Need Thunderbird (TBX) help.

[allotabass]

Does anyone out there have a Jackson Thunderbird / TBX. I need to ask a few questions regarding construction etc. If you have one and don't mind the tech talk, please give me a ring.
Thanks all,
Evan

Hey Evan,
I don't have the TBX but have 3 custom shop Jackson T-birds. What are you needing to know? I also have the catalog that list the specs on the TBX if there is something you need me to look up. Just let me know.

Re: Need Thunderbird (TBX) help.

Well, I'm going to be building my own....neck through with jackson-esque appointments, the works. I need a good traceing of the actual body. I would settle for a Gibson outline, but I feel the Jackson design is far better suited for my project. I have tried to outline a Gibson at a store, but the sales staff wouldn't let me. It all sounds childish, but that's the only thing holding me back. If you know of a website with plans for example, that would help greatly. Thanks for replying and the help.

Is the Thunderbird the same as the Firebird?

Oh yeah, cool! I remember seeing a couple of Brian's old basses before. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

If you just need a tracing I can do that for you. Just let me know you need it sent to.

The Thunderbird is the bass version of the Firebird - same body style.

How about an "Earthbird"? It could be an acoustic [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
