QUALITY:
I bought this as I, like most "Starving Musicians", couldn't afford it's Gibson counterpart. While the sound was incredible, I was not impressed with the quality of the neck. I'm used to Fender Jazz basses, and this is a lot fatter, and less buttery than I prefer. I took it and one of my old Jazz Basses to a local guitar tech, had it routered out, and replaced the neck with the Fender neck. It is now my main bass. I have lovingly renamed it my Epifender Thunderjazz. It sounds like a demon in heat through my Ampeg V4BH all-tube head & SVT 410/115 stack. |

| Quality:
| great bang for your buck. this is one of the best basses by epiphone, really worth far more than the asking price. a cheap alternative to other high end basses. If you play rock, punk or metal, or anything heavy you must buy this one. why play with a jazz bass? |
| Reliability:
| great so far, I've only had it for a month. |
| Overall:
| again great. |
| Playability and Feel:
| it is neck heavy, no big issue there. I find it great for picking and finger picking because the strings seem to be a little spaced apart over the body. the other thing I love is that theres a nice space between the body and the strings, I use mostly a pick so it makes it easier for me to use without worries of scratching the body. neck is slim and fast. |
| Tone:
| thick and heavy. again great for rock and other styles, but it isn't the most versatile out there. |
| Finish:
| awsome, grainy wood. mine had a small flaw where the neck overlapse the body. the clear coat was flacking a bit but no big issue. it looks way better than does pictures do. |
| Action:
| was pretty much set up right out the box. they did a good job. I didn't really have to mess with it, it played nice, action was low, absolutey no buzz. |

| Subject: | The Thunderbird Rocks! |
| Quality:
| I have been playing bass for over 18 years, and like most musicians, have had a little bit of everything over the years. I had a Gibson Thunderbird back in the day and wound up selling it and some other stuff when times got lean. I have always regretted getting rid of that Bass. When I saw this, I was skeptical at first because of the price I mean how good can a $300 dollar bass be? WellI openly admit my skeptical nature was proven wrong! This thing plays as good, if not better than I remember my ol' Thunderbird did! Don't pass this up if your looking for a quality deal. This is it! I am very Pleased. |
| Reliability:
| Time will tell, since I just got it. But Epiphone has always stod behind and made killer products,so I have no worries. |
| Overall:
| If you didn't look really close at this, you'd swear it was a Gibson. I am pleased! |
| Playability and Feel:
| Like they say about fake breasts...It sure feels like the real thing; and fun to play with too! |
| Tone:
| tons of bottom end and smooth tone |
| Finish:
| better than the picture, mine arrived with a nice warm natural finish with hints of maroon and red. It's a beauty! |
| Action:
| It was set up right out of the box! Intonation was perfect, bridge was set up nice; after a minor tune up it was awesome! I look forward to gigging and recording with it! |

QUALITY:
Well constructed. Nothing is wasted beautiful Pellum Blue finish.
FEATURES:
2 humbucking pickups a warm, fat, punchy sound. Great string spacing what more can you ask for, a good Amp. If U got the right amp it would a pawnshop guitar sound good.
EASE OF USE:
Took a couple minutes, to setup and added NPS strings. This thing is like melted butter, smooth.
VALUE:
$299 you can't go wrong for a professional instrument that would take you from studio to stage.
SOUND:
like I said warm, fat and punchy. The only effect I use a Dunlap bass wah and ampeg and Fender amplification. |
