| Quality:
| Put together well, very solid piece. Neck is true, the bridge is kinda weird but I could care less as it sounds great and plays great. |
| Reliability:
| I gave it a 4 - I've only had for 3 or 4 weeks, but it's played well over that period ;) |
| Overall:
| Love it. Great piece of work, I am really stunned by how nice this is. Of course, price is a consideration - this isn't a $3000 bass, it's $300. I would place it in the $700-type range. I'd expect this price to go up at some point.
I was looking for the Tobacco Burst and/ or that Blue one, as I am by no means a "Goth" guy - not that there's anything wrong with that. But if you're shopping the Epi T-Birds definitely give the Goth a chance. The Mahogany body makes a HUGE difference in the sound and for me, the Goth is clearly superior to the rest of the family. Maybe that Nikki Sixx model is hotter - *shrug* - I didn't try it (couldn't find one, first of all, and anyway, that bass's looks are just *way* not me). |
| Playability and Feel:
| Smooth and Light, believe it or not. The matte finish really lets you glide on the neck.
Like all T-Birds, it's neck heavy. You'll want to mod it by adding a new straplock behind the neck (just google for the fix). In my case, I installed the new lock into the body, actually, right where the neck meets it, slightly left of center. This corrects the neck drop 100% and this is now easily one of the best balanced basses I own and is easy on my olda** back. |
| Tone:
| Good range. Bright and snappy, pick ups are HOT; mahogany body is different from the other Epi T-Birds - sustain forever and really punchy tones can be dialed in.
Playing through an Ashdown 300 MAG and am really able to get all manner of great sounds, from classic rock to punchy pop/ punk. |
| Finish:
| Matte finish looks great. |
| Action:
| Fabulous! Kudos to #12 @ Epiphone. There's a little bit of buzz but I don't really care - it plays great. |

QUALITY:
Awesome body shape, nice Schaller tuners and the two ceramic pickups give you a wide range of tones. Don't be afraid to beat the heck out of it live; it'll just get better looking with time.
FEATURES:
The neck is nice, if a bit on the heavy side. Thicker than an Ibanez or Jackson, but easier to handle than a Fender or Ernie Ball. The finish is jaw-dropping gorgeous.
EASE OF USE:
Caution: the strap buttons are on the small side, so I reccomend using this with a new strap or one that isn't worn down and can still grip; especially for the one above the neck. Also be careful with the input jack since it's on the top/front side. Don't step on your own cable while performing 'cause it'll mess up your input instead of letting the cable simply pop out.
This is great for rockers who like to sling it low. The Thunderbird's topside groove is well suited to rest the heel of your hand while fingerpicking.
