    Gibson Thunderbird '99: Weight of stock tuners vs. Hipshot Ultralite

    I'm thinking of trying to balance my bass a little better, but haven't been able to find any info (or even anecdotes) about this potential solution. If anyone seeing this knows, or can easily find out, I'd appreciate it. The particular Ultralites I'm thinking of are the USA 3/8" mini clovers...

    Has anyone ever used a Gibson Thunderbird in any kind of prog?

    In my experience Gibson Thunderbirds are usually thought of as basses people use for playing simple and heavy bass lines but has anyone ever seen someone using it in prog or just generally using it for more complex stuff?

    NBD Gibson Thunderbird content

    I couldn't pass up the deal SW made me on this “demo” T-Bird. The flaw in the finish, where the bottom wing joins the central body, on the back of the bass, is very thin, exposing wood. This is just in the recess, along the corner. Biggest surprise was the weight. It’s light. 8.3 lbs on a...

    Hi, I used to play a Fender Precision Bass using an Ergostrap and I could manage to extend it and use it almost below my hip, now I got a Gibson Thunderbird and the strap can't be adjusted the same way. Any of you is aware of a long strap that could work for the bass? Thanks!
