Thunderbird club

[wicked_child]

Clones (Epi, Warmoth, etc.) are welcome.

Mine is a Vintage Sunburst Epi. Has a darker finish than most Thunderbirds.

Hi.

My slightly modded Epi.

Now there's even the toggle switch to choose between the Model One, TB neck or both that the picture lacks . Works like a charm.

'76 Gibson Thunderbird, I'm the original owner:

My other '76, I rescued it two years ago. Found it on Ebay, completely stripped of all hardware, pickguards, etc. They even removed the truss rod nut. I was fortunate enough to find all original parts for it:

I also have a Brice FB-1 Thunderbird copy, but no pictures.

1979 T-Bird.

I've had it since 92 or 93- it was my main bass for around 5 years. Since then it was kind of in "retirement" until last year.

Odd thing about the 1979 'Birds, I've read that Gibson's shipping records state there were only 8 Thunderbirds sent out in 1979. Between mine and others I've seen on the intArwebs I've seen all 8 of them plus another 10 or so...

I picked them up from Ebay & Craigslist. It took me a long time to find them. Now I'm thinking of selling them so I can fund a Gibson LP Standard bass that I have on lay-away. GAS is an evil thing!!

Hey wicked_child- are you going to hand out numbers?

My 76' Tbird.....seen a lot of miles and I don't take her out of the studio much these days, but still got that amazing tone.

Anybody own one of the new Gibson Tbird 5 strings? Saw one at GC the other day, doesn't look like it's neck thru, but still caught my eye.

That Greco LP kills me every time: super bass!
Here's my 76 'bird:

(bird painted black by the PO...grrrr....)
