discreet Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) May possibly be a one-trick pony, but it's quite a trick. Edited July 21, 2013 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceonaboy Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 f*** mate take it, its a genuine piece of vintage history and a genuine Gibson from that age would do more than be a one trick pony. I would love an original Gibson especially an old one. Snap it up man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 1976-79 IMO were the last proper Thunderbirds. Any made since then are completely different instruments that just happen to share a name and body shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Great sound and look but very , very uncomfortable basses , in my experience . I got offered an endorsement one by Gibson a long time ago but I found it unplayable and gave them it back ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 And if it really is the '76 it will have the special '76 logo on the pickguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 They are the coolest bass bar none but as said above, they ain`t for everyone. I have owned a few and love the look but can`t get on with the way they hang on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Not played a Gibson, had a couple of Epiphones. Great basses, great sound, nice players. But dragging a case around that`s bigger than a volvo estate just did me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
