Pinball

This very capable bass that is well gigged. These highly specked Korean Legends, were only produced for a couple of years (2004-2006?) before reverting back to a more basic spec. Probably because it coincided with the release of, and competed, with some Czech models. A lovely tone and works well with my pedals. It has been a joy to own and used regularly. Great basses these! This one has a few battle scars. The most notable are a patch of missing paint on the back of one of the horns and a crack at the base of the stacked eq control. Neither would be noticed by an audience. Spec includes: 35"scale neck EMG Hz J & Humbucker pickups EMG B30 3-band circuit Figured maple top 5 bolt neck It is currently wearing flats but I will change back to rounds My only reason for sale is that I have seen something else on BC that I fancy Note: Case and delivery not included, although I may be able to find a case if needed.

I had one of these about 12 years ago. Fantastic pro level instruments! Someone is going to get a bargain.

Correct! There are quite a few differences from the original Thunderbirds. The originals were neck through construction and many suffered from neck dive. The studios design tackled those problems with many changes. A good, more solid bridge IMHO, lighter weight construction. A more rounded body, smaller headstock and lighter weight tuners. It retains the Thunderbird vibe, signature sound and electronics. A very "cool" and nice playing bass. I should say that I never owned one of the older Thunderbirds so am happy to be corrected. I played one of the more recent Reverse Thunderbirds, which I liked. I and was looking to buy one when I found this locally and I had to have it. I am already having 2nd thoughts about selling as it would be difficult to find another. The only other one I have seen in this colour was being used by the Molly Karloff bass player a couple of years back. He looked "cool as" but he is a lot younger than me and had more hair! He had removed the pickguard so it looked very red under the lights.

I found a video of a similar bass here:

A beautiful guitar in every way. Cherry red with "bird" inlays so a top line model

I have loved owning this bass but just don't use it. This late evolution of the Thunderbird has a superior bridge. In this version the body's edges are rolled off and it is light weight. The headstock is smaller than the original, Made in the U.S. of mahogany and equipped with Grover tuners and 2 TB Plus ceramic humbuckers. This Thunderbird combines the reverse body of the original with Gibson’s proven set-neck construction. It is very comfy and well balanced on the strap. Also in my favourite colour. It has been well gigged and has surface marks here, which don't show up on the photo's. Nothing nasty though! This bass has been a set of flat-wound strings and great action. All round excellent bass. It comes with a factory hard case, which has been well used and has a broken catch, an easy fix. Collection or trial and can post at cost.

A fantastic pedal, which is as new other than 2 things! 1. I can't remember where the box is and 2. I put a bit of Velcro on the bottom A fantastic looking pedal which is very musical and intuitive. It needs to go to a home where it will be used. Pictures to follow. In the mean time here's a video.

Happy to post at cost. I have a decent box.

Solid but not very heavy and it is very well balanced. I will try and get a figure for you in the next few days.

I snapped this up as it is one of my favourite ever basses these and I used to use one of these as my main! An Ibanez Premium bass so top of their range at the time. This one it is "tatty" but it plays great and sounds incredibly good. Lots of mojo and lots of grunt. It is also very versatile, as being a great rock machine. It has a fitted functional case to keep it safe. Someone will love it and I'm passing it at the price originally advertised on here:

Hi, I am looking to pass on this great bass. Condition is A1 and it comes with the soft case pictured. It has great upgrades and plays really well. I bought this from Rayman, and reckon it was a real bargain but will accept the same price. Reason for sale is that I want some money to put towards studio time. I never really had a use for it and was just curios 😎 Here is the original post.

aah my weapon of choice. These are fantastic instruments and I much prefer the USA Fender or G&L's that I had previously. I have it's twin and a one with humbuckers. You can hear this one with minimal effects here. GLWTS. Glassy but powerful and handles effects pedals really well:

very pretty

nice bass

Love your playing and the bass looks and sounds great...

Looks like a great buy for a gigging musician.
