NancyJohnson Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Can anyone here shed some light on the limited run Gibson Thunderbird Gothic bass? I found a few images online...effectively a Thunderbird in a black finish, black hardware and what looks like a darker than normal (stained?) fingerboard. The scratchplate has the eagle motif, but it's black. It was listed on Musicians Friend in the US at one stage. Doesn't seem to be anything else about this bass online. Nothing on eBay. Anyone got one? Cheers P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimefred Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Cant really help with that exact bass but Gibson are great at not shedding light on products that they have done a limited run of. My old guitarist bought a Gibbo Flying V Gothic loaded with EMG pups and ebony board and a few different bits to all the other Gothics we had seen. It took bloomin ages but we found out it was a ltd run they called the Gothic 2. Not a single bit of info on any Gibson site, we had to find out from old sales pages that had not been taken down n stuff. Good luck finding info let alone finding one lol.

neepheid Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'd ask over at [url="http://bassoutpost.com/"]http://bassoutpost.com/[/url] - a lot of Gibson knowledge over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
