2nd T-bird...40 years apart

Posted by Dave O. from Missouri on Nov 9, 2009

Experience w/product: I have heard about it

Reviewer's Background: Was a pro...now mostly a collector

Reviewer's Play Style: Classic Rock / Christian

I had an original Gibson T-bird back in the 60's. I loved that bass! The neck broke at the nut in about 1969. I was heartbroken. I now have 14 basses, but never got another T-bird...till last week. The Epiphone has a slightly wider and thicker neck at the nut. Plays like a dream...perhaps better than my old one did. The sound is really awesome. The set-up was perfect from the store. Just like back in the 60's again.

This bird is the second best playing bass I have in my large collection. The only one that betters it cost more than 5 times as much!

Amazing for the price.

Ok, about three months ago, my Thunderbird had not seen sun light for a year, I decided to pull it out and play it for old times sake. When i first bought this bass, I was young, and did not know how to adjust the eq etc... now im more experienced, i can truly say, this bass has great tonal range, light (compared to many other basses) and looks awesome. I highly advise buying this bass if you want something that has so many tonal varieties.

I go this bass about a year ago and just came seem to put it down. It is a great guitar for the price. Also, the color I got (pelham blue) looks great. I reccomend this bass to anybody looking for a great deal.

Good bass, but badly put together.

I received this bass right with disappointment. My neck wasn't even all the way screwed in. MY strings were five inches from the fretboard. I drilled them in, and evened it out. So it was an easy fix.. you could say. My bridge doesn't pop out like the others, so I got lucky. It's a great sounding bass. Nice low tone to it. It does, as everyone knows, has a neck dive. But the dive can be fixed by the guides on the internet. Although these China made ones are pretty poorly put together. I warn you, this bass will not be as good until it's set up. But it's such a beautiful bass, I wouldn't trade it for anything.. -Der.
