elduave Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Seeing the Firebird thread and knowing that an FB went from my backyard to Europe, I'm getting big time remorse GAS for an FB/TB! So, anyone have one they're not playing that they won't miss? If I'm lucky enough to get one I'm gonna gig and record with it so it'll get put to work! Hamer preferred but will consider most any Thunderbird style by any maker. 4's or 8's welcome! Trade bait: Anything hanging in the store is game as well...
serial Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Andre did something really crazy... he ASKED! I've moved a number of guitars or basses just b/c someone asked and timing was right (including two killer FB basses). I'm always amazed that more people don't ask if they have their eye on something, so Dave's got the right idea, only Im out of FB basses now! Still got ins FB, but it's a 6string.
Shark Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Check back here! Maybe these are still available ...André

I'm reminded of the chatter on the Farley. I couldn't of touched it $-wise, and I don't think you're into any of my trade bait, so that point is moot, but yeah, I'm puttin' it out there strong now. More trade-ables: Check back here! Maybe these are still available ... André Thanks dude. I'm sure I e-mailed Peter on the Zulu but perhaps didn't get a reply? Peter knows where I'm at though anyway. Only able to horse trade or have incoming FB/TB + $. No $ to throw at the deal on my end, but some good trade bait I'd say?
serial Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Didn't know THAT would have been an option!!! Damn!
elduave Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Didn't know THAT would have been an option!!! Damn! It may not have been when you sold to Andre, I don't think I was playing bass actively then and my jones wasn't as intense. But now you know!
Mindseyes Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Whats the details on that Standard???? FB's prety much rule!
elduave Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Whats the details on that Standard????New, Honey, wide random flame, Crowns, chambered. I'll e-mail you through the board.
cmatthes Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 That Standard is a killer one. It is the one made either right before or right after my Emeraldburst one, and the tops are basically mirror-images of each other.
hamertek98 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Pics for Dave. New Mike Lull bass at Namm....... Another. Mike would probably let you choose pups and bridge if you go the custom route.
elduave Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Mike would probably let you choose pups and bridge if you go the custom route. I'd pick that big fat motherfucker right by the neck, maybe one more. Allan Woody style.

hamertek98 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Nah, the 5 string on the left is 24 frets and may be a 35 inch scale. Both FB's are placed higher and a little farther back. The skinny/narrow necks thru me for a loop at first, being 1.5 nut width. Jazz neck on an FB style bass?!? Crazy good. Lull makes some great basses. I wouldn't know how to choose between a Lull or Sadowsky.Dave, Mike has taken the right trades in the past. You being a brick -n- mortar couldn't hurt.Details.http://www.mikelull.com/instruments/TBass.htmedit: IIRC, Mike only does bolt on neck basses. But he's one of the best at it.
DaveL Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I don't like the price, but this looks pretty cool in white I also noticed that Tokai and Orville have a set neck T-bird, you might have to buy overseas to snag onehttp://cgi.ebay.com/Gibson-Thunderbird-IV-...%3A1%7C294%3A50

I think the Headstocks help make it look shorter too.

I think the Headstocks help make it look shorter too. Those Hstocks do look a little small. Heard these will retail around 4200 and maybe street at 3000. Sorry to Hi-jack your thread, Dave LOL.

FWIW, repaired headstock, Hamer Triple Coil (original Ibanez Triple Coil included), pre-serial # ('75?), Ibanez deluxe case. Juicy.
serial Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Love that Iceman-those are great guitars. Dave-did the Hamer pickups drop right in or did you need a new mounting ring? Also-how do the Hamer pickups sound in there? The one thing I can't deal with is the feedback squealing at high volumes-the original pickups are a bit microphonic.
