does anyone that knows Mark Mendoza, know if he still has the white 65 Gibson TBird (with broken headstock) that he bought back in '78 or has he sold/traded it or parted it out? Thanks in advance. | |||

great photo, thanks that would be the one. I wonder if he still has it or if he has parted ways with it??? As more recent photos show a different type bass. | |||

I'mthatguy, I apologize for picking nits, but that is a Gibson Thunderbird bass, The Firebird was the six stringer. An original non refinned, non broken headstock went for $6 K during the summer. | |||

Mr. Mendoza thanks for your time. I have sent a PM, if it does not go thru you can contact me at my personal email. I would like to repurchase this for Jackie. Thanks, Ron | |||
