I have nothing to do with the seller but I would imagine that someone on here would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) "For reluctant sale is an incredibly rare and hard to find Epiphone Thunderbird Elite. Last time you saw one of these for sale?" Er, 3 or 4 weeks ago, when the same bass was up at £750 (I think) starting price, and it failed to sell. . Karl.

Delberthot Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 They are pretty rare but not far off USA Gibson Thunderbird money - I reckon closer to £500 and it would sell. More expensive than the Epi Pro but less than a Gibson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'd agree with that. It doesn't help that the pictures are rubbish. I believe that the Elite is neck through like the Gibson version, but there's no photographic evidence of this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) I think they were set neck but I might be thinking about the Gibson Studio Thunderbird. I'd also heard that these were the same as the Made in Japan Orville by Gibson basses and just rebadged Edited August 19, 2011 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
