BASS - Thunder 1A Bass..... Bit odd on the bay Empty Thunder 1A Bass..... Bit odd on the bay

Post by dustymiller Mon Mar 02, 2015 11:47 am

Hi all,

Just noticed this one, looks a bit odd to me... odd Headstock, no serial number and with a bridge pick up,..... Could it be that someone has hacked the headstock and cobbled together the extra pickup or possibly a prototype for another Thunder model....?

It's a sawn-off. There is no central peak on the head stock. Poor bridge pick-up routing, too Crying or Very sad .

Could have been sawn-off to remove the serial number? Is it hot?

The only reason for cutting down the headstock would be to remove the serial IMHO.
it's a Thunder 1A but whoever owned it was desperate for a Thunder 3!
it's a sad specimen indeed.

Me too!  I turned down offers way over the selling price,  still, I made a profit and someone got a good deal,  so everyone wins eh,  it was actually bought by a board member here,  not massively active though.
