I’ve been after one of these for a while. I used to have a white one many years ago and rated it, so this makes ideal project. I can’t afford a Gibson and I prefer the Tokai set neck to the bolt on Epiphones. Let’s be clear, from the off, this is TB shaped bass. The stock parts leave something to be desired, and everything will be stripped out, apart from the pickups. A couple of pictures of it before work commences, care of the seller, because I forgot to take any before I got stuck in

I actually typed bear festival above…. that would be even better

Munich beer festival?

This ^^ TI flats are my absolute favourite, and they’re nice and soft to the touch. If I want more attack, I’ve also moved over to Newtone.

I’m in, Dan’s a long time member here and top guy.

Yep 3.5mm x 25mm was my guess

Basically tight grained wood (Maple, Ebony) is harder and brighter sounding. Open grained wood (Rosewood) sounds woodier and darker. A generalisation, but near enough. I remember when Pau Ferro was touted as a premium option, on SRV Strats for example. Now it’s considered a poor man’s Rosewood.

You say that now….. but you’ll bond with it during the gig….. and want to keep it.

Yes I have flats on my Epiphone Embassy (Thunderbird pickups), and it sounds wicked. I’m undecided about what to put on the Thunderbird, once its new parts are fitted.

Rolf Harris was…..

One for the young people there

I'm ok... GAK have got one in stock.... so my imaginary self is in the car on the way to grab it....

You’re right 😕, my LTD is out of stock, so technically it doesn’t count

Not what I’d normally go for, but it would cover many eventualities….. LTD B-15

…… there’s a gig tonight, and you can’t access your gear. There’s an amp at the venue, but you need a bass. It has to be new, from a store, today and there’s no time to modify it. What are you going to buy?

I had the exact same scenario with a customer who bought some of my artwork. I sent it signed for, via our friends at the Royal Mail. They delivered it and somebody signed for it, but it wasn’t my customer or his neighbours, and it was never seen again. Royal Mail didn’t want to know.

Awesome cheers

He’s exactly who I had in mind…. SO cool to see a Thunderbird in that scenario.

Nice bit of moderation with the title of the thread, I wasn’t sure if that was PC or not.
