering?

Someone in the Club should really try and get it.

I've been working on a trade with the seller for the last couple of months (significantly in his favor) but so far he's not budging on keeping it at a local sale or trade. I'd much rather have a burst than the PB so if I don't get a bite from him in the next week or two I'll pull my offer.

For Sale/Trade - 2013 Gibson Thunderbird Non Reverse Pelham Blue

I think this is it.

Whomever wants this bass... I can help out since he won't ship. Not looking to make anything on the transaction, just willing to help as long as I'm not held liable for any SNAFUS.

Great minds think alike. We’ve all been exerting our collective mental powers to will them to do it. We welcome the additional help from you my friend. Can’t think of anything better for them to announce at the next NAMM, which sadly may not be until January.

We’ve been clamouring for the NR VP here for quite a while, hoping we have some influence. I like the EB3 idea

I'll take you up on that Larry. Checking with the seller now to see if he's interested in my trade.
