NOW REDUCED TO £1050 with possible trade

 

I've recently bought myself a classic BMW and it needs a little paintwork and wheels refurbished,
so I'm thinking to let go my 2004 Thunderbird bass.


I bought it from Nancy Johnson of this parrish and come witha a Babicz full contact bridge, dunlop straplocks and Gibson hard case.

The bass is Ivory and as such shows some play wear, a few dings, typical Gibson nitro white finish.

Since purchasing this bass, I've done a handful of gigs with it. It sounds fab but I can't stop playing my Fender Flea bass.
The bass works perfectly, truss rod good, pots and pickups all good too.

I only have one picture atm, taken at a gig.

Any questions, please get in touch,
Possible trades now, Sire 5 string Jazz + cash my way
Here's a picture of the BMW in case you're interested lol [attachment=257396:bmw1.jpg]

it depends what you want. 850 has more grunt and is quicker and they did a CSI version.
my 840 is a 4.4 V8. auto, fairly quick, sounds nice, drives great, looks fab!!

my brother has a 1974 3.0 CSI

Nice piece ! Do you have more pictures ? Are you willing to send it over the UK (France for instance...) ? The fingerboard is rosewood or ebony ?
Thanks for your reply !

sorry I'm not shipping this, they're too fragile. Where in France are you?

His profile says'Paris'.

Hmm... Kent..? Paris..? Eurostar..? Tunnel..? Return ticket..? How hard (or expensive...) can it be..? ;)
Or meet halfway through the tunnel..? :lol:

I have to say that this was the best sounding Thunderbird I owned.  Almost Rickenbacker-esque.  Sounded sublime through a Sansamp BDDI.

It's very light, well balanced and the neck has a beautiful profile.  I bought this in from Ishibashi as you just couldn't get Ivory finishes and it was my #1 until the Lull arrived.

Buy with confidence, this is an amazing bass.

I remember seeing Sami Yaffa of Hanoi Rocks using one of these and it looked soooooo exotic, have a bump for a great looking bass.
