Any rumblings on colors?
Great news! But should some of us send samples of the real deal so they aim for the right target? Sometimes their idea of the vintage direction isn't that of players.
I'll be glad to run mine down there!

Better yet: They need to do it right!
I can already see a bass or two that will be sold to fund one.

Quick, buy up every three point bridge on the market so Gibby will be forced to use a two point!
I'd just be happy if they filled the back orders on the 2021's....
Which color of Tobacco Burst, Black or White would you like? Hopefully they will get imaginative.
He said as they are ramping up production of them in anticipation of the new vintage Thunderbird....Quick, buy up every three point bridge on the market so Gibby will be forced to use a two point!
Definitely a great thought. And in 20 years they will be vintage and all the rage.

wonder how (if true) it would affect vintage prices..Great news! But should some of us send samples of the real deal so they aim for the right target? Sometimes their idea of the vintage direction isn't that of players.
I was all ready to come and post, yet again, a video a Japanese rocker did. Comparing real deal vintage reverse and non-reverse thunderbirds to modern Gibsons, Epiphones, and customs with Lulls and Lollars.Great news!

I like them best with Tony Stevens on bass but there were some later songs that I liked quite a bit....
Lesser known, but my fave.
Agreed. I prefer the earlier work, generally. One of the bands I never got to see live, and one would have loved to play in (in my fantasy world!).Isn't it funny how Brits picked up on the Blues, but it was largely ignored and not taken seriously by most (not all) American artists that weren't from the South, even when some of the Brits were having a good go of it!

Post away if you ever find it again!
Good question. Possibly down a little, given there would be a Real Contender for the Real Deal Thunderbird. But then again it may generate interest in the Real Deal.
My memory isn't always good, but weren't we swapping strings for the Ashdowns?
It’s here, and it just sings through that amp. Beautiful finish, plays well right out of the box, and it has “that sound.” That’s the sound I remember from when I played a Thunderbird from ‘77-‘81.
More than gorgeous! Luv that color!!!

Gorgeous in the Burgundy Metallic! Congratulations!
happy to add you to the club, just let me know.
I found it!
youtube's search algorithm doesn't find it, like it used to. But I found a thread where I posted it before, and the videos are still up.

quoted again for context, Gibson should watch these videos:
The yardbird basses which don't say that they have Lull pickups ----- have Lollars.
