I played one at the Gibson Garage. Yes, it was very nice. Not 5k nice. There was blue paint on the edges of the fretboard which is inexcusable. My Venus XII is easier to play.

I saw a non-reverse thunderbird bass in Inverness green the other day. I picked it up and played around on it. It was nice.
It was over 3K though, so not in my range for something that’s nice, but not amazing. It certainly looked cool.
They’re still using that janky bridge on all their basses.
Det er mig der holder traeerne sammen.
