charic Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Im just wondering if anyone is bored enough to attempt a thunderbird bass paintshop for me. The spec im considering is alpine white body, black hardware and scratchplate. Matching white headstock, maple neck with black blocks. The image in my head is good Id just like to see it before I keep dreaming especially as Ive actually started drawing up specs If anyones up for it then thanks alot and a drinks in it for ya if we meet at a bass bash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll use the description you described in the GAS thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Haha, if u dont mind. I think i may have a small bass related prize in mind. Im not sure if this is gonna help the gas situation and warmoth seems to be a very expensive option. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bythesea Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 This is what I was seeing from your GAS post - anything like? [attachment=29916:TbirdWhite.jpg] I can see your wallet getting thinner from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ouch! Yeah thats exactly it! Major gas now! Any ideas of a luthier that might take this on? I need to get saving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bythesea Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Don't know of a luthier who would build that unfortunately (or maybe fortunately!) I'm sure that someone knows one though. Look forward to seeing the photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
