Quality:
This bass is built of quality, its killer, its a rock n roll bass
Features:
Nothing special about it to be honest, two volume n a tone control, no spectacular features but what an incredible sound
Sound:
Well it gives off a true "thump", which is what i need. I played the Nikki Sixx blackbird, and own it, and thats my number one, but i didnt wanna beat the heck out of it, so i got this one
Playability and Feel:
Plays great, flat black body gives an amazing feel to it, not heavy even though some people consider t-birds 2 be neck heavy
Tone:
Dark, thumpy , good bang for your buck, again, nothing 2 me beats the nikki sixx blackbird, but this is up there, for 300 bucks, buy it and beat the mess out it playin, it can withstand the punishment
Finish:
Great paint job, the satin flat black makes it easy to hold n "glide" to wherever your heart desires
Action:
no trouble there, everything i buy from ams is always gr8

Great bang for the buck
Quality:
For the price I paid, this is a very well made bass. It is a very simple design so I can't see it having any dependability problems.
Features:
The sound is undoubtedly the best feature of the Thunderbird IV. I would change the strap anchor placement.
Sound:
It has a nice tone that is perfect for punk, hard rock or metal. My 5 string Ibanez doesn't produce the lows that this does.
Playability and Feel:
It is very easy to play. The fast neck is a plus, but the reverse style body makes it hard to hit notes below the 13th or 14th fret (if you play there). The placement of the strap anchors is counter-intuitive, leading to neck dive if you take your hand off the neck. A thick leather strap should remedy this or you could change the strap anchor position to a better place, maybe behind the body.
Tone:
The pickups sound great for humbuckers.The tone is smooth and consistent, with decent sustain. The stock strings are good for any style of playing (picking, slapping, etc)
Finish:
The finish is nice. It doesn't appear to dent or scuff like other basses I have. It is not a polished finish so it doesn't show fingerprints.
Action:
The action was a little high out of the box. However, the bridge design allows you to make string height adjustments by simply using a flathead screwdriver. It was also way out of tune out when I first took it out of the box.
Do you own this product?:
Yes
Quality:
Yes very good quality. Made really well. A bit neck heavy but can live with it.
Features:
The whole thing is very good love it.
Sound:
It has a very heavy and hard hitting tone. Great for metal or any other kind of music.
Playability and Feel:
Playability is very easy and comfortable. The neck is a bit thicker than my other bass but very easy to play.
Tone:
It is snappy and dark. The pick ups are very hot very fast with out hesitation. Will say have to watch the volume on this one will make your ears bleed if not careful LOL.
Finish:
Wonderful paint job. Love the flat black finish and the celtic cross on the pick guard really adds to the look.
Action:
The action was fanominal. Sounds better than my Ibanez.

Quality:
It was made well.
Sound:
It sounds OK, nothing amazing.
Playability and Feel:
It is neck heavy, it is not a good bass if you are not tall and skinny. If you got a belly stay away from this bass, the neck was ok on it, pretty easy to use
Tone:
it can get decent tones,
Action:
OK. I had to lower it

Craven Blood from Streator, Illinois USA
Quality:
I think this is one of the best quality basses I've had the chance to play. I'm a Schecter guy myself but, I love the feel of this guitar.
Features:
The flat body and low action are a nice touch to this bass. The only thing is it is neck heavy. other than that, This is a bass you can't pass up.
Sound:
I was actually surprised at the tones it was able to produce. I played so many different basses that were over the $299 price tag this had and none could produce the rumble this did.
Playability and Feel:
Bit heavy like I said before but, this bass has a fast neck.
Tone:
Compared to most basses this has the capability to be bright and snappy or dark and smooth.
Finish:
I love the finish. No fingerprints.
Action:
The action was smooth and the neck is very fast.

Finish:
Just plain flat black, Doesen't show fingerprints and looks good.
