I didn't know about trophy points either. Beats me what they are or what they are for.And what's all this about trophy points?
I know it has nothing to do with trophy wives, cause i've never been married.
Yeah, beats me. It's like the gold star vs. the demerit?
If that's the case, i should be in the negatives.

very cool, be ready for many "Likes"!..Don't know that I'd go so far as to say impeccable
But I do have an Associate degree in electronics (from almost 30 years ago, though). A long time ago I also used to do repairs on computers, TVs, and radios part-time while going to school.
Later I got roped into doing automotive wiring/electronics/computer diagnostics & repair for a bit
So, I know enough to know which end of the soldering iron is the hot end, but not so good as to not burn myself with it occasionally
Well, who doesn't like a humbucker now and then...Lol...yeah if "Likes" are your thing this is the place to be.....heck, al you need is a sense of humor and a bass with humbuckers...
Hi all,
So it was a hard decision for my 1st Tbird (not really) but I decided on a 2014 in the Walnut/Natural color. I’m a sucker for natural finishes and I absolutely love love that look on this style of bass. It was pretty much love at first sight. So classy. I’ll post pics when I get it and convert it to lefty.
Thanks for the help all.

You are going to make us wait to see a Thunderbird! Such cruelty!Hi all,

Congratulations on getting it. The non-burst natural ones look great. You don't see those very often, either.

Hellooooooooo PDX.
Pssst. explanations right in there...
Yeah, but way too expensive IMO for what it appears to be. Looks to be in nice shape though and the color is kinda cool.
I honestly no nothing about them. Also seems a bit spendy to me.
It'd have to have something special about it.
Agreed. Love the blocks, love the dark burst, do not love the price.
Really, it's just the price. I'm totally digging everything about it otherwise.
Given how much love the bolt-on Epiphones get here, how much better would the ESP have to be to justify the price?
It is very cool, though.

Nice work! I’ve got a couple basses that could use that. Not any of my birds though. Next time I’m in Sacto I’ll bring ‘em by...Well, as it turns out, all that shielding made an exactly 100% difference.
However, I was wrong about the pre-amp being the main culprit. I grounded the shielding in stages, and there was no change at all, until I grounded the pickup cavities
