    Just had the pleasure of meeting @ricksterphil who's bought a Custom NR Thunderbird from me. Nice easy transaction, good comms - just as you hope for here on Basschat. Hope you enjoy the bass, Phil and here's to next time! Cheers Nik

    This was mine once upon a time ago... It was a great bass for the money even then, before your upgrades @Paolo85, so it must be a whole lot better now! GLWTS 👍☺️

    Looks great Alex 👍☺️ I'm so pleased that Mick's old Markbass head found a new home too... Very true about the BC Marketplace - there's a lot of great gear available at very reasonable prices.

    That's true! 😂 Happy Birthday btw, Chris!

    You definitely are cool enough, Steve, hence the calibre of musicians company that you keep!

    It's a set neck Brian, I just don't have any confidence in courier companies for jobs like this these days..

    Cheers Rod, Hope you're keeping well 👍😊

    😂 That's like me when I went through my 'Roscoe Beck V string' period... I had 5 of them over 10 years - it got more than just a little excessive and silly! 😁

    I don't know if there's any difference sonically between a China built and a UK built model - probably not - but instinctively, I would think a UK built one would hold a higher resale value.

    By using that not so scientific method of weighing myself with and without the bass, I make it 4.1 kg (or 9.03 lbs in old money). Hope that helps....

    That is one very lovely looking bass!

    I haven't had any issues with neck dive since fitting a strap lock at the heel of the neck ( as shown in the pics above). I'll weigh it now....

    If I'm not mistaken, I had the pleasure of hearing this very bass in action at my charity's Gala Ball in Bedford last March... Excellent band, fab bass playing too and a very cool looking and great sounding bass! GLWTS 👍😊

    Hi Folks, Bit of a clear out going on at Silverfox Towers at the moment, so... For sale only, this completely unique Custom Build Non-Reverse Thunderbird bass that I bought in 2017 from Sean, aka @Billy Apple. The bass comes with an excellent quality hard case that I bought from @Chimike especially for this bass, as it's a bit longer than most standard 34" scale basses. For the bass & case, I'm looking for £NOW SOLD. The history of this bass from when it was first commissioned in 2013 is quite a story in itself; read more about it here: To describe the bass properly and give it it's full due, I hope Sean won't mind me quoting him from his For Sale advert at the time: "Completely unique custom built NR Thunderbird. The last of the Bachbird body blanks made from mahogany and a lovely rosewood board. Bach also supplied the two piece bridge. Routed to vintage specs by the Bass Doc, with a hand-made bone nut, vintage white scratch-plate, TRC and control cover. Pups are '66's from Steve at the Thunderbucker Ranch, along with one bevel surround and shim. Tuners are Gotoh Resolite GB528's. Vintage white top-hats with a matte white finish and set-up from John Williams at Noiseworks." I actually sold this to Rod aka @howdenspur a year after I bought it from Sean, and then did a trade with Rod last summer to get it back, specifically to use on a recording project. As I hope can be seen in the photos, it's still in excellent condition, though the matte white finish is beginning to mellow into more of an off-white colour, now that ( to me anyway) just oozes those retro rock & roll vibes! By the way, it's quite tricky to show the colour properly in the photos. The first 8 photos were taken yesterday. All the others are from 2018. Between all of those, I hope it shows what the colour is... As basses go, it's totally unique; a one-off, that sounds amazing and gets so much attention at gigs because it looks so cool. With a slim and super-fast neck, and after having been set up so well by John at Noiseworks, the bass really does play like a dream.. And it sounds great, and not just for rock either - you'd be amazed at how much of a slap monster this bass is !! "So, why are you selling? ", I hear you say, which is a good question. To which the answer is that I'm predominately using two of my basses all the time these days - my BC Rich Eagle, and a Fender P that I bought from @Mudpup recently... So much so, that I'll probably be selling a couple of my other basses quite soon too. Anyway, back on topic... Collection from Potton, Central Bedfordshire preferred, but I'm happy to drive to meet up if it's within a reasonable distance (say an hour). With a bass of this nature, I don't want to courier it - it's just too risky! Anyway, thanks for looking and if you have any questions about this amazing T-Bird, please ask away here or PM me. Cheers Nik

    Thanks Mert 👍 The Ashdown guys are great to deal with - Dave sent me a bunch of preamp valves last year after I had a chat wirh him. P. S. How's it going in the new band with Wendy?
