Gone again? I don't see them on the Thomann site

Looks okay in black. Actually, a pretty good idea.

Don't let anyone talk you out of it if you want to upgrade. I did, and my Squier's twice the bass it was before. Sure, the stock pickups are okay, but do you want okay or do you want something special? Dimarzio Relentless

Dean Exotica, the older model with the Aphex System electronics, Aural Exciter and Big-Bottom Sound. Wouldn't trade my for a Tacoma Thunderchief, an Earthwood, Guild, etc, etc, etc. I believe in the MTV Unplugged school of thought...plug in! It's all about tone.

Hard to find an answer for that one. On another board, someone actually said "50th Anniversary of the Precison" and people actually gave it thumbs up.

Looks like something Gumby would play.

The P bass looks pretty good!

Some look good, most don't. Probably the only two I really like.

Yes, one of those AliExpress basses. In retrospect, I wish I'd bought it, good or bad. The gunmetal blue and black looks incredible.

Thumb ramp?

Love to have these two hanging on the wall.

No active/passive switch but two nice finish options...I think they look a bit classier than the typical Talmans. Cosmic Blue Starburst iced Americano Burst $399.99.

Yes, my Thundergun is 7.5 lbs, around the same weight. Korina...most are fairly lightweight.

Neon White...they just don't inspire me.

Another cool Reverend bass...retro looks put in a different league than so many typical FSO basses. (I'm replacing the DR strings on my Thundergun with GHS black tapewounds, had them on a Thundergun years ago...perfect match.)

I really like this one, but it looks like whoever designed the other one started to do it right but then came up blank when he tried to finish it, so he just decided to cut it short...that straight bottom just doesn't look right.

You don't see the Thundergun hanging up in every shop, bought mine online, but I think it's one of the best-kept secrets in the bass world.

I actually like that "click on the color, not the word" exercise. I'll post it occasionally on Facebook. Maybe, but neck dive is such an easily-solved solution I haven't considered it a problem since my first Thunderbird. As for the price? I'd pay $600 for one before I'd pay $900 for one of those humdrum Fender Player Precisions. Plenty of unusual pickguards out there. I've always wondered why Fender went with this half-assed one. I really like the art deco Kay pickguard, though.

$629...under £500. (Looks good with the purple Orange amp.)

Nice photo for sure...it's all about lighting and the proper angle. I already have the Dakota Red version or I'd buy it. Of course, if I walked into Guitar Center or Sam Ash tomorrow and saw it hanging up, I'd buy it regardless.

A bit of sunshine on an overcast, snowy day. (Not mine, but...)

Unless you need to buy a bargain bass because of your budget, so many better short-scale basses out there than the Junior Jet. Other than that, one's a $300 bass, the other is a $900 bass. Are they the only two available?
