roceci Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Don't know too much about these so took a punt on the price based on how it feels and plays. Which is pretty good for a budget bass made in China! Picked this up for free at the local tip and got to work cleaning it up and replacing the knobs on it. Electrics are sound and it's in very decent condition overall considering where I got it. Sounds like how I imagine a TBird should. Would make a great backup bass for anyone who uses these. It's long, it's heavy and it neck dives like no one's business but that's all part of the charm with these right?! Collection preferred or will meet up a shortish drive from central Cardiff.

binky_bass Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Tempting, but I know myself... I'd mess around with it for a few months then likely end up selling it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 A T bird is one bass I've never, ever tried, purely as one's never been proffered, not even had a go of one in a guitar shop... surprising as I've been knocking about a fair while.. If you were around London I'd be most interested 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 This is sooo tempting. Tokai have a wonderful reputation and I've been thinking about trying out a Hardpuncher for years. This though would tick off two boxes at once - Tokai and Thunderbird. However, I have too many basses (apparently!) and I'd have to justify whether or not it would get much use, so I guess I'll have to pass this time. If it's still available in the autumn (I hope not for your sake, and I can't see it not selling at this ridiculously low price), I'll be tempted again. GLWTS (but I don't mean it!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now restrung and suitably fettled, it's frighteningly good... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
