ThunderBird Fivers? I've built a few.

Thanks for the kind words!

Holy $H*T! Those are Beautiful!!!!!! If I had to pick a favorite, I've narrowed it down to.... the Red one on the top and the blue one on the bottom! I feel like
a welfare kid with his nose pressed to the candy store window!!!

Ok, I'll admit it - I'd take that red one with the blocked and bound neck or the seafoam one to bed with me.
No sleepin in that bed, just rockin all night long.
Beautiful basses!

And I don't even HAVE any GAS!!! I'm perfectly happy with what I have. This place is pure evil.

I read this post first thing this morning, groggy and before my first cup of coffee. For a minute I thought the club was going to take a really different direction. I read the first line as "how many of you go to bed with a thunderbird?"

That's how read it at first glance too... And I was fully awake and caffeinated!

I don't need it, but I really want this non-reverse seafoam green.

Here is my first Thunderbird. I have wanted one for years and finally got one a couple weeks ago. Picked it up at a pawn shop for $90. It wasn't in the best shape but with a few adjustments it is my favorite bass now. Strung up with so BXL160BT strings from D'Addario. Sounds so good.

Had that same amp & cab in the early/mid 70s. Can't remember if the cab was 2x15 or 2x12. Thinking 2x15. Do remember it was loud and had lots of thump.

I've already had two of those and now a Gibson NR in P. Blue! I'm more interested in trying to find another NR of some sort to add if I come across one I can afford... which leaves the 60's models out... Another reissue NR in 'burst would be nice, or maybe even one of those Epiphone NR's.

A Cataldo miiiiiight not even be out of the question if I can purge a little more gear to put me ahead on the finances...

Man I've been looking for a Gisbon NR in P. Blue everywhere and I can't seem to find it! Would you consider yours? Also, I noticed this sunburst NR for sale in Kentucky recently (that you might be interested in): [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Uh oh! I messaged the CL guy, thanks for the tip. Not too too long ago I put a link up here to a PB NR, but not many seemed too interested. I already had one and didn't bite on it. I'll keep an eye out.

@dava13, you just hit up my Instragram pics of my NR earlier, I believe! Hah.
