I have owned this bass for 2 years now and it's been the strongest bass so far. the features are basic 2 volume 1 tone, it is such a versatile bass, one minute you can play funk and jazz the next you can play rock and metal with a minor tweak. I've rammed and smashed this bass into amps, band risers and floors, and it keeps in pitch perfect tune. i think it's a great bass for beginners to professionals. overall i've been very pleased with this bass and definitely got my moneys worth.

Bought it new from the local guitar center because of how it looked, the strings that came on it (with the standard red threaded ends) needed to be replaced asap so I slapped some slinkys on it and it sounded awesome. The pickups are made so that you can rest your thumb on them when you play, and the three point bridge comes in handy. Only downsides are that it's neck heavy with a strap and it may be awkward for some to play sitting down. This bass has a lot of low end on it for if you're into that and in my opinion not enough high or mid. The neck is really thick on it too making it a little harder to reach some notes. You also need a special fit case for it because of the shape being so awkward and so long, even the biggest universal bass cass I have wouldn't come close to fitting it. Traded it recently on a whim for an Ibanez rgx300 and I'm much more impressed with it. In my opinion, go to a local store that has it and try it out.

And I still find myself using it as my primary. I must admit, this is one amazing bass for it's price. The tone is amazing, it feels better than others i've tried, and the Thunderbird body is by far the most amazing style in my eyes. I would highly reccomend it to any of a novice, or even semi-veteran players.

I played this bass and i really didn't like it. if i was looksing for a epiphone i would go for a diferent one not this

well first off it sounds great i mean i love the sound but a few thing you need to note i fond only having 20 fret to be kind of will i whud have like a deeper neck and it is heavy but i did not mind what i did mind how ever is how the neck keep shoting up and ther was not a dang thing i cude do and if you like playing low on the neck will good luck you will be fighting the shape the hole time lol
