@FatScotishguy i havent tried the original Gibson thunderbird but i think its on par only thing is that the finish is like the worn ebony in the sg short scale bass and easily gets scratches...
@FatScotishguy there are plenty of little differences that I am aware of. The headstock is smaller to make up for neck-dive (really that's more of a cosmetic thing, but still relevant). The playability/feel of a short scale is greatly different from long scale or standard necks. With short scale, the frets are all closer so playing fast licks up and down the neck becomes more fluid and easy; however, being smaller frets, the intonation isn't AS precise. Paul Mcartney and Jack Bruce used short
Please upload a sound test and full review if you can soon! I have a goth thunderbird and like it very much and I want a short scale bass and I want to know if this is the one for me.
Great playing, sounded sweeet!
